Snake Hands Slither Explosively Fast

Paper Cuts - June 22, 2024 04:00 - 1 hour
To be honest, as much as Murder Madness here dragged its feet in getting to the point, I really enjoyed the story as a whole! It's a bit formulaic from a modern perspective, but what isn't in our usual milleu around here, you know? That's kinda a function of the public domain stories we read aro...

Cubes of Flame, Gnomes of Tongue

Paper Cuts - June 15, 2024 16:00 - 52 minutes
What do you think is the deal with these Gnomes? I mean, it's not really unpacked in the story very far, but it's kinda gently implied there's a sort of queen-and-workers sort of vibe going on. Sure, it's probably just there to give Sarka a target for this whole superiority schtick, but I'm the ...
