The Gong Scourer’s Baby

July 5, 2021July 5, 2021

I think one of the earliest iterations of the most recently released adventures — The Gong Scourer’s Baby — happened at Conception in 2014 or 2015.

Dee’s Diary (No 1): Simple Goals

April 30, 2021

I think the suspicion, paranoia and intrigue of old have gone. In 1583, court spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham sent an adept gnostic team to Prague on a mission he didn’t commit to public record. These men journeyed through rough and heretic-infested lands engaged in a task of maximum-security in the … Continue ReadingDee’s Diary (No 1): Simple Goals
