Sylum Advent 2025: Day 3 (Part 2)
Artwork: Malcolm Reynolds – Revolutionary War (AI)
Artist: Bj Jones
Note: This was one of the first that worked out pretty good
Sylum Advent 2025: Day 2
Artwork: Owen Grady & Tiny Terror (AI)
Artist: Bj Jones
Note: There are at least two series for advent – showcase the actor change and dragons with their hooman.
Sylum Inspiration: Owen Grady
Ghost/Darkness: Scientist
Owen Grady grew up in London, raised by his mother and grandfather. He heard stories of his father, who had left the family for Africa. He entered into the British Military like his father and grandfather, but after seeing only a portion of battles he knew it wasn’t his place.
After his mother died, soon followed by his grandfather, he set out to Africa to find his father. He wasn’t impressed.
Though he understood why he stayed in Africa. He fell in love with the land, the animals, the people. It didn’t take long for him to figure out about Vampires, especially as he had seen and heard rumors when he had visited the West Country about Arthur and his Knights.
He wasn’t expecting to be Turned, but when one of the Clayton’s lions lashed out, he was in the wrong place. Muldoon didn’t give him much of a choice.
Sylum Advent 2025: Day 1
Artwork: Tony as a Templar (AI)
Artist: Bj Jones
Notes: A quick personal note. It’s been a rough year – actually it’s been a rough few years – basically I haven’t had much time to do any thing let alone writing. So this year’s main focus was playing around with AI to get our Sylum characters into historical recreations. Now that’s not been easy as you’ve seen, the images just don’t quite come out right. What you’re going to see for Advent is some of the best ones. It’s a variety of characters, from famous moments from Sylum storyline, and also historical events. Also will be showcasing new imagery for the recent casting change. Oh and last thing – some will have a small video to show them moving.
So please do enjoy.
Added Note: Getting Tony as a Templar was a pain in my backside. This was the closest one, and it turned out to be like one of those religious paintings. My theory is Speed got it commissioned as a gift, first as a joke but turned into a true heartfelt gift.
Sylum Advent 2025: Starts Tomorrow
Advent starts tomorrow! There’s a lot of fun stuff we’re showcasing.
So make sure to let the artist and writers know your appreciation.
Also we’ll be doing Christmas Themed Coffee House Fridays & National Days!
Sylum 20th Anniversary: Evolution Download
EDIT: As there was some confusion. This is the original Evolution the one that got posted (ages ago). There will be discrepancies as none of the major changes that came about via rework of Clan War or remove of Annihilation has been addressed in Evolution. The main plot points are the same; The mutants, the main characters etc. If have questions on something you see in Evolution that doesn’t quite make sense or counters other stories – ping me and i’ll clarify!
Like Family – this is the whole document, all the chapters. There will be reminders to download over the next six weeks.

Sylum Christmas Card Exchange: 2025 – List Went Out
Okay everyone – The list has gone out!
If you signed up and didn’t get the list – let me know
If you forgot to sign up and wanted to – let me know
I’ll adjust the list today only … so make sure you update me if things need to be changed.
Change of Actor
As you know we have an unofficial Oh Hell No List of actors/actresses that we refuse to be in Sylum due to their beliefs that go completely against what Sylum is.
We also have a watch list of particular actors who have said and done stupid shit to make sure they don’t cross over that line.
Sadly – a number of actors ended up on that list after the last election. (I swear the amount of times I’ve had to hit the wiki to make sure someone isn’t on it – has been to frequent these past few months)
Now for the reason of this post. We’ve recently had to change a major actor who had a more than a few characters. This one had been on the top of the list for a while sitting on the line, then finally crossed it.
The wiki is in process of being updated, and during Advent we’ll be showcasing some fun AI Images to help re-imagine the new look.
So as of this moment, the characters: Jacob Frye, Joshua Faraday, Jack Ryan, Peter Quill, Duncan, and Owen Grady – plus the showcased Murder Bird – are now being played by Sam Heughan.
We will be updating images and vids in the new year.
There is another that has moved to the top of that list, but we’re still watching them at the moment.
