Spirits of Eden Spring Playtest Game Invitation
I think this is ahead enough in time that I can give myself time to organize it well. I have to do some journalistic work during spring break as well as studying hard for Economics (if I don’t I fail, I have 2 exams to go, the class drops the lowest grade, but my first…

Why Touhou Is My Kind of D&D
This post isn’t very comprehensive, I just hope you’ll be inspired to see beyond your hatred for anime (though this isn’t really anime, it’s a video game…which may be worse for you) and find something that might perhaps be a bit interesting.

A Round of Applause: Joining the RPG Blogger’s Network Story
The story of how I got into the RPG Blogger’s Network is a rather funny one. I actually discovered the network one day through the Musings of the Chatty DM blog. A year ago on my first blog I had written a tongue-in-cheek post about how I despised major cons, especially gencon, because they were…

Hymn Collections for the Week of 10/17: New Layout and Midterm Update
Sorry for being late on it, but I had midterms and essays and things galore! But my workload has been considerably lightened now that most of the work is, well, done. Also, this is the first instance in which I can ask you to behold the new layout! I was at first wary of two-column…

Monsters of Eden: Earthbound Spirits of Forests and Rural Wilds
The rural wilds of Eden hold many spirits, some of which are almost exclusive to this habitat. Adel is mostly a rural continent, with some large urban centers and some more modest cities, but those are far from the norm. The following are Spirits of the forests, villages, fields and farms, of the mountains and…
