I finished all the Horus Heresy and Siege of Terra books this week. I started reading them when I was 13 and only just finished them at 30. I genuinely dont know what to do with myself now. Except read more 40k books. Obviously

After years of putting it off I've started reading the Illiad. While I personally find the Mustering of Armies fun to read, I'm surprised no one has tried to condense it into something less clunky. Or am I just unlucky to be reading a version that is not shortened?

Book idea basted off the Last Ark from the VtM Gehenna books: a priest takes in an injured stranger and has to deal with the increasingly surreal events that follow from letting a well-meaning but ultimately supernatural vampire into your life.

Idea for a superhero story: the dark forest scenario from the Fermi paradox but with superpowers. No one reveals their true nature because as soon as you do, one of the others will kill you.

Our library has taken to putting a barrier in front of our door when closed (after hours, lunch time etc.). Yesterday a patron walked in while I was prepping to leave for lunch and said “sorry I didn’t know what the barrier meant, are you not open?”

While I'm on the general subject of "AI," let me just say that it's a real dickheaded maneuver to tell an actual artist that their work "looks like AI." Their work doesn't look like "AI" because they're aping what "AI" does; it looks like "AI" because the "AI" company fucking stole from them.

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

One of my favourite game worlds in recent years has been Dishonored. I’m currently trying to find a way to run a game on Pandyssia but can’t decide if I want to run it as a larp or rpg, and as a recurring game or a series of one shots.

Trump as Pope… I’ve played 40K. I know what happens when the head of the Administratum becomes Ecclesiarch. Goge Vandire’s Reign of Blood. I see nothing wrong with this. If nothing else I know how that story ends.

I cannot believe I am suggesting something AI related, but why isn’t Warner Bros. pairing AI with the Nemesis system? It feels like a no brainer since we are heading towards the AI hellscape anyway

After 7 years my beloved PC seems to have failed. I will be contacting the creators for replacement parts. Otherwise it may be time to get a new one.

Asked my Fiancée to give me a short story prompt: she wants Attack on Titan smashed together with Pokémon Concierge. I may be taking artistic liberties but I’m making it work.

Listening to Rapture Rising while adding details to my one-player Bioshock RPG (made entirely because my fiancée loves Bioshock and wants to play an rpg in it). Today is a good day.

28. Government Good?
Hell no! They are run by a undead monstrosity that sees humans as resources and pests. And beneath him is a class of evil mages that use Necromancy to power society in a way that makes regular people entirely reliant on them… wow I think I’ve figured out my story’s allegory.

27. Law MC dislikes
The current law against using sentient undead for all the various Necromantic services directly bars MC’s theory about using them being more efficient. The law is absolutely there for a reason, as MC breaking it is the inciting incident of the book.

26. Stability
Despite it feeling like it SHOULD be on the verge of revolt, the Undying Empire is very stable with its foundation of Necromancy dominating society. Hard to revolt against the undead ruler when every convenience you know stems from him.

“So this is what the world of the Lich King looks like. All this death and dark, and metal… I thought it would be brighter.”
“What?”
“The world. I thought he would have made it brighter. Like physically brighter. I mean have you been to his castle? It was so well lit.”

24. Officially the Undying Empire is a monarchy but the Lich King is so far removed from day to day affairs in practice the Orders rule as a capitalist oligarchy defined by advancement through necromancy.
