Ordo Dracul - The Mystery of Life (VtR2e homebrew)

While I've already posted a lot of short fiction pieces ('vignettes' as I call them) from Tumblr, I've also done a lot of homebrew, making new stuff for roleplaying games, mostly Chronicles of Darkness (previously new World of Darkness). Obviously to make use of these you'll need to [cough cough] "buy" the relevant books, in this case Vampire: the ...

Synth and Bullets (Vignette)

This is another vignette from Tumblr. This time it's got two inspirations: The first is Hotline Miami, with it's techno soundtrack and visceral violence, the second is Changeling: The Lost, a roleplaying game about people kidnapped by faeries who managed to escape, but come back to the real world changed in ways that normal mortals can't even see. ...

On Your Feet, Private (Vignette)

This next piece of short fiction is from 2011, and looks like it was originally posted on my Blogspot first. It's inspired by Geist: The Sin-eaters, a roleplaying game set in the then-World of Darkness (now Chronicles of Darkness, and set to finally get a second edition). In Geist, the player characters make a bargain to become permanently...

Broken Hearted (Vignette)

Much like Ghost in the Machine, this is another post originally from Tumblr. Actually, it might originally be from Blogspot. Either way, it's at least six years old and was very obviously inspired by Katawa Shoujo. I had wanted to write something depressing, I think. It was around the ...

Ghost in the Machine (Vignette)

This is something that's probably a decade old at this point, but it was on Tumblr, and since Tumblr is deciding to kill Tumblr, I'm bringing it over here. It's just a little piece of short fiction I wrote. I'd actually completely forgotten about it until I went back to check on Tumblr, which I probably should have done before my homebrew ...

Work is Bad, Actually

 What is work? What work needs to be done? Who gets to work, and more importantly who gets to not work? And are anarchists just layabouts who want to avoid work? 

These are questions I ask having just been kicked off of SNAP for failing to mee...

Strange how Jack doesn't enforce the rules evenly despite claiming to.

Liberalism and the Magic Circle [script]

Opening: Here's an idea: Are politics just a game? And if they are... maybe it's time for us to stop following the rules.
