AS THE GOLDEN EMPEROR LIES DYING

07/14/22, Patreon Pledge Drive.

Spent the afternoon putting the entirety of the AS THE GOLDEN EMPEROR LIES DYING King In Yellow RPG setting together. You can download it here: this one, I made available for everybody. You can also read a short story based on this setting (“Le Roi Est Mort”) in my chapbook DECISIONS. That one, you’re gonna have to buy.

The August Patreon stuff is up!

This month, it’s:

OMBUDSMAN (The Fermi Resolution): a two-fisted tale of corporate responsibility and defenestrations! Complete with Scenes of Heroic Endeavor, for the Edification and Entertainment of the Managers and Workers of the Hershey Consortium.
As the Golden Emperor Lies Dying, Chapter 6: The Future: Not that anything involving the King in Yellow has an actual future. But if you’re playing a cosmic terror game, well, that’s baked in the cake, hey?

Gonna do different stuff in both categories next month, I think. Because I’m kind of slagged, right now.

May Patreon stuff!

Neither was what you’d call too cheerful. Or, perhaps, cheerful at all.

As the Golden Emperor Lies Dying 5: RPG!
Old Lou: Short story!

The monthly April Patreon items are up.

A little bit of schedule-squeezing to make deadline, but that’s OK. It’s good practice for me. As for the entries:

Chapter 4 of As the Golden Emperor Lies Dying. This broadly looks at how to go mad with SCIENCE! in Carcosa.
And REX FANG-BLADE AND THE RAID ON THE SLAVER CAMP. It’s a self-contained story. And the middle of a triptych. Whether it, the previous story, and the next one make the skeleton of a novel someday will depend on how much time I have to write it.

The March Patreon stuff is up!

The Wolf-Man of Westhaven. Short story, set in the Fermi Resolution universe. HP Lovecraft wouldn’t have liked it, maybe; although he might have, too. He always did like it when people mucked around with his ideas.
As the Golden Emperor Lies Dying, Part 3. This one, on the other hand, is pretty straight-up cosmic horror Hasturian Mythos-steampunk. If I didn’t have a full schedule right now, I’d be looking for an OGL that could handle steampunk and use it to expand this setting into something that I could sell. But the schedule is full, alas.

This month’s Patreon stuff is up.

Behold! The power of spite.

As the Golden Emperor Lies Dying, Part 1: Steampunk Hastur Mythos alternate history horror campaign setting involving me doing horrible things to Emperor Norton I because it’s horror.
Le Roi Est Mort: Straight-up Mythos fiction. It might even be grimdark. I dunno if people will like it, but I had fun writing it.

Spent most of the day finishing these up, but that’s the job for you.

This is the other half of the creativity fueled by spite. I REGRET NOTHING
