Okay I am going to try and remember to post some art tomorrow (because I have some stuff I keep meaning to share), but if you doubt me, Bluesky (wise), there is a whole thread of fan art on the Dungeon Scrawlers/Writing About Dragons & Shit discord: discord.gg/EqNHR9aX
Been reading this slowly on my lunch breaks and really enjoying it. It's a series I'd love to see fanart of because there's a bunch of original species that I have a hard time picturing in my limited imagination. #booksky
A MONTH LATER...It's my birthday and that feels like a reasonable time to follow up on this. Because I want to. So if it's self-indulgent, GOOD. 🧵
Here's the backstory: The Books of the Usurper is published in the UK/Aus as an ebook through my agency for byzantine publishing reasons.

What happens if Havilar gets the Eye AND Hand of Vecna? And the Sword of Kas as a little treat? I’m sure nothing bad. (Bonus: her old hand, Lefty, can help!)
Twice-Cursed Havilar and Lefty the (Cute) Crawling Claw are now available in @idlechampions.bsky.social

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

I've said this about writing and art -- the goal was not to replace writers and artists with AI, the result was either:
a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less
b) replace them unsuccessfully and pay them less to fix the shit the AI barfed out
a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true.
_This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure.
