Of Fairy Tales and Aoharu X Machinegun

Oddly enough, there are bits of Aoharu X Machinegun that remind me of the ballad of Tam Lin.

Chasing Plotbunnies: Aoharu X Machinegun

Currently reading – and now watching, thank you Crunchyroll! – Aoharu x Machinegun. There’s a reason for that. Yes, beyond the lovely animated fight scenes.

(Though that would be a good reason all by itself. You can never have too much fight scene inspiration.)

Book Review: Secrets of the Old Ones

Secrets of the Old Ones by Blaise Corvin.

…I’d have to rate this one a 3. If it hadn’t involved a setting related to the Cthulhu Mythos, I think I would have dropped it after the first 20 pages.

Worldbuilding: For the Love of Murphy

I admit to having an inordinate fondness for Spanner in the Works characters. For two main reasons. First, there’s nothing more heartwarming than seeing an evil Take Over the World type totally derailed by the person they completely overlooked.

Starting a Bunny: Leatherbound

Note, this idea is still in the “poking around” stage, though I have main characters and the bare bones of a setting settled on. So anything here is subject to change!

First, magic is, in game terms, Int+Perception based – you have to be smart, and you have to be able to sense the flow of the spell/equations.

Book Review: City of Light

When it comes to Keri Arthur’s City of Light, two words: Brain Bleach.

I’m going to be up front and say I could not read the whole thing.

Broken Masquerades means the press gets involved when things go grrr.
