    Summary

    This is just a list of character ideas and potentially art or HeroForge adaptations I came up with this year, or who first appeared in a Pick-n-Mix Comix story this year, updated as the year goes on with additions as they happen. Possibly links to stories that include them, but no guarantees.

    If the date isn't known or isn't relevant due to a multi-day development or missing notes or something, just the month will be given, and if the month isn't known, then we're just shit outta luck on that one.

    Summary

    The Sorrow Hunter Database is an in-universe collection of documents relating to the cataloguing and study of entities and events known as Sorrows, which appear increasingly often throughout the Other Realms once a creature known as the Sorrowfather is created, carrying with him various entities and cruel fates from one world to the next. In this storyline, it's up to the Sorrow Hunters — those entrusted with their research from the shadows and hidden corners between realities where time has been forgotten — to research, pen down, and document evidence of each Sorrow's existence so that future generations can always keep a watch out for them going forward.

    This collection is Documented Sorrows No. 001 to 099, listing the first 99 Sorrows known to have been researched by the Sorrow Hunters on duty.

    Summary

    Grace Morgan has been living at her new house on Mooney Crescent for some time now, but her neighbors don't seem to like her very much...and, despite her best attempts, she doesn't seem to like them much either. It's summer of the year 1980, in the shadow-city of Grimshaw, and Grace has just encountered the Circle of Six — a coven of six witches who live on Grace's new home-street, in the cul-de-sac that ends with her house — and discovered their plans for the future are much darker than inviting her to their next dinner party.

    Summary

    It's 1974 in the Kingdom of Inglenook. In the aftermath of the 'Lonum Wars from 1968 to 1972, the Royal Protector known as Captain Mytho has successfully built a super-team called the Legendeers, operating out of an observatory in the city of Freeport — watching over the Bay Area, and the cosmos above, from their hilltop headquarters overlooking it all.

    One year after their battle with Dr Synergy, which resulted in the power-bestowing Synergy Wave that tore across the city, the Legendeers have found peace and togetherness once again. However, during a picnic, a starship from the alien planet Dorriya in the Chasm of Stars crash-lands near their city — its pilot, a grey-skinned scientist resembling a living gargoyle from his homeworld, warning of the collision course his world of Dorriya's moons have suddenly been set on — a collision course heading straight for the realm of Inglenook!

    Captain Mytho and the Legendeers spring into action, and are forced to choose between Dorriya's moons — and the safety of their own home and center of operations — in this story of cosmic trouble that only the Legendeers can stop.

    Summary

    In 1980, Sam Deckard was transformed by the evil scientist Dr Synergy into the vicious Spyderite. To save him from persecution in their home in the spaceborne colony of Spotlight City, his friend Solar Girl and her partner/his mother Moonshine perform a ritual to transport him to a safer world: the shadow-city of Grimshaw, hidden away in the depths of the Kingdom of Inglenook's Blackwood Forest, in the Other Realms.

    Now, the year is 1981, and this is his story.

    Summary

    One year after the purple-suited scientist known as Dr Connector finally defeated his arch-nemesis, the tesseract-wielding supervillain Krusible, he still struggles with the grief and torment the battle — and the lives lost in the process — put him through.

    As the early 1980s wear on, and tensions rise in the face of kobold invasions, demon uprisings, valleywide national pandemics, and political conspiracies, Kent Rundle looks inward and turns to his friends amongst other Royal Protectorates such as his fellow Builders, the Legendeers, and the Veil for support and looks toward the future to keep things stable.

    Summary

    Some episode listings for a series I'll probably never write called Advocate, based on some of the lore I've developed in my life and work, and for Pick-n-Mix Comix specifically, set in a region of the Chasm of Stars known as the Outer Sanctum, on the borders of known space.

    Specifically, Advocate is set in 2300s-era Braxanite space, at the edges of the Central Planets, which have been dominated first by the Galactic Prospect, then by the Braxanite Regime which replaced it and installed Braxanite immigrants and colonists all across the Central Planets.

