The happiest of book birthdays to Asunder by @Kerstin__Hall, a standalone novel that reads like Sabriel meets Witch King!🔥

We choose our own gods here.

Also most of what’s good about it is “borrowed” wholesale from Thomas Ligotti.

Hate to break it to some of you, but True Detective season 1 fell apart when it abandoned the interrogation frame and the final episode made me laugh it was so bad.

draft done. longer than expected, still short overall. normally endings are written fast, this one took time. now to rewrite.

it's so weird and exciting to have a new thing that you made and you don't know quite yet what it is. but you get to figure it out. it's the best.

they all say they want a story set a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, but when they get one, then, well,

@meredithmwrites Honestly, bad art or frustrating art or disappointing or etc etc is so much more inspirational than the stuff one finds excellent. It really does set the imagination afire and should not be underestimated!

Það er sumar og sól en ég fer einn á Ölstofuna að lesa. Ég er gamall kall.

@gavingsmith I’ve only read the first books, (or omnibus?) I have to get the rest, I had no idea about that!

Your game sounds brilliant! I had a short stint of wielding Blackrazor in a recent game. What a rush! Ended up in an Orb of Annihilation.

[Alexander Dan @alexander_dan]

Adventurers and supposed heroes keep finding choice loot in dark temples, monster-filled caves, ancient ruins. Not often enough do we know or ask ourselves who made it and how it got there.

Recently I find I want a story or an rpg about the artefact, not the hero wielding it.

[Alexander Dan @alexander_dan]

@gavingsmith I really want to read a story from Stormbringer’s perspective through the ages.
