Fetching Feathers (Saturday Review)

Author: Tabletop Games Blog September 27, 2025 Duration: 9:30

The wind rustled gently through the trees. Dappled sunshine bathed the garden in a warm yellow tint, catching on the edges of the leaves and shimmering on the glass of a small bird bath. A hummingbird flitted from branch to branch, pausing briefly to inspect a cluster of flowers. Further away, a woodpecker drilled purposefully into the thick trunk of an old oak.

There would be no more Fetching Feathers by Chris Priscott from Unfringed with art by Faizul Mudhakir.