    In this series, an enforcement vessel for the Braxanite Regime known as the GOV Advocate delves into the mostly-uncharted Outer Sanctum for the first time and meets new races unknown to the Regime, such as the Mechosians, the Foraldians, and the Ishyr. In the process, we follow the Advocate's captain, Braxanite Teben Yuroz, as well as a crew of mostly races united under the Regime — such as Byrennian medical advisor Dr Huldren, Keladon security director Chief Wuttle Mack, and stowaway-turned-pilot Dessiny Trix — as they evolve and adjust to the revelations about their own lives to be found within the Outer Sanctum.

    Summary

    Werner Goldrucken, a Silvani elf from the worlds of Inglenook and Edelmund in the Other Realms, leaves his increasingly-industrialized multiverse of fantasy and imagination and magic behind for the much larger — and more complex — one just outside, known as the Chasm of Stars, which happens to be full of aliens, starships, and a backwater planet where community is the focus called Prolune.

    Summary

    Of all of Inglenook's teams of masked heroes known as Royal Protectors, the Veil stands above the rest; the best, and most independently-operating, of the Kingdom's commissioned heroes, the Veil is led by fortune teller Mother Mancer, and serves the Kingdom as a whole, rather than any specific city within it. These are their stories — stories of Catman and the Red-And-Gold, Captain Flexo and Dr Connector, and many more — right here, in Veil Comix.


    "Mother Mancer's Haunted House"

    On the eve of Soultide, 1979, Mother Mancer encounters a thief from her past: the former Royal Protector Haunter, who seeks information about the whereabouts of ex-Familiar Five member Nightingale.

    Summary

Each installment brings you up close and personal with a selection of facts, figures, and lore from every corner of the urban fantasy multiverse known only as the Other Realms.


    "Alien"

    Summary

    Am I writing poems about my own characters now? This pairing has been a hard one for me to get right, because Aetherica — the so-called bride in this poem — is so heavily based on the ephemerality and ethereality of the concept of love and spiritual ideation.

    Makes her very hard to write a story about, but apparently, easy to write a few cute little words about.

    In the world of Pick-n-Mix Comix, she's something like the embodiment of the Aether that separated the Other Realms, a spatial plane filled with aetheric mist that comes in different colors and makes you feel different things and can be summoned and controlled by spirits and sorcerers alike. I decided early on that Aetherica and Mother Mancer were going to be paired, but it's like writing about a woman in love with a god: nearly impossible, but so deeply intriguing.

    Summary

    The anthology that named the franchise!

    Originally one single work, Pick-n-Mix Comix is an anthology collection of shorts, vignettes, tales, guidebook entries, and a bunch of other bits and guffins surrounding the Other Realms that don't quite fit into any other ongoing or standalone purviews. Sometimes, there's original characters, sometimes, there's characters from other stories as a way to mix things up, keep things interesting, and expand on lore in ways that can't be done in their main storylines.

    So, you'll find them here. Stories and characters from Inglenook, the Freelands, Edelmund, even the Grim Grove and Grimshaw, and throughout the rest of the Other Realms too. This is Pick-n-Mix Comix.


    "My Hearse Is Dead"

    Gallo's hearse malfunctions, forcing him to rely on the services of a ghost at Common Grounds named Harvey Stoker.


    "The Ghost Of Robert Tindall"

    Gallo cleans up the body of former slaughterer Robert Tindall, who becomes a ghost at Common Grounds known as Cutthroat.


    "The Dream Demon"

    Gallo has a dream, and almost gets trapped inside it. Luckily, he's a lucid dreamer and knows how to counteract these types of things.

    Summary

    The idea for Mezhon is taken mainly from your classic Elder Futhark series of runic inscriptions; it was designed to be a simple way for dragons in the Chasm of Stars to leave behind messages carved into the runic "dragonstones" left behind as memorials on the planets and in the realms they visited. Currently, there's 38 runes for different consonants, vowels, digraphs, and other sounds within the Dragorean language, and they can be written individually or using the "Valozian method", which is more common — inspired by Korean hangul, the Valozian method presents Mezhon runes and messages in blocks of four, representing two runes/sounds/phonemes at a time to form the full word.

