In this episode of Red Crag, Tamsin learns an unwelcome truth about her brother Coryn. Did he conspire to kill Gilli?

This ongoing fantasy serial is based on my Ironsworn solo RPG campaign.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's blowing up the economy. He hasn't done squat to help the working class. The Epstein scandal haunts him.

He is a weak and failing president with his back against the wall.

Keep up the pressure.

It’s kind of tense, but I really enjoyed writing this episode of Red Crag. Guilt, blame, grief, shame and fury! What’s not to love?

Finding Dee Fish @findingdeefish.bsky.social · Aug 6
Heidi was clever in her kitty ambush. She knew that my resolve would VANISH once exposed to the cuteness. AAAAND she was soooo right. lol
Finding Dee – Negotiation Panel 1: Two adorable gray kittens sit side by side, looking innocent. Panel 2: Heidi is smiling and gesturing while speaking. She stands beside Dee sitting in a chair with crossed arms, looking skeptical. The two black kittens are near their feet. Heidi says, “Okay, so I know you have a lot of really good reasons why we can’t keep the cats, but hear me out.” Panel 3: Heidi, animatedly explaining, says, “First off, they were just abandoned in the parking lot of the supermarket, so I couldn’t just leave them.” Panel 4: Heidi holds up their poodle, Poe, like a baby while speaking with a hopeful smile. Poe looks irritated. She says, “So, we can still rehome them. Buuuut… look, Poe isn’t nearly as crazy as when he was a puppy and they’re getting along.” Panel 5: Heidi tucks the irritated dog under her arm and continues, “And we’re in a much bigger house, and Rick is here to help take care of them now, and I think it will be different this time.” She asks, “What do you think?” Panel 6:Dee, with the cats all over her, now hugs both kittens happily with hearts around their head and exclaims, “MINE!” Heidi, clapping with joy, says “YAY!”
