IS: Chapter 66
As I sat in my Council Chamber and waited for everyone to arrive for the Council Meeting, I had to wonder if Minister Simowitz would even bother showing up. There had been multiple intelligence failures during the invasion of Von Strang's World, after all. He had to know that I wanted an explana...
JB: Chapter 12
The ship I bought with my credits on Ungara wasn't exactly one that had the best history. In fact, she was a former smuggler's ship. Apparently, she'd been the property of the Korugaran Smuggler Darjanik Taan, who used it to smuggle cargo into and out of war zones, quarantines, and block...
EV: Meanwhile, On Abydos III
Colonel Jack O'Neill had, by now at least, managed to figure out a plan. Sure he'd been winging it at first, but that was the first stage in any daring rescue against all odds. Besides, he'd been in a lot worse situations than this, like that time in East Germany back in Eighty-Two. The ...
Announcements: Cancellations and Going Forward
So, a bunch of people have canceled their subscriptions and I'm not sure why. In the spirit of doing better, what would you guys like to see going forward? Would people like it if I put up a poll to give you guys a choice of any new stories you might want to see? Or a Monthly Poll for which stor...
F&L: Chapter 48
My Summer began with a visit to Gringotts, where my Accounts Manager, Rotwile, congratulated me on such a useful and novel innovation. Then he almost immediately buried me in licensing paperwork. Apparently, I needed to sign off on various license agreements personally for them to be considered bind...
RM: Interlude: The Vale Marches
Ser Lyn Corbray frowned as he watched his artillery duel with the artillery from the fortress in front of him. Bronze Yohn Royce declaring for Stannis was an unpleasant surprise, especially given how well-fortified the Royce Lands were. House Royce had long been a priority target for raids by the Mo...
OG: Images For Chapter Twenty-One
Here we have images for the last Chapter. It's mostly of the Hot Tin Roof Club, but Takeda Ken's Monokatana, the Raikirimaru, is in there as well. For the Hot Tin Roof Club, you've got to imagine more dead people, though. Unfortunately, the AI Image Generators couldn't seem to get th...

OG: Chapter 21
The Hot Tin Roof was a club out in Japantown West, close to the Bridge that led across the river into Kabuki. Notably, it wasn't a BD Club but booked live musical acts, the Mox feeling the need to diversify their holdings. It usually only had to deal with the Japantown Animals maybe hassling the...
HL: Chapter 26
"Again. This time, mix the Heaven Chi with the Flame Chi as it reaches your Ajna Chakra, not before and not after!" Demanded the Old Man.Jackie growled and pushed himself up offa the ground, wiping his face down with the towel provided by his Uncle Li. They'd been at this for a couple ho...
NT: Chapter 98
As time sped back up, my Megakinesis locked down Shermie and Nanakase even as a flash of power and light crashed through the Arena. Nightwolf, in what had to be a display of Shamanic Power, began chanting in Lakota, which I didn't speak but should probably learn, and drawing on mystic and spirit...
HPLN: Chapter 52
Over the course of the rest of Spring of Two-Seventy-Eight and Into the Summer, I spent much of my time on administration. The Hemp Seeds and cuttings had arrived from the Bosporans now that they weren't focused on fighting Bolgios and I needed to organize the plantations, for one thing. For ano...
F&L: Chapter 47
Over the course of the next three weeks, classes rapidly began to wind down as the last week of the school year approached. The pall of the events of the Stone and those of the near-fatal miss with the Goblins that had almost led to war had lingered past those events' occurrences. Now, however, ...
MM: Chapter 50
Almost immediately, I had to cast a shield as Legault's construct rifle fired beams of weaponized hard light my way. The beams thundered into my shield to little effect, while I nodded at Jubilee and gestured to the side of Legault, trying to indicate that she should flank the Superhuman Mercena...
EV: Interlude: Meanwhile, On Abydos II
Colonel Jack O'Neill had had better days. That was a bit of an understatement, of course, but what else could you say when ET decided to show up with a freaking battleship and totally ruin everyone's day? There wasn't an expression for that sort of thing, for crying out loud! Unfortunate...
