Introduction by Lucinda

Chapter 1 in Magic vs Science

The steady beat of drums is fading, drowned out by more and more of the hateful droning of orc and gnomish war horns. Your blade flicks out, finding a gap in the plate armour of your human foe, who collapses with a shriek, before whipping to your left in a two handed swing to rip...

Chapter 4 in Magic vs Science

You are.. awake? Perhaps.. It’s hard to say. Your head hurts and your body feels heavy and sluggish. You might be bound, or possibly ? Your mind swirls as you try to make sense of what you are feeling. Your heart sinks as you remember your capture and you realise that what...

Hold out by Lucinda

Chapter 17 in Magic vs Science

The truth is that you don’t feel there is a choice to be made. You are a piece in the game and all of the players have made their moves. What little agency you have felt since your capture evaporates. Nonetheless your resolve remains. You will remain unbowed and watch for your ch...

Collecting broken thoughts by Lucinda

Chapter 16 in Magic vs Science
