Dust Collector by Emilie & A New Blog Begins

Dust Collector by Emmy

We recently received a wonderful note from one of our readers who have not only introduced the insidious white powder into their home game, they've adopted one of our stranger monsters as a recurring villain. We both really love this new interpretation of a creature we thought was all but forgotten. Maybe we can collaborate with them on a few other monsters and things...

I've been using your Dust Collector for a few months in my D&D game as a kind of amoral, exterior figure to the sorcerous politics my players are immersed in. I did a drawing of one and I thought I might as well send it along to you.

The party have been caught up in a plot to use the white powder to assassinate their master's rival which has gone Very Badly and now she's synthesising it and dealing it to their community. The Dust Collector seems to have an interest in the stuff so they keep running into it. This one wears a veil over its vestigial head organ, I wish you could have seen the party's reaction when it pulled the veil back and rattled its 'head' at them like a snake.

Regards,
Emilie

You can find a larger version of Emilie's Dust Collector at the newly inaugurated Sarcophagi of the Ash People blog. We're looking forward to more session recaps from Shailanu and A Billion Stars Underground!

Roll Call of Blogs

Charles Akins over at the Dyvers blog has painstakingly compiled and personally annotated a massive Roll Call of blogs that focus on table-top RPGs, both OSR and otherwise. The list has well over 200 entries and is continually getting updated as more people find out about it.

He has given every entry a capsule review or quick summary, so you can get some idea of what the blog is like and how often it gets updated. That's some very handy information...and a lot of work. Here's what he had to say about our blog:

"A husband and wife team runs this blog that focuses on a really wild home brewed world. There's something in this blog for most everyone, you just have to look. Updates: Daily."

Thanks to Charles for compiling this monster list of gaming blogs!

We've already discovered a few really interesting blogs that we'd never heard about before. Very cool.

Mucoids Spotted at Swords & Stitchery...

Needles has expanded on the Mucoids quite a bit as part of his current Stars Without Numbers campaign. There's a Mucoid Confederacy out there in the Talon Sector and you can read all about it HERE. We're wondering just how close Talon Sector is to Lithus Sector now...this Mucoid Confederacy would be right at home on Lithus Prime...
