It’s 1867, and this woodblock print depicts a battalion of Bakufu infantry on parade in Japan. Print by Yoshifuji. Yes, this is the sort of thing that fascinates me.

I could post about ICE being domestic terrorists or about how insanely stupid it would be for an American president to attack Greenland but it’s pouring snow outside and I think I’ll paint some Samurai.

I’m so deeply honoured that our #arcanaimperii novella (co-written with @slashnburnett.bsky.social ) is in this issue and with such a brilliant illustration. Wow! It’s a four part story and it will provide the reader with a new perspective on the Arcana universe. And it was SO FUN writing w/Emma!
The first print issue of GdM gave us a massive opportunity to invest in more art. Carlos Diaz and @oldragingbarbarian.bsky.social created 1-2 art pieces per original and reprint story. Simone Tammetta's first piece is of @phokion.bsky.social and @slashnburnett.bsky.social Reconnaissance Notes E2.

I just finished writing a ‘Big Idea’ post for @scalzi.com and suddenly I’m thinking too much about my ‘method’ which may be a mistake. I think I’ll do some editing 😉

I’m driving across New Brunswick and no photo I can take will do justice to the perfect winter train-set scenery or the minus 20 cold. Just wow.
I think it’s time for fantasy deep winter adventure

Painting miniatures is my meditation. Without painting I wouldn’t write… or much of anything else. 2025 was a great year for painting, suggesting it wasn’t such a great year overall*

At 2200 EST this year’s FREE short story will drop; it’s set in my new fantasy world (the novels are already written and will appear this year!) and you’ll have to read it to know why I have included this ca.1930 painting of a Tibetan monastery.

One of the most fun, most luck influenced games I’ve played! Last night @chrisryall.bsky.social and I played the first game of a campaign. Boshin War, Japan, 1868

Yeah. What Emma said. A four part #arcanaimperii novella. And while you don’t HAVE to read it to read ‘Aliens War,’ it will give you a leg up. Hey, the universe is complex 😊
Just wrapped up writing novella two of this year. This one is in collaboration with @phokion.bsky.social, and is being serialised by @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social. You should check it out!

In my #ttrpg I hit an actual 3D underground scenario under the hilltop Buddhist ruin. In terms of in-game tt theatrics, it was EXTREMELY satisfying. Role playing in an 1860s steampunk Japan…
