The Lantern of Revelation by Glowing Roots Press
Theme: Light
Deep in an unearthly forest, a group of aspirants pursue apotheosis in a ritual of psychic illumination and shedding of earthly forms and delights.
3 things I liked:
- "Cursed Ancient—skilled in Eternity"
- "Jagged rocks pile high, slick with the inky blood of creatures which tried, and failed, to crawl their way out of the sea."
- "The transcendent harmony of sunbeams, played as glowing harp strings by invisible hands"

Lovely Fields of Green by SeethingLloron
Theme: Grass
...Acres of farmland and pay in gold to enter the deep grasslands and kill the herds and flocks that act with collective intellect to destroy the farmers' livelihoods and lives.
Three things I liked:
- "If it doesn't grow from the ground here, you cannot eat it"
- "The hills here literally roll, undulating under your feet."
- "How does this place make you realize that you are but a blip to mother nature?"

Cordially Invited by signalstation
Theme: Detective
A hard-boiled search for the socialite daughter of a wealthy man, who's fallen in with a hedonistic crowd with their own bizarre tastes.
Three things I liked:
- "A hawk-faced brute checks tickets with a blacklight. You do not have tickets."
- "A binder: bios of all of you, save one. Details none could know but them."
- "One of you must enter T H E E G G."

Manse by perpetualgloom
Theme: Possession
An old abandoned manor house, replete with plenty of historic deaths. Nobody has a claim to it, which means everyone has a claim to the treasures within. Just be careful for what stakes a claim on you...
Three things I liked:
- "For a moment you trade places. You're part of the painting, watching someone else pilot your body. Just for a moment."
- "You refer to the manse as "my house.""
- "Why did you allow yourselves to be split up like this?"
