REVIEW: Six Paths
Well-written and beautifully presented. Six Paths discusses gender, sex, and sexuality with nuance and care. What drew me most in this supplement is the integration of gender with the Orlanthi religion. Six Paths goes above-and-beyond other LGBT-advocacy publications by entwining its material with established lore of the setting. This is well-developed through a collection of … Continue reading REVIEW: Six Paths

MOTM Musings, and Recent Releases
It's been a few months! Back in March, I chose not to make a post here about that month's issue of my Monster of the Month (MOTM) series because I participated in April's Camp NaNoWriMo writing marathon.