IS: Chapter 65
My Victory against the Von Strangs won, I returned to administration as Thirty-Twenty-Eight got underway properly. The very first thing that happened was that I received a message from Rasalhague. Apparently, First, Second, and Third Drakøns were still working up on their new equipment, but they we...
BBG: Images for Chapter Twenty-Nine
Here's the Images of new Characters from the last Chapter. As you can see, some things aren't as apparent as Robar Thinks. For example, he thought the divine component of Corbin's Mystic Theurge came from Druid. It instead came from being a Cleric of Yondalla. Meanwhile, he drastically u...
BBG: Chapter 29
Our group was ushered through the Overhill Town by Commodore Islandwarden and a group of his troops, the halflings shouting at various people to get out of the way. Humans, Dwarves, and Elves bustling about the Market Square of the Overhill Town hastened to scramble out of the way of the wedge of he...
WAB: Images for Chapter Three
Here are the images for Chapter Three. There's a lot this time, both in terms of people and places as well as in terms of items. Of course, this run of chapters is essentially a bunch of courtly intrigue with some Colonization By Foreign Powers Shenanigans going on, so there's bound to be a ...
WAB: Chapter 3
As we were led into Kobayakawa Castle, I noticed the Guards were not equipped and outfitted in the standard attire and with the standard blades for the usual Samurai. Oh certainly, there were the standard Katana that you would expect from troops like this, but they weren't wearing the usual Kimo...

OG: Chapter 20
I didn't wait for the blast from the Grenade I shot out of the air to clear before leaping out of V's Ao Guang, clearing the open hatch of the Kombi and tucking and rolling as I hit the pavement. I came up to one knee and began firing as I did so. Ten Millimeter rounds charged with Electrica...
JB: Chapter 11
Fentara Rrab turned out to be a bearded, wiry, Graxosian. He was clearly older, with streaks of whitish-gray in his blonde beard and shaggy hair that showed his age. However, with age came experience, especially when you'd been wielding a Power Ring for most of your adult life. Fentara Rrab was ...
NT: Chapter 97
As an opening, Nikaido launched a Chi-Powered Knee Strike at me that I backed away from. He didn't stop there, though, hopping onto one foot to lash out at me in a jumping back spin kick, which I also dodged away from. The third part of his combination, though, a back flip kick trailing a bolt o...
F&L: Chapter 46
The Art Room was decorated with streamers in Gold and White, with a banner wishing me a happy birthday in big gold letters. Along one wall, a table sat with a whole bunch of sweets from Honeydukes, alongside two whole cases worth of Butterbeer, kept cold by cooling charms. Along another wall, presen...
EV: Interlude: Meanwhile, On Abydos. . .
Daniel Jackson couldn't believe it! His theories had proven correct! The entire Academic Community had practically laughed him out of every symposium and institution he had tried to join or had already been a part of because of them, calling him mad! He had been right, though, and everyone else ...
RM: Interlude: Meanwhile With Stannis
It had been a swift campaign so far. After the Battle of Last Rest and the march into the Central Riverlands, Stannis had mostly only fought skirmishes against Tywin Lannister's forces, save for a small force of Tywin's Lapdogs under Lord Karyl Vance and Lord Jason Mallister. Wayfarer's ...
OG: Chapter 19
We arrived at Lizzie's ready to Slammit On with the Animals, piling out of V's Ao Guang and rushing into Lizzie's Bar Iron out and ready to fight. Fortunately, it seemed our haste was a bit premature. Nobody was ready to Slammit On at Lizzie's just yet. However, both Erica Nightly an...
OG: Images of the Champions From Interludes
Here we have the images of the various other Champions that aren't Aleksander Yurinov or Big E. They're all in setting-appropriate attire, and you'll note that Alia and Emma aren't wearing the sort of gear that they would be in the field, that's because they're pictured in th...
BBG: Chapter 28
For a few moments, we did nothing but heal and rest, using what few spells and potions we had left before heading back up into the Coral Citadel Proper to loot the tower that Xommyrru Mentioned for any remaining health potions that the Sahuagin may have been keeping around. The stuff tasted like sea...
