It’s November again and that means it’s National Novel Writing Month, where writers attempt to write a 50,000-word novel from November 1st until November 30th. It is safe to say that there is an intersection of storytellers who want to write a novel and those who run games of Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, and other …

A girl is missing. A student has fled from her rooms in the middle of the night after or with a young man. At first this means only—only!—that the Women’s College might be in jeopardy, a serious enough fate to force Vellitt Boe into action. But this is a world scaffolded by Lovecraft, and the …
