'Qui: The Fall of Ottawa' Part 2, Chapter 19

Qui gestured at the chair opposite his desk. "Sit. We have a few things to go over before your shift begins. I'm not sure if I'll be available later tonight."

Sam's smile faltered for a moment, but she managed to keep a tight grip on her enthusiasm. "Called away? It's not because of that phone call I got, is it? Am I in danger?"

"Not at the moment," he said. "I'd tread lightly for a few nights, either way. There's quite a bit I need to teach you, but Cranston believes we're spendi...

Oops! An amusing update to the Werewolves 4 demo!

So, it turns out that when you're writing a story about werewolves and they need to have their wounded pack members transported by hand, it's best to use the word 'stretcher' for the device used to move them.

Not 'litter.'

Because otherwise, you get sentences like this:

"Onyx hefts Sonoma's litter."

Anna says: "We can make some litters!" (to a werewolf.)

Not awkward at all! Since I was a kid I always used the word 'litter' as a stretcher, but apparently not ever...

The first thing Qui did upon returning to the police station in the evening was to place several phone calls. There were more items on his to-do list than there were hours in the night, but one priority rose above all others–Cranston. Somehow the meddlesome commissioner had learned about his indiscretions with Sam, and he had no idea how much she was aware of. He'd managed to cover his...

Werewolves character sheets: Dena and Williams

I've had a lot of requests here and on places like the official Choice of Games Reddit asking for descriptions of my characters for things like fan art or even just to get a good idea of them while reading.

I'm typically a bit light on details when describing characters because I want readers to be able to imagine them how they want to, but the following are the basics of what has been described in the games as well as a few bits and bobs from my notes!

I'll put more of these toge...

Parliament of Knives: 'What Stares Back' fan art spotlight

I saw this piece on Reddit a little while back and absolutely loved it. It depicts the artist's main character and their Malkavian hallucinatory companion.

My favourite part of this piece is the attention to detail--if you've played the Malkavian portion of the 'What Stares Back' DLC, you'll know it well. The shadowy bars, the halo of light, darkness gradually descending... I just love it! Sorry for gushing!
