Very sinister location. Giving players the top part can just get you wondering what the hell is going on there. I almost didn't want to read the rest because I sort of enjoyed the suspense of not knowing what it is. I very much liked the creature and it didn't leave any questions on what was going on. Beautifully descriptive and I wish I had a game to use it in! Go to Comment

Very nice, very nice. As a huge fan of Bas-Lag and anything that does a Picasso on typical fantasy, Locastus really speaks to me, and this submission is no exception. Go to Comment

I can not believe I missed this one. Well now that that oversight has been corrected (and voted upon), I must say I do like the way this submission came out.

Factories with bound demons/ spirits magi-punk at its finest. And dark magi-punk at that. Go to Comment

An industrial revolution gone wrong! This mechanical horror does a terrific job when it comes to revealing the heavy price that rapid industrialization carries. Great work! Go to Comment

I'm pleased that I could help. Will you do an entry on the Bllod Shylocks? 5/5 Go to Comment

Is this a Wal-Mart parody?

I like the vivid description, I can almost hear the pumping steam in the pipes. Go to Comment

Very nicely set up and execution. The concept and the description merge together perfectly. I like it, I like it a lot. Go to Comment

Industrial, oppressive, soul-eating... What else could one ask for? Go to Comment

Another fascinating piece. I can only echo what others have already said. Great one, David! Go to Comment

Excellent - well described and paints a vivid picture indeed! Go to Comment

Great work, Ouroboros, this is a truly dark piece that really reveals the spirt of the Witherdowns. You set up the mood perfectly, then reveal the gruesome truth. Awesome. Go to Comment

I believe you could use this (with some minor adjustments) in RPGs like Shadowrun or CoC. That would probably be pretty cool. Go to Comment

Hi Cheka! Yep, Blood Shylocks and organ traders are coming up. That´ll be truly bleak...:-) Go to Comment

This is freaking awesome. I love it. It feels like a mix of the Mortuary in Planescape, the steampunk-ish feel of China Mieville's books, and a certain eerie, creepily morbid touch special to it. The visual image of it hanging on the skyline like a diseased, rotting tree stump is arresting, and the way the interior is described gives a good feel for it.

The aspects of how the Caretakers feel soiled, and some strive to absolve themselves somehow, gives it a more real feeling, as well, with ordinary folks trying not to let their job get to them... Go to Comment

Yet another good submission. There must be a way of cleaning any soul vestiages from the body before reanimating it. Go to Comment

Ah, the latest addition in an expanding setting! A great one as well, I should mention that I will GM a session in the Locastus setting tomorrow and the tower will be one of the locastions featured. This write has what I expected of it when I read the headline. But I feel that it is missing something, that little extra. Hmmm(need to think about that), but still- a great submission that recives a high score from me. Go to Comment

A zombie factory chock full of lovely detail! I like the bit about the Caretakers feeling "soiled" and seeking to be absolved. Also like the Body Praxis detail. You know, I kinda agree with Mike. There is something "sexy" missing, but I dont know what it may be.

Anyway, Locastus grows, and I rejoice. Go to Comment

An excellent place. Question - is there any of the original person's soul/spirit remaining within the husk of a Deader? Go to Comment
