Seriously, ‘Rest Cure’ points out what I think is an under-examined wrinkle in the entire ‘personal apotheosis’ thing: why are we assuming higher-dimensional beings are just going to be blandly welcoming? We’d be popping in out of nowhere, with no relevant life skills from their point of view. I mean, sure, well done and everything with transcending your lower-dimensional prison. …What did you expect to do now?

Patreon Microfiction: Scorpio Five.
I dunno if ‘Scorpio Five’ is best suited for a novel, or a TTRPG setting. The reason I wonder about the latter is that if you run a game in it the players are immediately gonna want to leave, simply because they’ve been told it’s impossible and that’s just catnip to gamers. Search your heart; you know this to be true.
The August Patreon stuff is up!
Huzzah. It has been a month, let me tell you. Actually, let me not. You all have your own stuff to get through.
Anyway, onto the stuff!
- Fiction: Audition. …Yeah, you have to grade these people on a bit of a morality curve. I’m not all that fond of them, either, but: horror story.
- RPG Material: Resurgence, Part Four (B): The Empowered and Society. This is considerably lighter. Only a few more sections for this work, though.
Patreon Microfiction: It’s the Apocalypse When We Say It Is.
Patreon Microfiction: Crazy Money.
“Crazy Money” is about as close as you’re ever going to see me come up with an indictment of capitalism. Which is to say, not very close at all. It’s not that it’s perfect, but all the other systems are worse.
A new installment of THE BOLD MARAUDER is up.
As a reminder, THE BOLD MARAUDER is monthly, and only available for paid members. So sign up today! Only a dollar a month (although you can give me more).
I need some information about Substack.
Specifically, does it allow you to attach files, and/or have an archive of saved files? How do people using paid subscriptions handle PDFs attachments? Can it be done via Dropbox, or is there something inside Substack itself?
Hopefully these are just academic questions. Alas, hope is not a plan.
…Just how many of my Patreon patrons use the Apple app, anyway?
Is there some way to check? I mean, my Patreon uses a $1 base level, so it’s not as infuriating to me as it’d be to some creators. The subscription model is more annoying, but it’s more annoying to me. If my patrons don’t actually care about that, then that’s livable. But if nobody is buying subscriptions via iOS anyway, then why should I change at all?
Patreon Microfiction: First Contact.
“First Contact” is set in the same Unfiltered univers as GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND. …I really need to find a better name for this series than ‘Unfliltered.’ It’s a joke that I get, but possibly nobody else does.
The July Patreon stuff is up!
As I said, it finally gelled. Next month’s is probably going to be set in the same world as GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND, by the way. That should be fun.
Anyway:
- Short Story: The Real Thing. Wander the horribly clear streets of Lost Atlanta! A Tale from the Fermi Resolution.
- RPG Material: Resurgence, Part 4 (A): The Empowered. A bit of detail on the how the player characters are likely to be. Will there be interpersonal conflict? …Yeah, probably.
