…Huh. I thought that I had already put up ‘Heroic Measures.’ Weird. Ach, well.

Got a new subscriber, so everybody gets a new installment of my pulp SF serial The Bold Marauder. Remember: when we I hit $200/month, this is a permanent feature. For subscribers, so sign up today!

Somebody signed up to my Patreon, so another installment of The Bold Marauder! A new chapter, too. And I had to rewrite the entire dang thing when I realized that I was spending entirely too much time getting to the fight scene. I gotta work on that.

This would be a thing, right? Assuming that such conditions existed in the world, and people could be trusted by society while having such a condition, of course. It seems to be a perfectly sensible tactic to take in extreme medical situations. Although you could easily come up with a world where this wouldn’t be a viable emergency medical technique, either.

But it does give me an idea. Well. Another idea.

The title needs work; it’s a poem that came to me in the car. And it’ll work fine for The Bold Marauder. Which you should sign up for, to get more of that.

I do have a larger story in “Assembling the Party,” actually. I even know how it’d going down. I’m just trying to decide whether there’s an actual book in it.

Tonight we have:

• Part Two of the Smythe-Worthington time travel RPG campaign setting, where we look at time travel in that universe, and how it’s encouraging rampant sociopathic behavior!
• A short story A Bargain With Yig, where our hero finds himself… oh, that would be telling!
• And the microfiction Root Access, which looks into species-variant thaumatology!

And to think: for a mere dollar a month, this could all be yours! Well, it’d still be mine, because intellectual property laws. But I’ll let you look at it for a buck a month.

I’m trying to get this month’s story to work, and I don’t like it in its current iteration. If you’re a Patron, feel free to take a look and critique. I’m writing it for you guys, after all.

Why not? Labor Day is a holiday, and every day is a holiday when you subscribe to my Patreon. And holidays when you subscribe? Why, the awesomeness that gets generated then can only be dimly perceived. Through sunglasses. And that thing you do with the pinhole and the paper during an eclipse.

So sign up today! Because… eclipse. Or something along those lines.

‘Zero-Sum School of Magery’ simply isn’t very nice. Sorry about that. It happens.
