Betting Man 1

Riverside was better by rooftop. Down on the streets, freshmen art school kids were out in force today; they sat on every corner, drawing pads in lap, milled about in the middle of foot and vehicle traffic with their cameras, and chalked their work onto the sidewalks and walls. Some university must have had an initiative planned for the day. It looked annoying, especially for a man as entrancingly photogenic as me, so I'd opted to jump from a raised subway platform directly into someone's roo...

Session Zero 4

I was a husk, a man lost in the desert, neither alive nor dead, heart pumping through willpower and accursed grit alone. How was I alive with so little fluid left in me, was I mummy, a revenant? All I knew was that the witch had desiccated me. Even my brain, so totally drained of all the many life liquids must have been but a walnut now, rattling around a dusty skull.

 "Annie," I croaked to my senior student, "you'll have to continue the school alone. My voice grew weaker. "My…so...

June Interlude Poll

You know the drill by now. Vote for who you'd like to see more of from their perspective. I had trouble narrowing the selection this month (which is why this is a little late), but these were the ones I was most excited to write.

Session Zero Part 3

"That was very kind of you."

Maki was reclining on the long backless lounge when I swaggered back to the living room, dressed in a conservative calf-length skirt and a white long-sleeved blouse with frilly lace cuffs and collar. It was still pleasantly disconcerting to see her so relaxed; I was glad to see the gains from last night weren't temporary. 

"Hm?"

"Giving her that money. You have no shortage of problems that could be helped with money yourself."

 "A...

Interlude 5: The Man With the Metal Hand

His thoughts were being aggressively Italian again, a problem that worsened by the day. He couldn't help it, anytime he started to get dangerously depressed or stressed he'd begin going on mental rants to himself, usually about the standards for food in Ryuukai or the insipid designs currently running rampant in the city. It was better than indulging in thoughts of suicide or engaging with the many semi-legal high-end pharmaceuticals his coworkers favored he supposed, but it didn't speak well...

Announcement of a Slight Delay & Request for Artists with Commissions Open

I was editing Session Zero Part 3 last night and decided it needed an almost total rewrite; the quality wasn't up to snuff. I had a lot of writer's blocks with Part 3 and it showed. As much as it pained me, I had to throw out the almost 8k words written. My usual stance is that it's best to power through weaker sections of writing in order to overcome my drive towards perfectionism, but it wasn't weak, it was boring, and I'd rather be a little late then release something in that state.

Session Zero 2

Maki and Marianne stepped into the room onto the wooden floor that bordered the meditation garden on two sides. There was a sharp difference in their reactions. Both were awed, but Maki was notably more affected, almost stumbling in shock as she entered. Her perceptions must have been grandfathered into the normalizing effects my Deed had on the Base, because Marianne, while equally as surprised as the...

Session Zero

The problem with reflexes was that by definition they happened before conscious thought. I was moving by the time my brain acknowledged that I was awake, at the door to my bedroom by the time I realized the noises I’d heard hadn’t been from fighting, and out in the living room by the time I remembered that I was buck naked apart from the bandages on my chest.

 I skidded to a halt in front of four familiar women, dick swinging in the breeze. The bang of my door be...

New Cthonic: Chapters 1, 2, 3

AN: Sometimes to refill my creative JUICE, I like to work on other projects. I finally edited these chapters in order to prepare for a potential JUICE BREAK. I'd definitely like to expand on this story and world, but I'm committed to focusing primarily on Play Test for now.

Summary: The story begins in the heart of forgotten Appalachia in a town stifled by economic devastation and the threat of several ten-thousand pound mountain lions, where a boy is about to be...

May Interlude Poll: Dudes Rock Edition

I know I said I'd return Maki and Annie to the poll this month, but I lied. I'm really enjoying introducing and fleshing out the world via these interludes, so I feel it would be best to seize on that inspiration. Coincidentally, all the options turned out to be guys, so I decided to roll with it. Welcome to the first Dudes Rock Interlude Poll.

