Excerpted from a sidebar helping GM's navigate a demon-driven literary conversation in the Salacious
Salon of Sxiploi, a sublevel in What Ho, Frog Demons (the fourth and forthcoming installment in the Slumbering Ursine Dunes series).

10. The Penultimate Tome That Cannot
Be Spoken Of. There is a rather slim volume – one that I am not
specifically referencing in anyway either on my tongue or deep in my
stolen soul, nor am I ideating as a physical object or as literary
concept – that may or may not be the sequel of another book.
Perfect as a gift for that special someone in your life of
Unspeakable Evil.
So are we going to find out more about the Hot Hell in What Ho? And when is it due out?
ReplyDeleteYes a sneak peek of a section of that Hell. My players for some reason doggedly resist going there.
DeleteIf it is the PENULTIMATE Tome That Cannot Be Spoken Of, wouldn't it be the PREquel to another book which shall not be named?
