Carrie Brownell’s The Golden Hour is a heartwarming and beautifully crafted story, one that feels both timeless and gently new. It invites young readers (and those young at heart) into a magical moment tucked into an ancient hall, where carved angels hide a secret light and an ordinary Christmas becomes extraordinary.

This past week, I did more research on the Fate Core system. I read the Fate System Toolkit which is another game-building supplement of Evil Hat Productions. This was also a very helpful resource for building a game.

Although I do not plan on having magic used in my game, this does have a very robust explanation of how one would utilize a magic system inside a Fate Core system.

First, it was nostalgia reading the strips, and then as I put on my cartoonist hat, I really began to appreciate how Prohias was able to say a complete story without words and embrace the rare quality of having both protagonists also be antagonists.
