Something people don't always realize about RBRB is technically the system does not cap levels at 9. There is a 10th level character hidden in the NPC section, a hidden master, and this NPC's stat block suggests how progression works beyond 9th level if a GM and their group wants

Only a few weeks (maybe months?) ago, I had a reader asking/complaining about the sixty-year-cycle that comes up in xianxia and Chinese cosmology/mythology/etc. Going forward maybe I’ll include a link to this post in my responses to such comments.

Snagged "#1 New Release" in Children's Chinese Language Books. Sweet. Of course, as I mentioned, you don't need to know Chinese to enjoy this book. It's just a bonus for kids studying Mandarin.

Excited to announce that my children's cultivation novel, The Jade Pendant, is available for pre-order.

It's perfect for kids 8-12 (grade 3 or higher). The story follows students in an Elementary School where a large number of students are part of a secret cultivation sect. The idea is to introduce cultivation/xianxia style novels to young readers in an exciting manner appropriate to their age.

If you have kids, siblings, or friends with kids, this would be the perfect gift. It's also good for young kids who are learning Mandarin, as there are a few Chinese characters in the book (all explained in-text and in a glossary).

The e-book version is on pre-order now. Paperback will launch on the same day, and I have an audiobook (narrated by me) coming in a couple weeks.

As you can see, I'm using the pen name Mister B for this novel, as it's what Elementary-age students I've taught often call me.

I need this. Now.

今回のしまどりるゲーム会は、OSPREY社の武侠アクションTRPG『Righteous Blood, Ruthless Blades』（訳：義血無情剣）
このゲームのGMやるのは久々だったけど、やっぱ武侠が繰り広げる丁々発止の戦いが軽快に再現されてて面白いなー。

Hey xianxia & Er Gen fans! Hate to tell you, but C. S. Lewis (Narnia author) had some of the best xianxia tropes in print decades ahead of Er Gen 😂 (I came across these while reading The Silver Chair with my son)
