Dancing lights off in the distance, what can they be? No, they aren't swamp gas or ignus fati or aliens. They're will-o-wisps!

Don't follow them, kids. They'll trick you into falling down a ditch!

The greatest Cortex Community zine in the world, delivering 5 high-octane articles of Cortex RPG goodness, is now available.

Cortex Lite, the lightest, tightest, big-bang-in-a-little-book complete Cortex game, is alongside it, downloadable from https://t.co/H7SiPGzUBD.

I hope to see HardLite, GasLite, StarLite, TorchLite, and more come to life. Join and support us @ https://t.co/sOI3zFYoMg

When @miriamrobern asked me to write a capsule game for Xine's premier issue, I was beyond flattered. Then @JeremyForbing mentioned a project then called Cortex Zero. He pitched how he wanted to see Cortex Zero used. I said well I had this Lite series idea...

They're antisocial, scaley, and their culture in unfathomably ancient. They are CUCA, river-dwelling outsiders who don't even like the company of their own kind. For those of you who like to play brooding loner characters, here it is, your ideal fantasy splat!

Peshak the Rider is leading the google poll but Cuca make up the difference in the patron poll. Please help me tip the balance one way or the other so I don't have to figure out a tiebreaker!
