Pitch-a-week Part 20: Three Kings, Both Great and High
An aside: I’ve had a fundamental problem with vampires and vampire fiction for quite some time. There are elements of the genre that appeal greatly to me… I like the feel of the Other, I like the opportunity to add some degree of dusty, moss-encrusted antiquity to the modern day and I like the feel of nature-red-in-tooth-and-claw that’s inherent in ( Read more... ) -

“Where’s your daddy, Young Shuck?”
Walker sat, caked with grave-dust and tall in the saddle. A pair of hellhounds paced in front of him, yawning and cracking their jaws as they stared Shuck down.

Pitch-a-Week Part 19: The Countdown
This one would've killed six years ago. As it is... it's a bit late to the millennial superhero party.
The Countdown
High Concept: “Heroes” on a timeline… and much, much bigger.
Genre: Millennial neo-superheroism
( The rise of the Fifth World did not happen on schedule, but it did happen according to plan. ) -
Rag and Bone followup: Make Him Talk, Part 2

Pitch-a-Week #18: Chattox Academy
This posted on Pitch-A-Week a few weeks ago. Thus, I mirror by hand.
It goes without saying that this rides princeofcairo's jock so very, very hard I should send him a truss.

Pitch-a-Week Germination Part 1: Bad Beat
Talking with c3fyn, I was inspired to do a little more with my pitches than just toss them out and hope for fertile ground.
Decided to start with Slow Boat to Fast City, because I love that setting so very, very much and I wanted to write something with regret and brutality in it.
( And, so, here we go. ) -
Pitch-a-Week, part 17: Rag and Bone
I sort of dig the latest White Wolf thing, Geist: The Sin-Eater. It's got a good bit of creepiness to it, it's a little less clunky than Wraith and, well, ghosts. What's not to like ( Read more... ) -
Pitch-a-Week: al-Kitab
This flies a little bit higher and wilder than some things I've put out there. Still, could be an interesting scrim for a Nobilis game or a high-kicking Savage Worlds thing.
As always, my use of other languages is not based on accuracy as much as general magpie shininess. So shiny, Arabic names for Allah.
So shiny.
