A project for your consideration: moonflower
On Kickstarter, magister ludi is running a campaign to fund their game moonflower. It looks gorgeous and interesting, and I recommend all House of Cards fans to give it a look and maybe your support.
Two irons in the fire
On the Silence in Heaven front: The progress is slow but steady! A skeleton of mechanical resolution is in place, about 20% more of the Sphere+Element powers are written, more lore for the game has been set down (e.g., all the Archons have a description now), and things are looking better than before.

It's not necessary when dealing with angel versus mortal interactions - angels always win - but there is obviously an… Continue reading Numbers? Or not?
