The September Patreon stuff is up!
And oof but it’s been a couple of days. I don’t even know why, really. Just has been.
Short Story: Chapter 1 of SHIFTED SANDS: I realized I was writing the first chapter, and that was a bit of a relief, really. I had already started the second chapter, and I didn’t know what had happened before.Ashes of Empire, Part 7a: The Post-War World: short version is, the world’s kind of tottering. Hope there aren’t roving bands of adventurers out there to give some kicks!

Tweet of the Day, Never Ascribe To Sabotage What Can Be Explained By Russian Incompetence edition.
I’m not an engineer. But I was able to follow along, and I gotta say: it sounds plausible as Hell that the Russians simply explosively fornicated the canine when it came to trying to get the Nordstream pipelines back up and running. Admittedly, that may just be my old Cold War reflexes talking – but we had those reflexive reactions for a reason.
I'm going to regret this, but what the hell:https://t.co/RirQ6xUQwU

The THE SECRET WORLD RPG Kickstarter Launch Video.
The Secret World RPG Kickstarter starts next week. Hopefully it’ll fund without any trouble, but obviously Star Anvil isn’t taking any chances. Here’s the launch video: it’s gonna be a great setting, I think. It certainly is for the MMO.
09/29/2022 Snippet, BUZZ ON THE STREETS.
Finishing this up! …One hopes. Finally figured out how to end it.
Patreon!Speaking of leeches, I ran into one on my way to breakfast with Lucas. We were gonna go over the scene fresh, once we had had some sleep; he didn’t think the statues were gonna get wrecked or sent far foreign, and neither did I. All the best buyers would be right here in town, and they’d all cut off their own right hands before they’d damage the hairs that weren’t there on the statues’ heads. So we’d have some time to figure out who took what; we already knew why and when — and I knew how, even if Lucas didn’t want to admit it. I also wanted to make sure Lucas understood that going on a bloody rampage wasn’t the best option, here. Adventurers usually get that friendly territories need a soft touch, but they also don’t like getting their stuff stolen…
It was at that point I got slugged in the stomach. It was a good, professional job, too: just the right angle and oomph to bounce me off a wall and knock over a trash can. Oh, and it hurt like a sonuvabitch. It always does.
As I tried to stagger myself to something like a fighting stance — I get hit a lot in this business, but I’m not gonna stand there and just take it — I heard somebody say, “Hit him again! Hit him again!” He had the kind of voice that’s trying to sneer, but can’t get more than a note above ‘whine.’
“That’s not how it works, sir,” rumbled another voice. One I thought I recognized. “If I hit him again, I’m just beating him up.”
“That’s what I’m paying you for!”
“No, sir. You’re paying me to help you send the Shamus a message. There are rules, sir.”
“Better listen to him, bub,” I wheezed out as I blinked away the tears. “It’s all in the contact he had you sign. That you, Luiz?”
Tweet of the Day, RIP Coolio edition.
There’s some wisdom in here.
