Actually, let me put up this short-short story now, because otherwise it won’t go up for a few days: From “Tales From The Columbian Alliance”. I’ve been contemplating writing fiction based on gaming worlds. And, also, how to keep it from sucking.
As always, my Patreon is here.
I gotta be up extra early for the VACATION, sorry.
I’m going to go with Danger-prone Daphne and the Dossier of Madness. Yes… yes, the Scooby-Doo will be strong in this one. Although, obviously, this is going to be a Mystery Gang where Daphne’s running things in proper teen sleuth fashion. Fred can still do the traps, though.
I know that folks have volunteered to help me test-drive the adventure, once it’s up… well, this and next week is when I’m going to block it all out on paper, or at least pixels. I’ll have plenty of time for myself, and I can’t binge-watch Netflix all day.

Basically, I am even now getting terrified that the Delta Green shipment will land on my doorstep when I’m off for a couple of days drinking rum punches and trying manfully not to correct tour guides on their 18th Century spooky American folklore. Seriously, Colonial Williamsburg trips a lot of the wrong sensors for me. I keep reacting to the people there likey they’re essentially out-of-period rogue SCAdians, but they’re not: and that’s more of a problem than it sounds, because it means that I keep assuming that anybody talking about, say, a phantom Arctic ghost ship will have the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree in that particular interdisciplinary topic.
