I came to the hunt dressed for war.

It's been a while! Though I'm currently still in Japan until the 22nd and updates won't truly return to normal until then, I'll slowly start publishing again this week; first some short Gunsoul/DW chapters depending on their advancement, then Blood & Fur on the 25th. The trip has been a blast so far a...

As I've warned for a while, I will now be on a break for some time; I've just hit 30 today (my God, that last decade flew by in an instant) and then going on a trip abroad with old friends from May 10th to the 22nd. I hope the backlog will prove entertaining until my return.
I intend to publish chapte...