Character Sheet (As of An Afterlife Together)

AN: Just need to proofread today's main story update, but wanted to post this before I forgot.

Name: James Li

Archetype: Martial Arts Stunt Performer / Charming Rogue (Human)

Description: James Li is a skilled martial artist and stunt performer, known for his incredible acrobatics and charismatic personality. He combines the daring and physical prowess of Jackie Chan's characters with the wit and charm of a rogue. James is not only a master of martial arts but also a ...

Interlude 4: Jade

It was a hot, late summer day the first time she met James Li. One of those days when the ocean decided to spit back at the city, a black mar on an otherwise pleasant coastline, and smother it in vicious humidity. It was muggy, intolerably so, not even nine and her shirt was already sticking to her skin. She was going to drown if they didn’t get inside soon. If only the others would just switch to vapes already, but that was a lost cause, no one ...

An Afterlife Together Part 4

Maki’s previously boneless body snapped into rigidity. Both hands reached behind her to clutch at my wrist, knuckles whitening from the effort. I let her hold my wrist still and switched from pumping my fingers to flexing them back and forth, stroking the bottom walls with my calloused pads and rubbing the tops with my knuckles. My thumb remained in her ass but moved in a slow circle to the same rhythm so that she could feel it not only stretching her sensitive asshole but through into her ...

Marianne + Annie Pics

Character Sheet - (Updated to End of Go With the Flow)

I'll try to post these after chapters are complete in their entirety.

Name: James Li

Archetype: Martial Arts Stunt Performer / Charming Rogue (Human)

Description: James Li is a skilled martial artist and stunt performer, known for his incredible acrobatics and charismatic personality. He combines the daring and physical prowess of Jackie Chan's characters with the wit and charm of a rogue. James is not only a master of martial arts but also a smooth-talker and expert ...

An Afterlife Together 3

It was impossible to take Maki too seriously, her request was absurd and so was she, having wiped the streak of cum off her face just to play with it between her fingers. The image of the reserved, bookish woman studying my sticky semen with reverent solemnity was at once so hot and so surreal that I felt like I was high out of my mind. Existential incredulity, I’d call it; I simply couldn’t believe this was happening. What had my life become? How did I come to this moment?

“I kno...

An Afterlife Together 2

Maki’s shirt was open but still hanging off her shoulders. She pinched her shoulder blades together, pushing her chest out further and making the sweat-soaked cloth come free of where it had been caught on her hard nipples, baring herself to me. Her breasts were full and round, just big enough that they might have been able to wrap around my enhanced girth, and the pale skin above them was flushed with excitement. The miko’s smug expression told me that she too thought quite highly of the...

Interlude 3: Assorted Fire Tornado Witnesses

Sally McNeil; Morhaul, New Jersey 

Morhaul was quiet as always. There was noise, the ugly baritone of trucks rolling down the I-95 and their higher-pitched chorus of cars, the clatter and drumming of plastic trash bins in the wind, and the whipping of tree branches, but these were what passed as silence in Morhaul. She hated that silence.

Sally hugged herself at the kitchen table, sipping from a glass of water with both hands while waiting for her mother to finish making her ...

An Afterlife Together

We wrapped the comfortable silence around us like a heavy blanket and huddled close as we caught our breaths. Both of us needed the moment, Maki to come down to Earth after her first proper orgasm, and me to wrangle the bestial lust surging in me down to something more presentable. I had stabilized myself using Erotic Sorcery and was now paying the horny tax.

Maki had one arm wrapped tightly around my thigh and the other stretched up and behind her around my neck. The position looked un...

April Interlude Poll

I'll return Maki and Annie to the poll next month, but for now I'd like to shine the spotlight on some more characters. As usual, if the vignette isn't 2k words, I'll write another, hopefully on time this month. (Honestly, I'm hoping to write another 4k this month, but no promises.)

Interlude #2: Before & After

AN: To toot my own horn, I think this might be the best short story I've written in a while. Please enjoy this double-sized Interlude as an apology for the delay.

