Gnoll Tales by Nighteyes Dayspring: Book Review

It is described as

Anthropomorphic hyenas—or gnolls—get a bad reputation in many fantasy settings, being reduced to little more than slavering, ravenous beasts. Yet what if gnolls were more than just creatures for heroes to fight, but rather a species with their own culture and history?

Gnoll Tales is a collection of twelve myths and folktales in a world rich in magic that offers a different view on gnolls. Join the druid Ingot as he regales with stories ranging from his people’s legends and gods to tales of gnolls simply living their lives.

What you get is 12 delightful stories. Some are just nothing, other filled with joy while still others death. It was a pure pleasure reading this collection.

To be honest I really don’t play RP games and had no idea what a Gnoll was even when I bought this book. But since I like to incorporate them into my own stories and they are such unusual characters, unlike any I have seen before.

So what do I give it… A very solid 10 out of 10

Frankly anyone who loves RPs, or a furry looking for short stories will love this book

Furry Times at Fur Squared 2025

In some 19 days and counting I will be at Fur Squared. For the record my 1st time there, and my 1st time ever in Milwaukee. My trip is all planned, I have a place to stay in the main hotel. I also will be running my 1st panel ever. Unsure how it will go, but it could be fun.

I will be reporting on everything like usual. Except this time I will have more than just 1 or 2 places. I can see why Fur Squared is so loved by furries… at least local ones. Plenty of restaurants, $15 per meal or less. A Walgreens, and a couple of museums. The Harley Davidson one I really want to see. Best all all of this is well within walking distance. So finally no Uber or Lyft. It’s only 4 blocks to the Harley museum from the hotel.

As far as the schedule, loads of stuff to see and do, and even a Night Market. Not to forget make videos, somewhere around 10, plus tour videos, and my Vlog I am taking extra devices just in case. Plus my power bank and cables.

Iggy and Alkali at the same con it will be so much fun. Plus 2 Whose Lion. I really miss those, MFF didn’t have 1.

First real con suite outside of IFC. Furry Migration has one, but it is not the greatest. The one at Fur Squared has gotten a lot of praise over the years. I swear a couple of furries told me they did not have to buy food. They lived off of the con suite…. we will see.

There is also a Sponsor’s Dinner. Super Sponsor here and I am going

I was surprised there really isn’t much talked about Fur Squared. Oh sure the usual things, meeting furries and hugs, taking tons of photos. BTW if any of my readers need a photographer at F2. I am available for FREE and you might get a free meal. My name on my badge Justin Jackalope.

I’ll explain why Justin Jackalope after the con. It’s a bit complicated.

But getting the actual layout of the hotel, Registration. I could not find a single photo or video of Reg past, or even a line. Then there is this extension to the convention center. Where Reg, Dealers, and the 2 stage is located. I figured out where everything is. But nothing online save the official map.

Fur Squared to me right now must be one furries are enjoying to take a photo. I found very few.

Then there is the 3rd Street Market, essentially a food court. I heard that it was also a hang out for fursuiters. Not a single photo or video found. But yet they are suppose to be fursuit friendly. Okay I am puzzled.

I guess I am at the part what I hope to get out of this.

To have fun and meet furries. I know a few furry friends of the past will be there. But after 7 years, it’s hard to say how they react.

I also hope I don’t have equipment issues, like that Fursuit Parade at Furry Migration. No Fursuit Parade here, although there layout makes it possible.

It will be fun either way

The Fuzzy Princess Book Review

Seriously I forgot I picked this up at MFF last year and brought it with me when I had to see my doctor and what I found. Blew me away the humor and brilliance of this story of 3 anthro cats living with a family of humans. Their brother who can fly and their bear butler is totally delightful in this family-friendly story. I really didn’t even know this was the collected work of a webcomic The Fuzzy Princess check it out, it is worth getting.
