The latest THE BOLD MARAUDER section is up!

You can find it here. By the way, it’s kind of busy around here right now. My eldest is graduating from high school, you see, because he is a legal adult and everything and we are trying to coordinate stuff over the next two weeks. If I seem distracted, it’s because of that. Well, that and the fact that my eldest son is a legal adult. This just sneaks up on you, you know what I mean?

Tweet of the Day, There’s A Fine Line Between YouTube Contests And Sadism… edition.

…and this one goes beyond sadism, and is now hovering around the level of ‘war crime.’ To answer the question: I would not last one day. I would not last one hour. I would not do this at all.

The add-ons for the Fermi Resolution Worldbook Backerkit have been mailed!

The books have been signed, packed, and dropped off at the post office. If you ordered them as part of your add-ons for the Fermi Resolution Worldbook Backerkit, and if you filled out your survey AND provided a valid credit card, you should be getting your copies soon. If you have not done either of the latter two, you should probably fix that.

If you just want to buy any of the books now, they’re available on Amazon.

Enjoy!

Digging! It’ll be relevant at some point, I swear!

“The spirit life around here is weird,” Lucas offered. He laughed when I started. “What? It shocks you that I noticed?”

“A little,” I admitted. “You don’t bring it up, much.”

“I’m an elf hanging out in a city with a Dominion ambassador, Tom. I’m an Adventurer, not actively suicidal.”

“And yet,” I pointed out as we kept digging through the sand, “you hang out in a city with a Dominion ambassador. You sure you don’t hear the void calling your name, man? Maybe whispering sweet nothings in your ear?”

That earned me a bark of laughter from him. “Ha! Fair. Nah, I’m doing protective camouflage. If you had mages in New California” —

“Which we do not,” I interjected.

— “Obviously. But if you did, they’d be big, powerful, and loud. Loud enough that I don’t have to worry more than usual.” Lucas shook his head. “Shoot, you kept me out of the last thing, with the guy, in that place. The new ambassador doesn’t even know my name. I figure I’ll have plenty of warning, by the time she’s ready to work her way down to me.”

Fortunately, Lucas couldn’t see me biting my lip.
