Café de Nuit

The Swarm It was fresh. Two days, three? She had been here not long ago, but the forest was large and Aliyah had no knowledge of it. All around her were trees and shrubs, all identical to the point that she felt disoriented. She vomited. Her stomach turned and she couldn't stop the flow of the regu...

The enemy myself It's a story as old as time. A vain woman refuses to accept the passage of time and seeks out mystical means of prolonging her youth. The lengths to which some women will go to turn back time can be quite extreme - bathing in blood, human sacrifice, devouring infant flesh... Joseph...

The Guardian With his martial prowess and nimble hands, Allric Beorhtelsson has defended his community from countless perils over the past decades. Be they merely wandering miscreants and cutthroats looking to prey on the meek locals or, more serious threats such as rampaging werebeasts driven mad ...

It's that time of the year again. I'm back to make sure my beloved thread goes back to its rightful place on the front page of this cursed forum. The Shape of Trauma It was funny, she thought, he had two faces now. And both were getting very red, no doubt he was embarrassed! Even in his old age, fat...

Every year, I revisit my thread to bring it back to life for a short time. Playing the Long Game "I can'na say, sir. Madam opened the letter, she did, an' turned pale as her sheet when she look't'a it. She jus' said 'It is my turn' I think. I be a simple servant girl, sir, I dun'na aboot these ...

The cult leader in that book has potential, I agree, and the ending was certainly very Ito-esque.

There needs to be a hole... made for a specific person...

I've been living in Japan for some years, but until say 5 years ago, I wasn't really serious about learning the language. Double for learning to read. However, after getting into Anki and spaced repetition, my level improved to the point that I could read a bit and started getting into horror manga....

The Insatiable Beauty "What is the meaning of this? You think me a fool? What temerity! You find me greatly offended at being offered such unpalatable refuse. My palate is too delicate, too refined for such mediocrity. But then I should expect no less from an insipid worm such as yourself. Go ...

Taken directly from the pages of Junji Ito... Crossroads Divination "Is our love true?" "It is not. His love was never yours." Dressed in her finest attire, the young woman stood at the crossroads on a foggy night. One could barely see more than a few steps ahead yet she did not ...

I'm with you on this one. A vampire riding atop a tyrannosaurus rex happened and made the Demiplane a better place for it.

The Friendly Giant and crew!

Ack... I've dated myself.

By the way, you're an incredible writer and your hooks are really inspiring.

Well, better late than never! This no prize was starting to get a little cumbersome.

Hard to believe it's been over a year... Guess I should make it a tradition to post once a year, huh? Two sides of the same coin Ignace and Indigo are their names. They are an odd and quite exotic brother and sister pair from a far away land who are rapidly ascending the ranks of polite society in D...

I'll chime in as a long time fan from way back (Red Box baby!). I always had a number of issues with the setting. While teenage me thought it was cool to have players face of with Frankenstein and his monster or Dracula (be it Bram Stoker's vampiric interpretation or the history books' version), my ...

Not only did I do a write-up of Rokushima Taiyoo back in the days, but I tried my hand at Nosos as well! It was silly and full of on-the-nose references to Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and their ilk. Later, I did a small update to my original write-up for this place. I'm was never happy with it,...
