Lila returned a deadpan stare at Sella. Seriously?! “You just couldn’t resist, could you?” she managed after a few seconds of silence. Sella smiled back at Lila. “I’ve not been this excited in decades; of course I couldn’t resist! Now get your cute little behind over here so that we can get started.” “Are…those really necessary?” Lila eyed the chains dubiously. “It’s a ritual process;...
The stone stairs were cooler than the floor of the mausoleum as Lila descended, and noticeably rougher in texture once her feet touched down on the ancient stone. She eased herself down sideways at one point, avoiding a small pile of broken glass that had come from one of the overhead light fixtures when it had blown. A few other lights flickered erratically on the steps, and once she had...
At the back of the main building, her search around the front and sides having come up empty, Lila stood at the entrance to another walled-off section of the grounds, though these walls were natural, standing almost fifteen feet high. The hedge maze entrance was still open, though the maze itself was overgrown and had several larger trees growing out of its walls. She’d not heard back from Kori...
“Let’s see…hmmm…” Kori tapped his chin as he walked around the building, looking up and down as he did for any sign of an entrance like what Lila had wanted.

“What’s the matter, you two? I’m the spoiled rich girl, so I should be the one lagging behind! Aren’t you supposed to be some kind of treasure hunter and adventurer, Lila?” Releana’s haughty laughter trailed back down the steep hillside to the kerryn and elf that were struggling to keep up. Lila breathed heavily, sweating profusely even though she wore light clothes and a light day pack, and...
Nothing too major this week, but I’ve been trying to get myself back on course and start working on my Sci-Fantasy RPG setting, and so have been reviewing my choices for a good system that can handle what I need it to do. My initial plan is to make use of a modified version of the Star Wars Saga Edition rules; I have pretty much all the books and played the hell out of it for years, so...
-A galaxy-spanning space opera, with treasure hunters and giant robots. -An Old West that is not our own, filled with a mix of fantastic races and ancient technologies. -A world of super-powered heroes and villains facing off in a world ruled by the offended with social media accounts. -The hills of Eastern Kentucky, but filled with horrors beyond imagining. -A post-apocalyptic land with mutants...
