I, Master. A Harrowing collection of Tales born of Experience in the Roleplaying Genre. This isn't a book or a novel as much as it isn't a manual guide on how to become a perfect roleplayer. This is a collection of events that happened to me, real and raw, throughout my Roleplaying Career.The good and the bad are bundled together, giving a semi-coherent form to many of them, and then renouncing the coherence to just formulate more on what happened, why it happened, and for what dreadful reason I allowed it to keep on happening until I wisened up.We have tales that range from the tragic to the comic and sometimes hang around the fine line between the two. We have obvious suggestions, and we also have unorthodox ones. It's a fun, light read. Nothing's as bad as it seems, but nothing's as good as it should be either.Ain't that life, in the end?

The eagerly awaited sequel to the The Investigator and the Case of the Missing Brain, The Investigator and the Fury of the Fog, has finally arrived.A Breach, an event whispered fearfully by the reckless few. An act by which the Investigator may break free of Cloatos, to rampage upon the world. The prisoner of Cloatos and at the same time its Investigator, having finally broken free from the confines of the Gates. Such an event is impossible, unacceptable, and any hint of it must be silenced, or drowned in the fiery flames of the Burning Council's agents.The steaming city of Osyr where the industry forges its weapons against the enemy in the war of kings has a problem. It is not the tentacles that drag countless people into the hungry maws of the Kraken by their docks. It is not the shrieking of the Mangulls, or the Lost souls that cry out in its darkest corners. The rumors that spread through the city are the problem, and those that point to a potential Breach are worrisome to the extreme. Yet the haunting memories of the Investigator are far more real than others might think, at least for Lyara de la Malinne, Investigator for the Burning Council who has to contend with a shadow of the monster of Cloatos itself. Her worst nightmare given form, and yet also her best bet in reaching the end of a seemingly meaningless hunt through the districts of Osyr, all to safeguard the city from the fires of the Burning Council. There is only one problem in playing the game by the Investigator's rules.The Investigator always lies, yet, perhaps, there is an even greater threat at hand......the risk of believing in his innocence.

Magical Girls meet Mad Scientists, Eldritch Gods, and then try to save the day.But what happens when this repeats itself for years without an end in sight? Well, the world adjusts. In the city of Markha, ex magical girl turned Police Detective Berrill Straw and her colleague Daniel are charged with investigating the grisly murder of a retired magical girl under protection. In a world where the evil eldritch god of the week bakes cookies in his off times, cultists pray every week at church, and ever-youthful magical girls sell merchandise to keep themselves afloat after decades on the job, the villain of the week is ever-changing. Yet everyone has skeletons in their closets. Except for Daniel, because he's clearly just a normal human.

In a galaxy where fabricators are common, where death is a myth, and in which countless space-faring aliens have met and joined together... Anastasia's father dies, and her strange uncle comes pick her up the next morning. He is Captain Francis Drake, of the Sinful Way, leader of a merry crew of aliens who travel the far reaches of space and risk their lives, their limbs, and their free will...in order to be the garbage collectors the universe needs. When technological singularities are so common they don't even make the news, and all civilizations are technologically advanced, what one defines as 'Garbage' radically shifts into dangerous territory. Still, it's not like Anastasia's worried too much. She can always go back home when she's tired of seeing the universe, no?
