THE NAMELESS. As a warden, Soren’s duty is to guard against the dead, but he was never trained to guard against his heart. Drawn into a web of Solarian politics, Soren finds himself at the center of a storm of his own making, unwilling to break free if it means losing the man he loves.

Dirigibles? Check. Lusty pirates? Check! Cigar and pipe smoking? Check!! Studebakers? Check!!! Teslapunk? Check!!

The Black Hart Library – Its not that the Livonians are inherently evil, really it is only that the residents of that small duchy tend to hire themselves out to the lowest bidder, and if the Livonians are in for a penny, why then the of course the Grüsonians (Gruesonians) are in for a pound. Stirling. Perhaps the evil Doctor Minneapolis St. Paul, (so named because her parents thought Minneapolis a far better city than Madison on even the worst of days), along with various immense financial entities are behind the perfidy of the Livonians et al.

Yes, there are more tales from the Black Hart Library and this effort was titled accordingly. You might ask, “And what will follow this? Even More Tales?” Stay tuned friends. When we last saw the Professor, he had just finished crashing an RDAS (Royal Dirigible Airship Service) airship following their encounter with the perfidious Livonians.

Are pink and black bathroom subway tile MCM? Sadly, yes. The Savinelli 614 Hungarian style tobacco pipe? Rustic finish? Of course, my friend. What about kindly elderly mad-scientist professors shuffling about in ...

Any reasonably exciting scientific endeavor entails some level of risk, how else do we explain so many research laboratories mysteriously exploding, or just completely disappearing, leaving gaping holes in the ground that will eventually become a rather nice pond for racing small model boats on sunny days.

Unusually suspicious minds might suspect that that our Professor, aka Professor Bajusz (mustache) to his increasingly shrinking circle of friends, is the ...
