It is a measure of this week that I wrote that out originally as ‘December.’
ARTIFACTS is a post-time travel setting, system-agnostic, and dedicated to the proposition that time travel sucks. I’m doing this group discussion thing now with folks who do RPG-related Patreons, and some of ’em signed up for free memberships today, so I figured I’d finally get it up there on Patreon.

What is the true message of ‘Season’s Greetings?’ Easy. Angels are terrifying. Sure, there’s some stuff about Christmas in there, but take this away from the text, if nothing else: angels are terrifying.
I wonder if the spelling in ‘The Seam In tHe World’ bugs people as much as it bugs me. Probably not. That’s why I added the bit about hearing the Capital H. I figure the scream would bug people in-universe just fine.
I don’t really want to do much with ‘Salamander.’ Sharon’s doing fine, and the worldbuilding involved sounds really, really… well, dull, honestly. I don’t have the chemistry and biology I’d need, sorry.
I’ve decided to keep the video, for now. I need to work on the Kickstarter video anyway. There are going to be two major changes, going forward:
That’s mostly it. It will still cost only a buck to join up, and I hope that people do!
The biggest change to the Patreon is that I have increased the number of Collections. You will now be able to see all the Fermi Resolution story links on one page, the free RPG game worlds have all gotten their own collection pages, you can find the poetry and Timmy stories, that sort of thing. I’ve also cleaned up the text a bit to reflect the fact that Patreon no longer offers goals. I’m keeping the current schedule of content and actually adding something to it, but the old language probably confused people.
Next up: a new video, and the aforementioned new content. Keep your eyes open! And sign up!
Nothing bad or cut back; it’s just that some things need to get revamped. I’ve never really updated the Patreon to reflect the fact that the old model of ‘get to this level, and stuff unlocks’ is dead, and that I need to come up with something more enticing. I suspect that this will at least mean more regular Bold Marauder serial updates, which is something I kind of want to do anyway. I also have to decide whether anybody really cares about the RPG materials. I hope so – I like writing them – but the goal is to grow the site, not shrink it. It’s a new year: time to make some changes.
In the meantime, feel free to check the site out, if you haven’t already.
Huzzah!
I kind of want, and kind of don’t want, to write more of “Two-Fisted Cosmic Cthulhu Tales!” On the one hand, it’ll annoy some people I enjoy annoying. On the other hand, I’m getting a bit old to be a pain in the butt. And on the squirming facial tentacles: will it even sell?
