https://amzn.to/2KK1GJd

Steamtown Chronicles 1: The Dark Market (An NPC Gamelit Novella) (12:32)

Am NPC story just long enough to do a bit of world building and character development without being so long that it drags things out.

Score: 8 out of 10

Taint Team (Caverns and Creatures) (17:09)

Another funny and inappropriate C&C short story

Score: 7.3 out of 10
