'Nathan Burgoine grew up a reader and studied literature in university while making a living as a bookseller. His first published short story was "Heart" in the collection Fool for Love: New Gay Fiction. Since then, he has had dozens of short stories published, and despite being "the tall queer guy who writes mosly shorter queer fictions" novels have happened between the novellas and short stories.

A cat lover, 'Nathan managed to fall in love and marry Daniel, who is a confirmed dog person. Their ongoing "cat or dog?" détente ended with the rescue and adoption of huskies. They live in Ottawa, Canada, where socialized health care and gay marriage have yet to cause the sky to cave in.

STA Saturday — “Errand of Mercy”

Every Saturday, I’ve been sitting down and re-watching TOS-era episodes of Star Trek with the goal of finding ideas—what I’m calling scenario seeds—for Star Trek Adventures as put out by Modiphius (with the hope they’ll be useful for games or Captain’s Log for other GMs out there). Last week I missed posting—it was a long weekend here in Canada, and I had a massive bout of insomnia plus a sick pup

First off—thank you so much!

But, I’m afraid there isn’t a physical copy—it’s a novella-length work, and printing costs versus what the price-tag would have to be make that pretty much a no-go. If I reach the point where I’ve got a few more novellas See Full Answer

Okay, this was (a) adorable, and (b) actually quite tense, given the low-stakes, which mostly comes from how fragile your wee little mice are. A full review of the experience is up here on my blog for a Tabletop Tuesday, but the short version?

“The more words you use, the more untruths sneak in.”
Nathan Burgoine, Triad Blood

“It didn’t feel right to die in summer. Autumn maybe. Or winter. Winter was for dying. Death shouldn’t have a UV rating.”
Nathan Burgoine, In Memoriam

“Look, I've been doing this a long time. If I'm honest with you, then yes. The Families could have done both. The car thing is absolutely their style, like you said."

Luc frowned. "But you don't think they did it."

David shook his head. "No. Because you're alive. The Families wouldn't screw up twice." He left, closing the door behind him.

"If that was supposed to make me feel better," Curtis said, "it needed way more puppies. Or something from the chocolate family.”
Nathan Burgoine, Triad Blood
