Nacho found himself overlooking a kitchen version of the Grand Canyon. He and Brie had emerged onto a wooden shelf that spanned the entire upper wall of the gargantuan room. The shelf held various knick-knacks, plates, an odd spoon collection, and some picture frames that were too far away for th...
2023-03-17 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostTwo hours into their run, even Brie was showing signs of mentally wearing down. As Nacho tried to gauge the distance they still needed to cross, he felt his heart drop. He could still see the Pantry door rising up in the distance behind them. There was nothing but an open hallway stretching in fr...
2023-03-16 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to the Pantry, and to Active Combat! You’ll have to tell your people the rules after this session of Active Combat, if you survive it. No Store. No Regens.
No eating!
Happily for Nacho and his team, they had the benefit of having j...
2023-03-15 11:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNacho ignored the blinding light of the portal as he scrambled over to Jennifer. He slid to her side and was relieved to find that she was still breathing. He helped her sit up, noticing a vial of lime-green liquid still clutched in her hand. It must have been the Missile Margarita she'd been att...
2023-03-14 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, at the start of March there was a small change to new chapters that I find hasn't worked well. The software really can't seem to handle it, so I'm reverting it to where we were last month. Should be fully fixed by Wednesday!
2023-03-13 14:45:02 +0000 UTC View PostNacho helped Jennifer get her mobile brewery set up and started a fire, which was easy because the wood was dry and dead. He was deeply missing his own mobile kitchen, and he tossed a glare in Reuben's direction each time he thought about it. Being so far away from the government buildings and th...
2023-03-13 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostBrie interrupted the Archer before he could go any further. “Is everyone in the Breakfast Club okay?”
“Yes, for now.” Taye swallowed and gestured back the way he had come. “We jailbroke Kristie, then ran for the entrance to the Welcome Dungeon. We had to kill… a lot of ...
2023-03-10 12:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“This is awesome.” Jennifer focused on her screen, then spent credits like a lake being evaporated with a single flash of light. She went from level eleven to level eighteen for the princely sum of two million, one hundred thirteen thousand, eight hundred credits. Since she wasn’t ...
2023-03-09 12:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAs they made their way down the stairs, Reuben explained that his new Skill had cost him seven thousand and five hundred credits, and Brie paid the same. Jennifer had paid twenty thousand credits for her new Skill, proving to Nacho that Satiation Players' Skills were considered more potent.
Welcome, Cookie, to the Skillz Box! Not to be confused with the Skillz Cube, which you had to move to get here. Fun fact: this room is also cube-shaped, and it contains a variety of Skillz, so it’s kind of like a Skillz Cube as well. Anyway, would you like to go over what you can already do...
2023-03-07 12:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostNacho hurried over to the iron cube, trying to glean as much information about it as possible. It wasn’t flat on the ground; instead one tip was set into the floor, with the opposite corner pointing at the ceiling.
Dealing with the stress of the situation in his own way, Reuben waxed eloq...
2023-03-06 12:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThey fought their way down several additional levels of the fry pit dungeon cells. On the third floor, they started encountering ‘Extra Crispy Prisoners’. Those weren’t lightly breaded, instead having layer upon layer of batter that provided them with decently thick armor.
The new bat...
2023-03-03 12:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostNacho watched nervously as Jennifer choked down her first real sample of his cooking. For some reason, the fact that she had eaten a peanut butter ball first made it even worse for her when she tried to bite down on the fried millet circle. The cook could only wince as her expression wen...
2023-03-02 12:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostBasic needs covered and tension broken, the group started heading slowly down the stones of the circular staircase. At first glance, the steps looked like regular stone rectangles, until Nacho noticed that the small platforms were actually a combination of triangles and circles that fit together ...
2023-03-01 12:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNacho paused in hesitant contemplation under the blue sunshine of this other world as rivers of orange pollen, sweet and fragrant, filled the air. He didn’t know how he was going to get himself and his friends through the huge portcullis of the CruxTerran castle. There was clearly a welcome sig...
2023-02-27 16:49:42 +0000 UTC View PostNacho led the way through the blazing forest, following the chemical stink to the CrossWorld Portal. Before long, they managed to find a road relatively clear of flames, though they had quickly learned that the ash and deadly fumes were more of a problem.
The forest fire had already burned ...
2023-02-27 16:48:57 +0000 UTC View PostDue to a miscommunication error this morning, everyone got an extra week of content today. :P Happy end of the month!
2023-02-27 16:47:18 +0000 UTC View PostFirefly Potstickers danced overhead, lighting up the room as Nacho and his friends gaped at the ruins of a See’s Candy store. Shattered glass from ravaged display cases crunched beneath their feet as they eased across the cracked floor tiles, highlighting the fact that all of the candy was gone...
2023-02-27 16:03:24 +0000 UTC View PostNacho still had plenty of health, so he assumed that the fact they were still in Active Combat wasn’t a big deal. He and Jennifer had already started down the path in the hopes of quickly reaching the strange dungeon his people had tried to explore.
The Satiation duo skidded to a halt and...
2023-02-24 16:45:47 +0000 UTC View PostNacho darted along the path without being seen. Brie and Reuben were about two hundred yards away, and he raced up to them so noiselessly that he needed to avoid a reactionary blow from Brie when she finally noticed him. Motioning them to the side, they found three trees close together with enoug...

She's a new character that will be with us until the end of the series!
2023-02-24 16:40:26 +0000 UTC View PostNacho hid in a thicket of bushes and watched as the woman worked. He couldn’t believe it. He’d found another Satiation Player, and it wasn’t a hateful hermit who drank too much of his own hooch?
Or could this be… Nibbles? The person even the contemptible System seemed to speak defer...
2023-02-24 16:39:10 +0000 UTC View PostNacho threw another log on the fire, hoping that having extra heat in the air would let his skin stretch with less tearing or pain as his muscles writhed.
The hard oak rapidly perfumed the cabin, along with the sweet smell of Reuben’s root beer burps, as the man himself waxed eloquent. ...
2023-02-24 12:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThey moved away from the guild as darkness settled over the land, following the *zip* and *snap* of his flickering Fireflies. He was down to eight little potstickers to light their way, and traveling at night in the Juxtaposition was a dangerous proposition. Beyond the standard ...
2023-02-23 12:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostNacho had been cleaning for hours after this morning’s Great Donut Disaster. The Patrons had been right to warn him about the dangers of gluten-free cooking, and he was starting to understand the logic that Reuben used to explain what he had been missing. The cook muttered that advice ...
2023-02-22 12:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe cook read through the latest message, knowing for a fact that he was going to buy the upgrade.
Okay, Cook, it seems you have fallen in love with this little hammer of worthlessness, so we’ll give you a break. Upgrade it to Tier 1 for 5,000 credits. Not only will ...
2023-02-21 12:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostReuben and Brie came into the kitchen, ready to help with dinner. The Healer pushed his leather helmet back to scratch under it, accenting his motions to draw attention to the item. He wore the helmet mostly to annoy them, and frankly it worked far too well. “About Zack-”

I worked out some of the kinks in the program, what do you guys think of this version of Andre?
2023-02-17 16:19:37 +0000 UTC View PostNo matter how disappointed he was with how Zack had chosen to live, and the decisions that had led him to this point, the fact remained that he had made those choices. It was astounding how little time it took before the rumor mill convinced people to swarm into the guildhall, and Nacho ...
