The Blackspire Horror

I recently wrote and ran a very simple one-shot for Lamentations of the Flame Princess and it went well. Rather than write up the adventure as a module with GM advice, suggestions for play etc, I’m just uploading my actual notes from which any GM worth her salt should be able to improvise around the […]

Bare Handed

Every empire falls and there’s not a one that’s lasted,A state has an expiry date, and yours has blown right past itIt happened to us once and soon you’ll join us in the wreckageYour influence is fucked your credibility is lessenedMade enemies of friends and you suck up to dictatorsYou brag about your bombs but […]

Wooden Heart

The grove of trees was secluded, and it was dark. It was ancient and largely unknown. And it was waiting. The eldest of the trees held court there, squatting like a bloated tyrant with a tanglewood crown and grasping miser’s fingers raking the earth around its corpulent trunk. Healthy things did not grow there, wholesome […]

Apocalypse

I’m working on the background for a new fantasy horror setting and the following idea interrupted me this morning: Every generation produces zealots who believe that they are living in the End Times.At midnight of June 1st 1660 the bells of St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican began to ring by themselves, a long and […]

Beautiful Stranger

When I first became immortal I assumed it would be like being part of an exclusive club of wise and mysterious beings, roaming the earth like gods and angels. It really isn’t. There aren’t many of us but we keep bumping into each other. The world becomes a dull party. You know their jokes, stories, […]

(Old) School’s In For Summer

I recently discovered Lamentations of the Flame Princess mainly due to seeing it mentioned all over the Internet as something worthy of note – people talked about its high production values, innovation, boundary pushing etc and I thought I’’d see what all the fuss was about. The basic rules are available for free online in […]

Silent Movie Pacing

I’ve been watching a lot of silent movies lately – specifically as much of Lon Chaney’s output as I can find (the man could act with every cell of his body and is a pleasure to watch – seriously go find his stuff and savour it) and one of the things that struck me is […]

Beasts of the Bone Coast

After the wreck of the ship carrying them into slavery, a small band of survivors face the dangers of the hostile land where they have washed up. Gigantic insects, abandoned temples to alien gods, impenetrable jungles – and worst of all a city of hate-filled ape-men marching against an isolated human township that is our […]

NSFW

It was a hot day, and the office seemed hotter than the world outside. Despite the air conditioning she was perspiring, feeling lazy and sticky and just a little bit horny. Looking around herself, seeing that none of her co-workers were looking at her she slipped her cellphone from her purse and used her thumb […]
