It doesn’t matter what the power is. Technology, magic, theurgy, High Weirdness — if it can be accessed reliably, somebody’s going to find a way to simplify the process and “…Make Them Equal.” Which is a good thing! Hard on the people who used to have the power monopoly, sure. But that’s life for you.

The April Patreon stuff is up!
This was a month where I had to pick myself up by the scruff this weekend and stop messing around. Moral of the story: Fallout 4 is for people who don’t have novels to finish. Anyway!
- Fiction: The Strange Case of Webster Domaine. A Tobias/Asenath moon horror story! This was a Kickstarter reward, but very few people saw it, comparatively. Enjoy!
- RPGs: Artifacts, Chapter 5: Sample Colleagues. I almost junked this RPG setting early, but I decided to try to come up with interesting temporal flotsam. And it worked! Includes a cameo.
Patreon Microfiction: Mayswarms.
Patreon Microfiction: They Don’t Do Much.

Patreon Microfiction: Cold Irony.
That’s the ‘Cold Irony.’ It’s just elves, man. Freaking elves. And, trust me: they were all bad.
Patreon Microfiction: Ergognomics.
The theme of ‘Ergognomics’ is not unknown in science fiction. The entire concept of diffusion of innovation is really very fascinating; there’s a fairly close alternate timeline where I’m an academic who specialized in it. …And wouldn’t that world be weird.
Patreon Microfiction: Count Your Blessings.

A new (FREE!) installment of THE BOLD MARAUDER.
New patron, new installment of my space opera serial THE BOLD MARAUDER. At some point, I’m sure I’ll have to do these weekly. At some point.
Patreon Microfiction: Soul-Red Roses.
‘Soul-Red Roses’ suggests that not every supernatural manifestation is flashy. There are other implications, but I’ll leave them as an exercise for the interested reader. No need to pound a metaphor into the ground.
