Welcome to another Cat's Cradle!
This week, we talk about a kind of nebulous concept - templating game rules. Whoa!

You can find Dillon on Twitter or at Tales from the Tab…
History is a tale told backwards. To learn history, then, is to know the end ahead of time. It's reading the last page of a book first, finding the problem from the solution, asking the question from…
Knowing one's history is the right of all peoples. Many have had their history stolen or obfuscated from them, others have lost it. But for those who have found, uncovered, or reclaimed it, what then…

As you know well by now, a hundred years ago the Cloudcomb mountains melted, flooding the interior of the continent with mud, clay and stone, nearly wiping out humanity.
Life, though, is ever-resilie…
Amylte is not a world where the past sleeps soundly, never to wake again. An industrial accident in Stageport can carry its smoke and terror a century into the future. A carefully plotted ambush mean…
The horror lets out a roar of challenge, stepping forward with such force and fury that it splinters the surface of the sea ice beneath it.
Behind it, the Swarm presses forward, roused by the spin of …
Last night, under the aegis of the Temple of Gaius Gray, the crew of the Westbreaker joined the remnants of the Glacier Legion, shared a meal and an uneasy rest.
Outside the sacred labyrinth, night fe…
Miracles come in all shapes and sizes. From the tiny crusader able to single-handedly protect a handful of comrades from death in the Swarm for five years, to yesterday, when the ironclad hull of the…
In Old Rhimehopld he was called Good Father Gaius, the noble marble pillar sleeping in the labyrinth. They built their own maze-temples in their own cities so they could pray to a god who had always …
A thousand years ago there was a terrible war in Rhimehold, which was then called something quite different. And there was one nine hundred and fifty years ago, and another eight hundred ninety years…
Five years ago, the immovable Glacier Legion was shattered at the port of Naca. Some of the survivors fled down the coast.
