Certified Gold: On the Air
Ricky's been having an eventful semester. His roommate is a Satyr whose polycule vacillates between constantly propositioning Ricky and eating all his snacks. The Sidhe noble in Ricky's accounting class has been tormenting him nonstop, threatening to turn him into a set of matched luggage. And the human girl at the library front desk has been hunting him on another playing field altogether! All he wants to do is listen to music and be left alone - and maybe get a job working behind the scenes at the college radio station.Ricky had hoped he could just have a normal life, but Fate had other plans. One night, he ends up behind the Allora University Radio's microphone instead of the soundboard. What began as a one-time event becomes a viral sensation. Things get even worse when he accidentally insults the father of a Sidhe noble on the air - the same noble who's been making his life miserable all semester. Now, all eyes are on him, and not in a good way. What's a young Dragon King to do?
The Kingdoms Saga
Equal parts epistolary memoir, roleplaying game system, and fantasy epic, The Kingdoms Saga covers ten years of collaborative storytelling. Through forum posts, visual art, musical composition, and roleplaying games, explore the world (worlds?) of the Kingdoms, as young ranger Lunyk fights to stop his brother from summoning a banished god; as beastfolk farmer-turned-priest Panzer and his allies strive to uncover the mysteries of a being known as the Shadows; as noble thief Shona struggles with his role in leading the Stormdragon family syndicate in the fight against a timeline-eating monster; and as a group of ambitious young writers learn how to tell a story that matters.
