Huh. There is apparently money in DriveThruRPG stuff.
I’m not breaking the bank on Tomes of Unusual Knowledge, but neither am I doing badly at it. At the rate it’s going, it might actually surpass my sales on “Pickman’s Model: A Romance” at some point. There actually may be a market for generic RPG material that can be adapted for various game titles. Go figure.

Watching ‘Pickman’s Model’ on Netflix now.
(Content warning on the show: gory as all get-out.)
It’s one of the episodes from Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. It’s… not what I was expecting. I don’t think that it’s bad, exactly. The director has clearly decided to start from the story itself, then go… elsewhere with it. The overall effect is tonally similar to the original story, but I can fully understand why Lovecraft purists might disapprove. I was hoping for a more faithful adaptation myself.
I should also note that I’ve taken a shot at ‘Pickman’s Model’ myself (see here). I flatter myself that it is a bit more purist, in a rather special sort of way.

Not gonna lie, though: my take on the subject is possibly a bit more aesthetically pleasing. …Well, not really. There is definitely a different aesthetic, though.
Book (Well, Short Story) of the Week: ‘Pickman’s Model: A Romance.’
Why Moe Lane’s “Pickman’s Model: A Romance“? Because it’s mine, it’s good, and I’m trying to push it. Every copy of it I sell (and MORGAN BAROD, later this summer) puts me ever-so-closer to being able to pay for a project I’m trying to fund. Buy the story, read it on Kindle Unlimited, do it however you like: it’s all good. I just gotta keep swinging at it, that’s all.
“Pickman’s Model: A Romance” is available for pre-order!
And yeah, the power’s back.
If you missed the ‘Pickman’s Model: A Romance‘ Kickstarter now’s the time to get the story. Ninety nine cents, one illustration (by Ben Fleuter), and it’ll be out in mid-July. Pre-order today!
Kickstarter surveys for my “Pickman’s Model” have gone out!
If you backed, you should be getting one via whichever email you used for the Kickstarter. It’s just to confirm email addresses and what name people want to have for the Special Thanks section: the “Pickman’s Model” Kickstarter was all-digital and limited-scope, so there’s no Backerkit to navigate this time. I should be getting the funds soon; once that happens, it’s just a matter of getting the final art, and putting it all together.
If you did not back, I am hoping to have the story ready for sale by the middle of July. Be sure to check here!
And the Kickstarter’s done!
No Backerkit on this one, so if you missed out, welp, it’ll be on Kindle Unlimited eventually. We funded and to spare, which was awesome; and the extra money will make it a lot easier for me to put out the next chapbook (tentatively titled DESCISIONS) later in the season. So, it went well! A big thank you to everybody who backed.
BEHOLD! A low-res preliminary sketch of the preliminary art for the Kickstarter!
My “A Proper Picture for my ‘Pickman’s Model'” Kickstarter is live!
Rejoice! And note that the A Proper Picture for my ‘Pickman’s Model’ Kickstarter is, as of the moment, strictly digital-only. Costs skyrocket when printing this stuff comes into play; besides, this is a short story we’re talking about. If we hit both planned stretch goals I may add print tiers, but no guarantees.
Hope to see you soon!
