  • In Which I Gesticulate Wildly At You For A Variety Of Reasons

    Why yes, it is time for one of those shotgun-blast slapdash news-updates.

  • Munchings & Crunchings: Dust & Grim, Black Cauldron, And Other Grunted News Utterances

    HELLO FRANDOS. Want some naturally Wendig-scented updates? Organic? Free-range? Bespoke and artisanal? Here goes. For My Birthday I Demand Proper Paeans In The Form Of Preorders So we’re clear, I don’t actually demand anything from you for my birthday (*stares uncomfortably*), but were you so inclined, I might suggest that for my birthday, you treat […]
