Happy Monday, family! In honor of Cam's birthday today, we thought everyone should get a present. After all, it wouldn't be fair not to share. Please enjoy Cam's "Women are the Path, the Portal, and the Light" design from BMAC as a wallpaper for the device of your choice.
There's a vertical version (for phones and some tablets) and a horizontal version (for computers and some tablets). Both versions are quite large and should be workable for you. You just need to use the &nb...

Good morning, family. We thought we'd treat you to some nice wallpapers with the new Witch Queen art by Anna Landin (follow her on Twitter @annalandin). Most of you have already seen the link, but if you haven't, you can find items with Anna's taken on the WQ over on the merch store.

Frank Tilley was not a nice man, nor one beloved by his community. He may even have been a pain in Sheriff Andy Hodge's buttocks. But no man deserved to die like that.

Afternoon, Family. Today we're going to try something a bit different with our digital wallpapers. I'm uploading a vertical version (for phones and some tablets) and a horizontal version (for computers and some tablets). Both versions are quite large and should be workable for you. You just need to use the "move and scale" feature on the device of your choice to size them to fit.
Anyway, I'm thinking this is one a lot of y'all are going to appreciate.

CW: Frank and intimate out of character discussion about the pandemic, death and suicide. In character mentions of child labor, child and parental death and disfigurement.
There is a darkness that can only truly fall in the deep woods. An enveloping shadow of some great beast that is at the same time soothing and terrifying and can only exist in the absence of electric light and full moons. The hours that pass beneath this hallowed veil are usually best spent sleeping so that you ...

The ties that bind us to this world are usually fragile things, gossamer strands spun on the looms of great, great grandmamas that we will never meet until our thread is snipped clean. Cowboy held no such ties. These were no mere threads binding this precious boy together, but heavy chains forged from the stygian soil of death itself and tempered in the cold river of eternity.

I hope y'all are getting exciting about the live storytelling event this weekend on Discord! We're really excited to bring you a new story set in the world of Old Gods of Appalachia (which, again, is not part of Season 2's storyline — it's a standalone, so you can listen without fear of spoilers).
That said, I've noticed that we have quite a few new family members at the Blood Kin tier or above who haven't connected to our Discord server through Patreon (if you follow the inst...

She recognized the naked fear and rawness in their respective gazes. Something had happened to these boys. She could see their hearts and minds were pink and pricking red at the edges where their innocence had been torn away with such force they'd not even had a chance to bleed yet.

The county had taken a narrow little valley and dug themselves a reservoir to provide drinking water for the whole town and then some. As pretty as the lake and the surrounding woods were, it was still something wedged into nature by the hands of men — water stolen from rivers and collected here like a dragon’s hoard, grounds that had lain untouched for centuries carved up and reshaped to serve human desires, seals broken and reset — all to meet the needs of the encroaching horde of tow...

I'm three days behind on these posts, and this prompt is the reason. COVID has taken so much from us, even those who have been lucky enough not to have lost loved ones (so far, knock on wood). Live music is, for me, the one that hurts the most.
My favorite live venues are closed, and some of them will never return. I don't really have the heart to talk about that. So instead here's some video from the last show I went to before quarantine: my friend's band Halo Scars playing at O'Mainni...

Y'all Met Jacob Moore when he voiced poor old Daniel Boggs in Build Mama a Coffin. Jake's also an amazing singer songwriter who is working on a lot of cool stuff for Season 2 and beyond. This is a track he wrote for the show--something you might hear in a certain church camp, revival or ...compound. This is just one mix and one take on a song called Oyster and Mold. ...
