Hi everyone!
As is my annual custom I'll be taking a break for the month of December and possibly January. For this reason I've paused billing.
Due to some issues I've been having with Patreon I've put up notices about this on the Disc...

A week after the model town showing, Hetcha and Mira were ready to leave. I made a point of kitting them out with a limited set of reasonable quality gear on the horses I provided. They'd both looked at the good stuff with apprehension....

With a technically new and exciting issue on my hands, I started looking up information after awkwardly excusing myself from the future halfling settlement. There was an absolute brick of data on the subject of demons, but it was all th...

The valley, which I needed to name, looked like it was holding an undead festival. Mira, Hetcha, and Mina were all topside exploring the small main street I'd set up during the week since I'd revealed the skeletons to them. There were t...

Two days after I'd handled the deals and class resets, I was outside Andrea's room in the hallway. I had her permission, but it took me a few moments to go inside. I'd made it in a hurry when I separated the girls a few days earlier. It...

Chris was high, and Not just a little. Given his lack of soft tissues to inebriate, I wished that was the weird part.
For want of a better description, Chris was sparkling, giving off light like a magical girl anime protagonist. O...

After the pledges, weddings, and contests, the eating and drinking started properly. For the last hours of daylight, the games also continued with renewed fervor from the children. Bess joined in this time, with Tiller and Elim followin...

A village fete was both familiar and alien to Tiller. She’d seen plenty of them in various places, but she’d always been passing through. Being present for the entirety of one was surreal.
That Tiller was spending a fair part ...

Though I’d been in the lava area for a good while I still felt reluctant about leaving. I didn’t have a reason to remain holed up in the hounds' den though. Aside from puppy snuggles anyway. An entirely valid reason to hang out duri...

Chris didn’t have much of a memory of when he was alive. At least not a particularly coherent one. Things would come and go in flashes of a variety of senses he didn’t exactly have anymore. Taste and smell for instance were gone. To...

While occupied by the issue with the hounds 42 hadn’t exactly neglected the dungeon, but she had gotten behind on certain chores. Something she found herself unconcerned by, largely because she’d set the schedule for them herself. T...

It took two more days of buying lava tiles to get Blackmore back to normal. Still, I spent the full week adding on. I wanted to be ready for when the puppies eventually appeared. Given what had happened to Blackmore herself I was worrie...

I didn’t know exactly what to expect when I went to visit the hounds. I thought something along the lines of grumpy pups and possibly having to bribe them with treats. I was not expecting to find Stalin...

I looked at the contract, one of three, and sighed. When Andrea had dropped her bomb at the feast a few days prior I’d expected to lose out on any chance with the other three. I was glad that hadn’t come to pass but had a...

After staring at the communication stone for a moment I picked it up. It was a small glossy black stone with a communication glyph on it. Feather-light normally but just then it felt heavy.
“Mistress 42,” Mira said politely.

Went through and paused the may billing cycle. Still not feeling up to writing but better than I did. I'll let you guys know if anything changes.
Thank you,
