Something we haven’t seen from Grey before, rather that brutal honesty at others, brutal honesty about himself.

Sometimes we’re faced with hard choices, sometimes we need to prove ourselves, and sometimes we go about it in the wrong way. Is what Grey did here right or wrong? I’m not sure, but its what he did.

Okay, I promised this was coming. Here’s a brief look at the life and times of the DMPC, Derek One-Arm

One Sire down, one to go. Now that Marcus is defeated, all that remains is Natalia…

Tying in with Wednesday’s post, Callie was given the option of what to do with Marcus. Where will she go with that power? Why would she choose one over the other? What do I as the author want her to do?

Many of us fear death, but honestly, there are a lot more things in life to fear. In games where death tends to have such little consequence, where respawn is a term used casually, what threats can we as DMs possible pose to our players?

The time has come. The showdown with Marcus is here, and his opponant is not who you think it will be. Who will fell the foul traitor? Dive in and find out.

This one touches on a pretty heavy topic. Remember I have worked both as a Mythology teacher and at a Funeral Home/Cemetery. The idea of being forgotten ties into death pretty closely, so here’s a heads up on that one.

The dreaded self insert with two katanas! The DNPC! The overpowered DM fantasy made beyond the rules is the antithisis of everything that makes TTRPGs great… but how can they be done in a way where players not only tolerate them, but also love them?

The Coterie finds each other again and prepares for one final push! Marcus has the Scepter, Natalia is fortifying herself, and the city of Charlotte rests on a needle’s point.

Get ready for a long one people! This was one of my favorite chapters to write, so we’re going to be taking a look at this one pretty in depth. Faith is a fickle friend, should you be lucky enough to have it in your life. But where does it come from, how do we lose it, and can we ever truly recover it once it’s gone?

This week we seem to be exploring faith a lot. What does faith look like in a fictional world, either on the tabletop or in a book? And, more importantly than that, what can we learn about faith and how it should look in our real lives through these works of fiction?

Returning to Diego and Callie, our troubled Ventrue needs to start coming to terms with the World of Darkness that surrounds her, realizing that her safety wasn’t nearly as assured as she’d been led to believe, and that the world is a lot grittier than her Ivory and Glass towers allowed her to see.

The budding relationship is beginning to bloom, but why and how are unique to how I’ve written it in the past. You got your kiss, shippers, but can it last?

What would you do if you could rewrite history? What would you do today if you had the power to affect immediate, widespread change in the world? What would you do if no one could stop you?

Would you be a hero?

Grey has saved Isadora, Isadora has saved Grey, now they need to save each other by saving themselves. Can they do it?

There was quite a shift in Diego this week. He’s not the scared little boy that he used to be. He’s cut loose, letting his darker side out, and he is just feeling fine about that. Let’s delve into why…

A behind the scenes look at my opinions on AI in gaming and reflecting on my own experimentation with it in the past year, now that I’m officially in my late thirties now.

Gotta give Diego his time to shine too! But no longer will he allow others to dictate who and what he is. Its time for Diego to stand on his own two shadowy feet!

Getting the opportunity to really get into Isadora’s head was a blast, and I do hope that I get to do so more often next book as well.