    Blocks of four become blocks of four to form longer words or sentences, and because it's still fairly primitive, there's currently no way to differentiate between sentences or parts of speech, as I'm mostly testing it with basic Dragorean names and syllabic phrases, but I expdct that might change as it continues to evolve and I finalize more of what the Mezhon runes actually look like.

    This document is mostly some of my crude, first-run trial tests of some prototype Mezhon runes and what names in the Valozian method might look like.

    Summary

    Working on conlang stuff for my dialect called Dragorean, which is used primarily by dragons and elder races in the Chasm of Stars; based on the naming "language" I formatted up, with a whispering phonology and 38 official letters representing various consonants, vowels, digraphs, and sounds currently, I've been expanding it into a hopefully-speakable linguistic sample, and although I'm coming at it practically rather than scientifically (I've been building workable phrases and naturalistically reverse-engineering it from there), I thought it might be fun to share some of my behind-the-scenes development notes so far.

    There's also a set of runes used to write Dragorean, which I'm developing; there will be at least 38 for each letter, collectively called Mezhon, and in the Valozian script, they're written in blocks of 4 to represent different syllables within the sentence. You'll see how it works, if I can get it drawn up along with the language itself.

    Hoping to do a workable phrasebook eventually. I seem to be developing this from the viewpoint of phrases a person learning the language might need to know first — IE, basic "I am, you are, we are" phrases — and spiralling out from there.

    Summary

    Collections of news articles, columns, fictional documents, and various ephemera from the Kingdom of Inglenook, often (but not always) relating to the press service known as Valley Newswire, the infamous travelling reporter Peregrine Perkins, and her column of the same name — Welcome To Inglenook — which highlights notable and worthwhile attractions and events from Inglenook and its history throughout the existence of the Other Realms.

    Summary

    In Blackwood Forest, a shadow-city exists, buried in the depths of the Grim Grove. Home to monsters, home to weirdos, home to freaks of all sorts, it's unknown to the rest of Inglenook — until a witch and travelling detective by the name of Grace Morgan stumbles her way beyond the Veil, and discovers the secrets it has to offer.

    This is Solemn Graces, the tale of Grimstead — and Grace Morgan — and Gallo Belgrave — and more. The core series of the Sorrows Of Blackwood franchise, it's a home for ghostly mysteries, Gothic horror, supernatural drama, and much more, so if you like any of those things, you'll feel right at home here.


    "Gallo's Soultide Special"

    In a break from normal continuity, we delve into the events of Gallo's celebration of Soultide at the end of 1977, where he and Wilma Barrow wait for the Alderghast to appear — only to remember he never appears in the Grim Grove anyway.


    "Rise Of The Alderghast"

    From Elder Hollow to the dawn of time, the Alderghast has been there to carry the souls of Inglenook's dead back to safety at the end of each year. How did this tradition start? Why is it him? Who is the oldest spirit in Inglenook, anyway? Find out here.

    Summary

    This'll be a work in progress for quite some time, but I decided to start mapping out rough locations of different major regions within the Chasm of Stars as a setting. It's not quite a galaxy until in-universe powers start pulling things together, but things still change and star systems change place every now and then; for the most part, though, it served as a mostly-accurate reference to the general distances and cartographical placements of everything, or at least the major worlds.

    Most of these are homeworlds, like Byrenna and Rusidra, or long-standing colonies, like Mons Platina and Karsha Orralys, and obviously, there are unique regions differentiated by location and roughly what types or worlds and events happen there (the Realm of Sin has Devolans, the prison planet of Kon Thalry on Nemessia, and the burning world of Cauldra; the Central Planets have the remnants of the Vorinthian Nation, the Braxanite Regime, Dorriya, and so on; etc).

    Oh yeah, and the Tessarium in the Astral Grotto is technically where the Other Realms are located; it's sort of a quasi-physical portal between the Chasm and the more ethereal Realms themselves, so very important to note.
