“Off to Space Once More” is not one of the glamorous magitech universes. You’ll get your hands dirty — I mean, like physically dirty. There are smells. But when you do the Procyon Run by the seat of your pants and the skin of your teeth, you can say afterward that you’ve done something.

The latest installment of THE BOLD MARAUDER is up!
I regret that the latest entry in THE BOLD MARAUDER is a few days late, but it wasn’t a great weekend, sorry. Still, better late than never, right? And we’re getting a reveal, too. Hurray!
Patreon Microfiction: ‘Silent Running.’
‘Almost cracked’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting in ‘Silent Running.’ A lot of heavy lifting. Putting individual humans in solitary orbit for five years will result in a lot of psychological pressure. Depending on who you ask, it’s either fortunate or unfortunate that most of those volunteers managed to sustain themselves on a diet of pure rage…
Patreon Microfiction: MYOB.
The humans in ‘MYOB’ instinctively distrust any suggestions that they, well, MYOB. It feels unnatural. Besides, what if the war suddenly becomes their business. Best to be prepared, right?
Patreon Microfiction: They Get Dental, Too.
For some reason, it always strikes people as odd that bookkeeping can seduce a certain sort of mind away from magic. Magic can blow up, man. Nobody ever got eaten by a demon for being to unable to reconcile a three-copper shortfall. …And, yes: “They Get Dental, Too.”
The May Patreon stuff is up!
That story didn’t want to gel, for the longest time. Finally did, though.
- Short Story: Deseret Horse. Oh, hey, it’s Rex Fang-Blade and Tabetha Frei. Still not entirely happy with that title.
- RPG Material: Resurgence, Part Two: The Age of Wonders. Tried to keep it from being entirely happy-shiny.
The latest installment of THE BOLD MARAUDER is up!
And getting this done was ‘heroic effort’ territory. My eldest needed my help this afternoon, you see. Something he ordered turned out to have ‘some assembly required,’ which meant trips to get things like epoxy — and debonding agents. I’m lucky that I got anything done today.
Anyway: the latest installment of THE BOLD MARAUDER. Enjoy!
Patreon Microfiction: Horror Without Lovecraft.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Horror Without Lovecraft would be an entirely different genre. Or, possibly, subgenre. I mean, people do like to be scared, so chilling stories and novels would still exist. But the impact of “Supernatural Horror in Literature” in creating the horror genre as its own thing, independent of other types of genre fiction, was profound. So much so that modern popular fiction would look utterly different without it.
The April Patreon stuff is up!
Huzzah. It’s been a month.
- Short story: Flim-Flam Man. …That poor so-and-so. He’ll be horrified to hear that there’s a novel in there, just waiting to make his life miserable.
- RPG Material: Resurgence, Part One: The World Today. Just establishing the world, and what things will diverge from.
Enjoy! Or sign up! Or both!
Patreon Microfiction: Bean Counting.
I don’t need to explain ‘Bean Counting’ to you. You’re all humans. You all got it right away.
