I've always been proud of my #TTRPG work, but the quality has seen a big jump in the past 3 to 5 years (in both prose and art).

25K on the new #Arrowflight novel, jumping into chapter 9. 40+ years of worldbuilding on the TTRPG, a film, a comic, and finally the first novel set in that world.

Wrote this sentence in the WIP today and it made me chuckle...

But it wouldn't be a proper religion without some strange and unsettling lore.

Sitting at just over 15K words into the #Arrowflight WIP, and haven't even begun the main mission. I'm loving the process of getting to know my MC couple and their weird connection. A very different process from my usual pulp adventure material, where 15K would be a quarter through the story.

Can confirm.

Renegades of Mars is back from my first editor. Just waiting on the second! The next phase of the AEGISverse is almost here!

Almost at 12K words on the new #fantasy WIP (based on the #Arrowflight #TTRPG). Feels nice to let the setting breathe a bit.

My brother Matthew would have turned 55 today, which is a surreal concept. His death at far too young an age was a tragic loss, and yet, he's always been with us - even with my younger siblings who didn't know him.

Love you, Matt. Always. ❤

Stupidly up at 4:30am, so why not record some #audiobook narration while it's cool and quiet?

Getting proofs for an upcoming #ttrpg release never gets old. Still need to fix a few details, but on track for a November release.
