Still trying to find a floormap generator.
I think my best bet is something designed for horror/zombie games, as they would have the kind of art assets I need for the RPG supplement. As a reminder: it doesn’t need to be complex, but I should be able to explicitly use it for commercial purposes. I have looked at the ones mentioned last time, but unfortunately they seem fantasy-only. I do need fantasy assets, but I also need post-apocalyptic ones. I seem to be in a niche! Yay.
The VENOM: THE LAST DANCE Honest Trailer.
Ehh. I liked VENOM: THE LAST DANCE. The trick was not to take it seriously for a minute. Usually Honest Trailers gets that… again, ehh.

The ‘Well.’ THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP trailer.
Am I old? I’m old, aren’t I? This reaction I had to THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP was also the old-person reaction to old Looney Tunes shows, wasn’t it?
No, seriously. Wasn’t it?
So don’t blame THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP, maybe. Blame the culture. Looney Tunes is merely trying to deal with it.
The obligatory “Nine days until Christmas discreet book-flogging” post.
Order from Amazon now, and my books will STILL arrive before Christmas! You have time remaining to give the gift of my words!

…You can also just buy stuff on Amazon via this link, too. Every little bit helps!

It’s not really been a great time up there. One hopes that’s been coming across.

“Commander Marsh is in charge of the Americans here on the moon,” Reithner told him. “I am not even his direct subordinate. You should talk to him, not me.”
The cleaver-man scowled at Tobias. “He’s not one of us. Maybe you are, maybe you’re not. If you are, you can tell us how to talk to him, get what we want that way.”
He might have said more, but Tobias interrupted. “Let me start right now. Harm the Lieutenant in any way, and you’ll get nothing you want.”
“You’re in no place to bargain, American. We have your life in our hands.” The cleaver-man reached out one of them, which looked more like claws than even before. “All I have to do is make a fist.”
“What I said wasn’t a bargain. It’s reality. And no, you don’t have my life.” Tobias leaned against the wall, crossing his arms. “I’m already dead. We all are. Hell, I’ve been where we go after all of this. You want to hear what it’s like? The void, I mean? Well. It’s dark, endless, empty — and, best of all: it’s not on the God-damned Moon. You think scaring me with going back is going to work? I’d sleep there if I could!”

The “I love you to death, Ciri…” THE WITCHER 4 trailer.
“…and it’s great to see you; but Geralt probably should have explained more about why you don’t let the girl go back to the village just quite yet.”
Am I buying THE WITCHER IV? Well, on the one hand, yes. On the other hand…

PS: Not on Amazon yet. Gonna be a while.
The “I want Civ II back” CIVILIZATION 7 trailer.
I do want Civ II. Every version of Civilization since then has not thrilled my soul. I doubt Civilization 7 will, either. Is this… is this the triggering event that will prove, once and for all, that I am old?
A new episode of THE BOLD MARAUDER is up!
Huzzah! This month’s installment of THE BOLD MARAUDER was a lot easier to write than last month’s, too. Then again, I’m not ill.

Patreon Microfiction: No, Really, Never You Mind.

No, Really, Never You Mind. Dryads in mythology can be incredibly touchy creatures. All nymphs and female nature spirits, really. If they’re not being in a killing mood, you probably shouldn’t try to change that by asking impertinent questions.
