Morning everyone. I live in Washington state. In the same county where the first COVID-19 case was discovered officially. I'm back to work now after three months of being furloughed. I've had to change a majority of my life because of the virus, even though I don't personally know anyone who has had it. Thank … Continue reading Facemasks, freedom, and morality

Nessa lay down on the grassy hillside, letting the sound of the waves below her echo in her ears. She liked Saltmarsh so far. The people were so friendly! Her room at The Wicker Goat wasn’t big, but it was clean. She made sure to make the bed every morning, too. Not that sleeping outside, … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Shore Leave – Episode 4 – Serena

Nessa skipped down the road, an empty basket in hand. She’d found a job yesterday, running errands for Councilman Gellan. He was a kind man, older than her own grandsire, and certainly didn’t object to paying her well to do small things. This morning, it was a trip to the baker. Gellan was hosting several … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Shore Leave – Episode 3 – Varas

She sniffed the air, pausing. That was strange. It didn’t smell right. It was salty, and sorta like fish. And not good fish like you’d get for dinner. This was raw, or rotten, or both. It was also new, different. Nessa adjusted the pack on her back, smiling at the birds that flew overhead. They … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Shore Leave – Episode 2 – Nessa

Our new game won't start until June 27th, but I wanted to start introducing the cast to you all!  A hand slapped the side of the wagon, jolting Manak awake. “We’re here,” the driver growled. “Get out.” Carefully, he scooted toward the end of the cart. He’d broken a crate climbing in, and he'd depleted … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Shore Leave – Episode 1 – Manak

Let's get something straight. Black lives matter. My life hasn't always been great. I can tell stories that'll make many of you cringe. But I am white. I grew up related to half a county sheriff's department (through blood, friendship, or marriage). I have privilege that thousands in this country do not. Simply because the … Continue reading To remain silent is to be complicit

The music followed Thia out to the balcony. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to celebrate Pan’s wedding to Eli. For now, though, everything overwhelmed her. All she wanted to do was breathe some of the cool night air and calm her mind. “So, Thia,” Jinnaari said from behind her, “how are things with you?” … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 89 – Forever Family

“Let’s go,” Pan insisted. “We did what we came to do, Jinnaari!” The paladin shook his head. “Not yet. We have to go back for the Gnome. I’m not leaving her here.” Without waiting to see who followed, he headed out of the room. Halaster’s body, the robe he wore still smoldering, lay abandoned on … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 88 – Out of the frying pan

Morning everyone! If you've ever played D&D, you know that there comes a time to retire the characters you've been playing. It could be due to death of the character, wanting to rebuild it because he/she doesn't fit well in the adventure/play well with the rest of the group, the end of the adventure arc, … Continue reading Getting ready to move on

Jinnaari stopped short, waiting for Helix to turn around. He’d gotten so used to the Tabaxi just materializing that it didn’t startle him any longer. “Helix,” he said, “what’s up?” The Tabaxi smiled. “I’ve been doing other things. Earning my keep within your Court, as it were.” He held out a sealed parchment to Jinnaari. … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 87 – Exoneration
