    Rise of the Phoenix King (Shadowrun/Exalted)

    It depends on how you look at hardened milspec armor. The game stats (as I've looked at them in 5e) don't make them seem like traditional conceptions of power armor, but they're still pretty beefy. That said, yes. While, admittedly, Feuerschwinge is a little jumpy due to having been...

    The time had finally come. Hestaby had been considerate enough to set up the meeting for a weekend so Theo wouldn't have to worry about missing his classes. I hadn't been paying a lot of attention to anything he'd been doing in Boston, although I'd noticed him spending a lot more than I would...

    Okay, time to process. Lofwyr's presence recontextualized everything. I'd thought Sunshine's deception had been some kind of moral lesson so I'd assumed Hestaby had been behind it all. But what did Lofwyr want out of this? No, wrong question. What would Lofwyr have expected to happen...

    It was a shame Urubia had chosen to leave Redmond when she did. It would have been nice to have her on board when we were still establishing our control over the region. Not that we hadn't tried to get in contact with her, but she'd ignored us. No one knew just why she'd left Redmond, but...

    Thank you so much. This work is near and dear to my heart, but I've needed some rest lately. That said I'm very nearly ready to get back to work.

    AN: Work has been getting rough again and I've been suffering writers block. I may be taking a break of a week or so, unless my muse decides to strike me with lightning as she sometimes does. A quick casting of Clairvoyance and Clairaudience let me see what was going on. With Jeremy...

    AN: As I've said in the past, my knowledge of Earthdawn is extremely limited, so I'm taking what I know and not worrying about the rest. In retrospect, it shouldn't have come as a surprise that Hestaby had not meant she wanted to see us immediately. Dragons, especially Great Dragons...

    "Begin!" I commanded. After talking to Isis I'd decided to take a more active role in Jeremy's training, both in martial arts and in the Code of Bushido. I hadn't been quite sure where to do that training, but then I'd had a bit of a mischievous thought. So here we were, in the Bellevue...

    Theo took a moment to compose himself. "I...was given to understand that the Second World was spared from the Horrors entirely by one of my kind," The Dragons all writhed in their chairs, "And may I ask who told you that?" Hestaby asked. "I told him," Isis said, lying for us. Lofwyr...

    So, Theo and I had been part of a deeper conspiracy all along without even knowing it, but we didn't have time to care with Great Dragons and Gods on their way. Instead, we launched into a sales pitch for why Robin's team should be part of this discussion, doubling as a briefing for what it...

    The Rise of a Necromancer (Tell me what you think!)

    That's too bad, I was looking forward to reading it chapter by chapter, but that's totally your call. Also, I just remembered one of the games I used to play for improving my writing. I made the words "was" and "is" completely off-limits for a while, not because they are inherently bad to use...

    The Rise of a Necromancer (Tell me what you think!)

    I do love me some necromancer action, and since you've asked for comments here goes. 1) As others have said, the indentation is really hurting you. Making everything in italics on top of that makes it physically hard to read. I'd go so far as to say you should do some edits for new readers...

    Rise of the Phoenix King (Shadowrun/Exalted)

    One of the things I'm struggling with is how to actually include everything I want to include. I do have answers to pretty much all of those, but a lot of them don't interface directly with the main plot. At least not to any significant degree. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to try...

    Rise of the Phoenix King (Shadowrun/Exalted)

    I appreciate it. I know the demons of Malfeas are the more likely suspects to be the Horrors, but every description I read of them sounded more like the nastier end of Raksha to me, and I've always preferred the interpretation that demons are more alien than malevolent, at least at the lower...

    About five minutes later I found myself in front of Squatter's Mall's main freight elevator. Theo had sent out a text message to me and Robin's team to meet him there as soon as possible. So, while it was no surprise to find Theo there waiting, I hadn't been prepared to see Masaru...

    I'd brought Mary to her new house in Everette while Theo got in some last minute preparations for some Squatter's Mall project he wanted to surprise me with. He had to be in Boston by tomorrow morning, but with his ability to travel via manasphere that wasn't any kind of a problem as long as he...

    Even with everything going on I was still a little miffed at not getting the Beach Episode I wanted. Theo managed to convince the bartender to check into his wife's whereabouts to see if she'd been mind-whammied or if the person we'd seen earlier was some kind of imposter. Meanwhile, he sent...

    AN: So...the official shadowrun timeline is not in effect. It's not that I ran into specific problems with fitting this story into it, rather I'm just too lazy to let myself be bossed around by a canon timeline. That said, most things that are supposed to happen will still happen, it's just...

    We stayed in that cot for several hours, but eventually, physical proximity did its work to penetrate the haze of pain and grief. I could feel it building up in him. The need. The hunger. I would have gone for it right then and there, but Julia's advice echoed in my mind. She'd been wrong...
