The Strange and Bizarre

Here we have a short chapter poking at some of the weirder parts of the canon: the True Black Hand, the Inconnu, constructs, and Caitiff “spontaneous magic.” Most of my comments to Ree were suggestions to dig deeper into some of these topics and pull out a few more rituals. As a note, in the … Read more

Sorcery and Necromancy

Picking up momentum, here’s Chapter Four, covering the blood magic of the Assamites and the Setites, as well as the various takes on Necromancy of the Giovanni (as well as minor nods to other Necromancers). Matthew turned in a fairly clean draft, although I was more diligent on cleaning up his British English this time … Read more

Punks and New Agers and Hacktavists

A few quick notes: I want to remind folks reviewing these drafts that these are very early drafts — not only do I generally expect moderate-to-heavy rewrites of entire sections at this stage, but also these chapters are reviewed a number of times … Read more

But … Read more

GenCon! Eardrums! Blogging!

Meeting Notes Rich tells me about his flight back from GenCon, and about the new show “Copper.” (Not great, but not bad, he says.) I was too exhausted yesterday, so I just watched a few episodes of the 90s X-Men cartoon. He also tells me about his favorite fantasy book, “The Mirror of Her Dreams.” … Read more
