Lost Crew Brent Le Blanc 2026-06-21 | On a claustrophobic lunar base, a fatal accident has just taken the life of one crew member. Before the commander can turn the death into clean official language, the surviving engineer storms into the common room and forces him to face what really happened.What begins as blame over a failed seal becomes something larger: grief, rage, institutional cowardice, and the ugly truth that humanity brings its oldest sicknesses wherever it goes.

Tinderbox Brent Le Blanc 2026-05-28 | This was an experiment I did to just see how quickly I could go from concept to finish in an hour.

Hedge & Stoat | Ep 7: Every Kingdom Lies Brent Le Blanc 2026-05-21 | The docks are closing. Every captain says no. Every door shuts before they knock. Somewhere in the dark end of the harbor, someone has been waiting for them — with paid passage, a warm cup, and a phrase she's been listening for. But not everyone who waits for you is on your side. And the tide she promised isn't the tide that comes.
Hedge & Stoat | Ep 06 Brent Le Blanc 2026-05-12 | Stoat and Hedge return to the older streets of Oldmout, where Merrin keeps her lamp lit for visitors she does not particularly want to see. The conversation they came for is short. The one Bramble left them with — half a memory, half a warning — turns out to be longer than either of them expected.As the coin meets an old sea chart and Merrin's silence outweighs her answers, the trail bends west: a harbor no living scholar names, a mint older than the council itself, and a wind off the water that seems to know them by name.---Facet Forgea Brent Le Blanc production
Hedge & Stoat | Ep 05 Brent Le Blanc 2026-04-29 | Stoat and Hedge make their way through the ancient heart of Oldmoot, where every root, lantern, and council stone seems to remember more than it should. But when Bramble’s strange coin points to a distant mint and an older power, Stoat begins to realize the purse was never just a payment.As Merrin waits with answers no one wants to hear, the trail bends toward the impossible: a crowned hawk, a hidden message, and a dream of the book that has not finished with them yet.---Facet Forgea Brent Le Blanc production
Hedge & Stoat Answer the Internet Brent Le Blanc 2026-04-28 | Comments featured in this episode are from followers of Hedge and Stoat! Keep them coming ;P
Hedge & Stoat | Ep 04 Brent Le Blanc 2026-04-26 | In Oldmoot, a tavern is never just a tavern.Stoat follows a small debt into the warm noise of the Watering Well, where Veylen is holding court and Bramble’s absence is starting to feel less like misfortune and more like design.A few coins.A hidden note.A trail left in plain sight.---Facet Forgea Brent Le Blanc production
Hedge & Stoat | Ep 03 Brent Le Blanc 2026-04-21 | In the lantern-lit streets of Oldmoot, a small debt becomes something else entirely.Stoat and Hedge came to town chasing answers about a strange tome. What they find instead is a trail left by Bramble — one that begins with a coin purse, a whispered worry, and a warning hidden in plain sight.---Facet Forgea Brent Le Blanc production
Hedge & Stoat | Ep 02 Brent Le Blanc 2026-04-19 | Oldmoot stands where a great oak fell centuries ago — layered, crowded, and always watching.When a courier goes missing, Hedge and Stoat follow the only thing left behind: a pattern no one else is willing to see.--a production by Brent Le Blanc

It's not something I do super often so it was a fun excerise.

Celestial Rites Brent Le Blanc 2024-08-14 | In halls of stone, where shadows reign,And whispers coil like serpents’ bane,The cloaked ones gather, veiled in night,To mark the stars, to bind the light.Beneath the ancient, watchful gaze,Of symbols carved in endless maze,The oil drips, a sacred rite,In circles drawn by unseen might.By the darkened sky, where secrets dwell,And echoed chants a silent spell,They guard the truth, in shadows deep,Where time is lost, and secrets sleep.

Awakened - AI Assisted Short Film Brent Le Blanc 2024-08-06 | I'm a huge Lovecraft fan and wanted to do a little vignette of some of my favorite terrifying aspects of that lore.

Merricks Tale Brent Le Blanc 2024-07-26 | This is a short story that I worked on for about 3 nights after work this week. I really want to see how I can wield AI to help create things. I know people's feelings about these tools are quite mixed. I believe that AI can be used as a tool that allows us to explore more, learn more, do more. AI has helped me in so many aspects of my life. It really took me by surprise and has capture my attention like no other technology before it. I understand its dangerous and I see the possibilities along side them. I love the fact that AI is going to allow me to explore ideas I likely never would have followed through. You are able to create things and experience them like an audience member. I think there is a future where instead of spending your evenings watching stories. You will experience them in real time in its full comleteness as often as you'd like. I think the Holodeck is not far off now and its incredibly exciting to be alive to see this come reality.
