The Intangible Design, Second: The World Intangible
The Intangible Design is now posted.

The genre is established neither as fantasy, for the underworld needs ventilation, nor as science fiction, as there is an abundance of eldritch magic, but as whatever genre Weird Tales and Dungeons and Dragons happens to be.
