Patreon!‘Deep They Delved, Once’ is a Fermi Resolution story, but it hasn’t jelled yet. Maybe this week.

Book of the Week: …You tell me.
My brain is goop. It was a long, and ultimately disappointing day, and I need sleep. Tell me what I should be reading tomorrow!
Well, that could have gone better.
It has been a bad year for in-person sales.
DARK HISTORY is now available at DriveThruRPG!
DriveThruRPG did not send me a notification that DARK HISTORY was up and running, but it looks like it’s available for purchase (it’s also showing up here). This is 36 pages of generic spooky goodness, system-agnostic, ranging from locations to artifacts to adventure seeds. And just in time for Halloween, thank God.
Check it out today!

PS: There’s a lot of modified clip art! I swear to God, next time I’m just going to get my kids to do some, and teach them some valuable life lessons about deadlines and PitA clients in the process.

Tweet of the Day, I Don’t Know How I Missed This edition.
It’s got that peculiar clarity you get when you see an observation that is insanely obvious. In retrospect. I mean, I didn’t see it for myself, now did I?

New @HPLHS DART title drops.
THE TEMPLE. Should be fun.
Well, I’m sure at *some* point DARK HISTORY will be available.
I like DriveThruRPG generally, but their approval process needs more obvious benchmarks. I think it’ll be available by Monday, but I can’t really confirm it yet. Guess we’ll see.
I’m mildly pleased with the cover, though. It’s the best clip art no money whatsoever can buy make himself!
10/11/2024 Snippet, CALL OF THE MOON-BEASTS.
Needed some action/drama.
Patreon!“Fine. I’m in shock.” Clumsily — too clumsily — Tobias pushed himself up to a sitting position on the bed. “Or maybe it’s a stroke too small for you to deduce. It’s suddenly hard to move. Like I have to push harder to get my arms to respond.”
.Interesting. How is your fine motor control?
Tobias rubbed his fingers. “Huh. That’s not so hard.”
Excellent. Pick up something, and drop it.
Tobias eyes’ widened as he realized what Asenath was implying — but he grabbed a pillow on the bed, brought it to eye level, and let go. It fell fast. A little too fast.
I estimate twelve feet per second, squared. A bit less than the gravity of Mars. Asenath’s voice had a certain… hesitancy to it, almost as if she didn’t want to tell Tobias. I suggest that you instead concentrate on the air temperature and humidity, Commander.
