Originally posted on Google+ in July 2016: #6 Bubbilisk (Water Lizard w/ Claws)Bubbilisks are remarkably lightweight TinyMon with broad, webbed feet and long fin-lined tails.

Schnozzers love to play … Continue reading Redux: Tiny Monsters, Go! Schnozzer

Originally posted on Google+ in July 2016: #4 Amplisaur (Electric, Lizard, Shell)The metal ornament on its tail is small when born, and grows larger and more elaborate as the Amplisaur ages and its tail lengthens. Powerful tail muscles hold this lightning rod aloft in lightning storms, channeling the electricity into this TinyMon's battery-like shell. When fully … Continue reading Redux: Tiny Monsters, Go!

At 81 plus-ones, this is probably my most interacted-with thing I ever contributed on G+: My players finally picked out a name for their crew, so it seemed appropriate to introduce that name in the fiction in a big way... and since they just got an Inspector … Continue reading Redux: The Devil’s Gentry of Glass Street
