Flakk & Titanium
A Warhammer 40,000 story of life and romance in the grim darkness of the far future where there is only war. The Catachan 54th "Sky Reapers" have been deployed to the far off world of Zyrantiel, on the infamous "Thunderous Front", to ply their trade of anti-air expertise against the foul Ork. Along with them is a very minor detachment from Forge World Metalica, who have goals of their own. Techpriest Artisan Rileigh of Forge World Metalica comes to meet Sergeant Charr Stag of the Catachan 54th, and declares him her main liaison, leading to a lot more interaction than they might have otherwise had. This interaction between the wildly different cultures of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Imperial Guard generates a fair amount of friction, but also sparks. Can this fragile love survive the horror, violence, and darkness of the 41st Millennium?

Welcome to Devos
Welcome to a world where humor, drama, and action clash in epic tales spanning a vast continent....Welcome to Devos An anime styled medieval fantasy world featuring heroes, gods, and demons in a grounded and story/character focused series. A world where the gods of power bestow elemental abilities on those they find worthy. Welcome to Devos is broken up into parts, each part is more or less a complete story that expands the world, characters, and kingdoms of Devos. It plays out a lot like Game of Thrones where instead of a lead character you have an entire cast, each one getting plenty of time to develop over the course of the series. It is a relatively grounded, character and story-driven adventure that focuses on people of interest and their relationships with each other, their nations, and the eight gods of power. While the story features a good blend of light and dark themes it can get really grim at times. The continent of Devos is comprised of 5 territories, they include the three kingdoms of Verdun, Ashmir, and Vespa along with the territories of two demon lords to the north and south. The time period and setting are basically what you would find in a fantasy anime. There are eight gods of power which wield eight different elements and have the ability to "bless" individuals with certain abilities. Monsters roam the wilderness and the ruins/dungeons that are scattered throughout the landscape. Adventurers complete quests, hunt monsters, and explore the vast continent. We've got heroes, demon lords, gods, spys, special operations assault teams, phantom eagles, kings & queens, cursed chickens, talking goblins, and a whole shit ton more already in with plenty more coming soon.

Who the hell sticks a man in a tunnel with flesh eating insects an unknown amount of distance beneath the ground with the nerve to say they're offering you a 'better chance in a second life' with no further explanation.

If I ever find any of these idiots i'm not just gonna punch them in their face, I'm gonna head-but them in their soon to be bloody, crooked as can be noses.

Poorly Chosen
The Seventh Scourge of Altez has robbed countless peoples of their freedom, homes, and hopes. The Archon's twisted Dream deprives the land of its defenders, returning them as twisted monstrosities that cut down former friends and family with glee. The Alliance's campaign against his tyranny has failed, with former allies turning to his banner in hopes for mercy in his new domain. At the final hour, with any hope of salvation dwindling day by day, a legendary armory was rumored to have been uncovered. Within this ruin lies the very relic that had been used to slay the Fifth Scourge in ages past, one that ancient texts tell could only be wielded by a true warrior. Yet the one who ends up wielding the blade would lead all to question their understanding of what a 'True Warrior' is.
