  • Before the Darkness – The Detective Part 2 of 3

    “Did you ever love anybody?” Lucille asked Sandra.  “I loved my son,” Sandra answered. “I still love him, but does it even count now if he ain’t in the world?” “If you feel it, then it counts.” “Maybe, but I can’t see him know I love him. I can’t be warmed by the fact that…

  • The Trials of Daedalus 5. Metion Says Proudly 

    His mother is furious. She paces around the front porch, glancing at her watch every few minutes, then glaring out at the street where cars she doesn’t care about pass by at a reasonable speed considering the residential neighborhood and the scattering of children still out in the warm, humid summer night. Most of the…

  • Issue 5, Vol. 3 – July 22, 2023

    The epic campaign rolls on as Ariel arrives on Endla and learns about her Pristine Black mmoatia roots, Zazel squares off against her mmoatia mother, Tracia, and Pultine suffers a rare defeat at the hands of Seraphiel in the distant past. This issue is even more exciting because as our characters continue in the campaign,…

  • Before the Darkness – The Detective Part 1 of 3

    When she moved to Ellerson, NC after her second retirement from the Knoxville Tennessee Police Department, Sandra was hesitant. She had history with the town, though she’d never spent substantial time there. She had followed the news of the town’s development over decades and like most people around the world, she was curious to see…

  • The Trials of Daedalus 4. Knock Out 

    Before he leaves the prison library, Dae has completed the work that Carlos had interrupted. The portrait that Carlos had drawn is spread out and weighed down by books at the top and bottom.  There is also a book open, a book of works by Pecou, and a black man with his face down, no…

  • Issue 4, Vol. 3 – July 15, 2023

    It really is a hot one this summer. Good thing you’ve got the PRL to help you beat the heat! Our epic RPG rolls on (you see what I did there?), as the characters complete their moves. We are almost at the halfway point of our epic campaign, and there are some exciting things on…

  • Before the Darkness – The Old Woman Part 3 of 3

    “You could live forever,” Fo said to the old woman. “Your daughter, too. Ms. Vita could live long enough to run Druont. She got the disposition for it.” “She ain’t taking my grandkids to outer space.” Fo and Mog both chucked. They sat at the woman’s feet on her porch where she rocked slowly and…

  • The Trials of Daedalus 3. Purpose 

     “The devil planted fear inside the black baby,” the man with the rhythmic voice says confidently. “Fifty cent sodas in the hood, they going crazy,” Metion says and a few others join him to finish the Ghostface lyric. “Dead meat placed on the shelves, we eat cold cuts, fast from the hog y’all and grow…

  • Issue 3, Vol. 3 – June 30, 2023

    One of my favorite drinking games is quarters. I’m not great at it, but I love practicing. It reminds me of the types of games I enjoyed as a kid, like pogs or marbles and jacks, the very old school version of pogs. I also had a college roommate who was pretty good and we…

  • Before the Darkness – The Old Woman Part 2 of 3

    “Mama, don’t believe a word that woman say,” Vita said. It was the evening after Lynnette visited the old woman on her porch, and the old woman sat in the same chair as the sun was setting. “She ain’t never did nothing to deserve trust,” the old woman said, “but I believe her.” Vita looked…