Four Months After the Death of Ishida Ken

 In her dreams, the hallway to her brother’s home dojo was long and dark. The ceiling was overcast with cobwebs, and the floorboards were half-rotting and roughhewn such that they caught her little feet and sent her falling face-first into the...

March Interlude delayed

Deeply sorry to miss the March Interlude. I started writing it and I realized that if I didn't catch up with the main story a bit, Maki's interlude was going to be insanely depressing. It would have only been her life before the Hungry Ghost mission, and it was making me too anxious to write, so I decided to refocus on the main story instead.

Anyway, that's all to say that March's interlude will be out later this week, and will include a little spice in it as an apology.

Thanks so...

Go With the Flow 3

Like a noble samurai, moments before seppuku, Maki held her head high, back straight, and wore a look of grim acceptance. It wasn’t quite what I had in mind with my earlier Seduction roll, but I’d take it. The lesbian was committed fully to anything we might do, and that had been the heart of the matter. ‘As nasty as you are comfortable with,’ she’d said, though I wouldn’t be so cruel as to so completely ignore her hard limits. On the contrary, I’d be entirely focused on them, m...

Go With the Flow 2

Maki promised to text Huo updates on how I was doing and helped me out of the car. I was already much more together after the ten minutes it had taken to get here, all things considered; I had my energy back and the pain had faded to a dull throb, my Special feat for 6 Dice in Endurance coming through in a big way. But Maki’s body heat was a welcome comfort in the chill late-night air, so I was happy to lean on her. 

“You live in Harbor Hill? I suppose you’re les...

Go With the Flow

AN: Please check out the last poll for the Viewer Selected Reward if you haven't already. It's pretty close right now.

God bless this cold, black water and these subterranean depths. Carry me to safety, or at the very least, send my body floating down the canal back to my mother.

Strange were the thoughts, and odd was the peace that found me in this storm drain, though neither unwelcome. I’d have imagined that hurdling towards a very narrow h...

First Reader Interaction Post! Vote for a Reward!

Updates are coming along well. I'm cooking up something a little spicy for next Monday. But for now, I finally get to do our first Viewer Reward Poll! I've always wanted a way to work some reader interaction into the story and with this extra week I've given myself to cook, I finally have the opportunity.

The Producers are looking to reward James. He solved his problem in a way that guaranteed half a dozen or more others, and that's the sort of go-getter attitude that SkinDimensional l...

Bell Street Exorcism 3

The rooftops of Chinatown welcomed me back into their cozy embrace. I'd spent over a decade flinging myself across, over, and sometimes into this three-dimensional landscape, earning most of my worst injuries doing so. In exchange for all those cracked ribs and dislocated fingers, I could confidently say that I knew more about the roofs of the neighborhood than the streets of any other. I knew which railings you could jump off and the location of perhaps every patch of grass big enough to div...

Basic System Rundown

I intend to return to this and edit in some more examples and rule clarifications. I'll post reminders at the end of chapters when it gets updated.

Here's some basic System information for those interested. I did make it  intentionally over-complicated for comedic effect and because I wanted  it to feel like a system still in Alpha.

Most rolls are determined by an Attribute by itself (Recovery Checks,  Untrained Checks), an Attribute + Attribute, o...

Bell Street Exorcism 2

There was no fog when Funikugami dismissed me. One moment, I was in his nightmarish domain, and the next, I was standing in the exact position I had been in the hallway before the lights had gone dark. My phone was even still in my hand, as though I'd been paralyzed in the instant of checking the time.

Had that all been in my head? Eight minutes had passed, and the Quest Rewards were real, but had I just been standing here this whole time? Was I standing here, or was thi...

Bell Street Exorcism 1

Maki pursed her lips before angrily texting her mother back, the white light from her phone bouncing off the underside of her umbrella, framing her pale face in a dim halo. She was sublimating her embarrassment into annoyance; that microsecond pause between pursing her lips and getting upset was her tell. Her burgeoning attraction to me irked some part of her personality enough to drive her into denial, a process I couldn't get enough of watching. Over the course of our long meal, I had final...
