《The Dark Times》Article 44 - MTTM (Magic to the moon) and related topic
Advertisement
The MTTM (Magic to the Moon) movement has been active again now the months are cloudier again and the non-magical are less likely to spot an unscheduled arrival on its surface. For many years after the non-magical first announced their intention to go to the moon, there was discussion, and quite a bit of controversy, as to whether it was even possible. Some were more concerned of its impact on moon magic. Many Wicca were offended at the idea of walking on the face of the moon goddess, but there were also those that we intrigued by the possible out comes. It was with a mixture or awe and horror that Shadow-kind watched the first step of mankind on the surface of a planetoid that wasn’t Earth. It was even more of a shock to some when the walk on the moon was achieved without any of the predicted disasters for desecrating the moon. New disasters were predicted in-stead such as dire consequences for the astronauts, or moon magic, but moon magic continued to be effective and the astronauts continued to live. It was then suggested by a few brave youths, that if the mundane could walk on the moon unmolested, then it should be possible for Shadow-kind to do the same via magic. Not as easy as it sounds. There are a lot of factors involved in going to the moon. Getting there is the first problem. A spell had to be constructed, and then the next question was how large a group could be transported. Food, water and air are needed as well while on the moon. There is also the technicality of getting back everything that is sent. It wouldn’t do to leave a baked bean tin behind for and astronauts to find. Its is till early days and it was decided early on that a sprite would be used as the test subject as they are capable of maintaining their own bubble of magic and therefore atmosphere. Once was suitably blackmailed. It has been argued that sprites are attached to the planet’s magic and their bubbles will not work on an alternative sphere. This is a side curiosity to those interested in the outcome. If one is returned, dead, an autopsy will be required. This latest attempt was to send a captured sprite called Mimi with a thermos flask of sacred water, a bag of snack bars and a book on ‘Lakes and Rivers of Britain’. Mimi was successfully teleported but turned at Uluru in the middle of the Australian desert, rather than on the intended target. Adjustments will need be made to the next rendition of the spell. Once she’d been retrieved, she did report a brief glimpse of the inside of a space station while in transit. The MTTM consider this progress and a moderate success. The MTTM will continued their work. On a related note the more ambitious, MTM (Magic to Mars) group, who have already seeded Mars with viruses and bacteria, since found by the space agency, have successfully teleported a fish to the red planet. They got back a kipper.

The Adventures Of Heegan, Bleegan, Hoogan, and Bloogan: The Search For The Enchanted Toad Of Delarmir
This is a tale of four young goblin brothers, whose adventures and calamities are told as legends and jokes throughout the land. But they were first inspired by legends they heard, before ascending into one themselves; a reminder that simple beginnings can be the start of something great. Written for my D&D 5e party after they demanded I write an actual story about a children's book they found in one of our sessions, so I wrote it as it would appear in game as a childrens story. I took a very different approach on writing it, so do not be too disappointed when you find out it's not written at first grade reading level. Feedback is much appreciated, as I have never produced anything like this and I do hope I manage to entertain at least a few of you. New chapter releases to be within 3-5 days of one another (Work is now complete, do not expect new chapters).

Immutable
The world went to hell in a handbasket. Overnight, something called the Allworld downloaded itself into the universe and everything but the kitchen sink appeared to end the planet. Governments fell and chaos reigned. People were left to fend for themselves. Of course, that's not, like, a bad thing. Pollution is at an all time low which means no more global warming. And all that corrupt bureaucracy is gone now too. Which means all those evil people refusing to do something about our dying planet are gone. Plus, people got superpowers. Which is, you know, pretty sweet. Of course, they can't be normal superpowers, everything but the kitchen sink was thrown in after all. Caleb is immutable, unable to physically change in a world completely changed; Alex was granted a system that talks to her in cat puns, but also gives her power over all cats; Nathan met a god of impulse, who gave him powers because he felt like it; and June is given a power to make things lazy, something opposite to her personality. The four of them meet by chance while hunting monsters. They met by chance but must learn to work together when an empire from space lands on Earth with the intent to subjugate the surviving humans.
