[nasoleil]

It is I, the literal most awkward human on the planet, and it's my birthday today!

I'm going to shamelessly beg that now that I'm one step closer to death, people help make my still-living dreams come true and check out the campaign for novel The Fractured Balance, a dark & gory science fantasy tale of Justice, or reblog!

[Alt ID: A short looping video of a white person with glasses, holding up a book with a red cover and the title "Everdark" and a holographic black bookmark. The person is making a weird face and sitting still except for their eyes, which are looking around awkwardly. There is text on the screen that says "It's my birthday! Please buy my books. Campaign Live on Backerkit! Campaign link." There is also a floating image of a book with a black cover, titled The Fractured balance, and a QR code]

The Witch in the Ruins

---------- BOOK RELEASED: PURCHASE ON AMAZON ----------

SYNOPSIS

A dark fantasy novella in which a mercenary is hired to hunt down a necromancer.  Marcella Lothaire is a mersinos, looking for work. When she stumbles upon the ancient town of Atavis, she discovers a violent witch has been sending her beasts to attack the town each night. Marcella sees the opportunity in this vile bloodshed and pays a visit to the local leader, a cruel and greedy man who will pay her a hefty sum to dispatch the witch. The promise of gold and danger is all the mersinos needs to hear. She has burned many bridges to gather the wealth she needs to go home again with her head held high, but the witch will not be claimed easily. Will Marcella claim her bounty, or be devoured by the witch of the ruins?

Amazon is awful, but I am forced to use it

Who sends someone an email to inform them they're getting a payout of less than a dollar this month? Amazon, apparently.

So, in the interest of not curling into a tight little ball and wondering why I tried to do all of this in the first place as I slowly sink into deep, dark, squelching dread...

Here is a link to short stories what you can purchase!

If that is indeed a thing you are into.

They are quite spooky, most are bloody, one has a horrible thing happen to a generally nice dude (that one is Don't Look, and if you're not comfortable reading about assault of the sexual variety then I insist you obey the title).

I apologize for my face, it has no excuse to exist, but it does and I was told to put it up...so it is there.

The campaign is over, but the pre-order store is open at the same link! So if you missed us, you still have a chance to grab some goodies!

I've been preparing for this for two solid months now and I'm not gonna lie I feel a little unhinged atm. But. It's done.

The BackerKit campaign for our second novel, The Fractured Balance, is now live!

A dark, gory, and philosophical tale following a former slave and genetic experiment as he ascends to the embodiment of Justice and gives the stuck gears of his stagnated civilization a big shove.

The campaign runs until September 26th, and backing will give you a chance to claim some special goodies like our debut novel Everdark, a bookmark, a doodle from me inside the book (everything here is my art, and no AI is ever used in either my art or my writing), a dedication, or even a cameo in the story!!

Here are just some of the characters you can get to know in the book (Pheonix, Ty, and Chani are all also in Everdark!):

If you like classic sci-fi like the Foundation Trilogy and Dune, fantasy like the Dark Elf Trilogy, or video games like the original Final Fantasy 7, we invite you to stand with Justice.

What is Black

Is it the other side of the deck stacked

White with a perceived lack

Some artificial slack

And while I sing in the breeze and all accompany me who can foresee the sheen on the guilded seam

Yes that's a rhyme and it spans a brilliant time

Did they ask you to be kind

Who failed in the definition

Meaning exquisite

Lies explicit

Were we all wishing

We are a people streaming

Flawed and gleaming

Do you understand the true meaning

Destiny thieving

5e Villain Arc 5

You know, perhaps I've been too harsh on 5e. Something kind that I CAN say about it is that it does a great job distributing Class and Archetype Features, especially at around Level 2. The best example for this is the distribution of useful statistical improvements that proc off a bonus action (not even a full action)!"

For example, some Class and Archetypes get to use their bonus action to give themselves longstrider for an hour. Others can use their bonus action to give themselves 19 Strength for an hour. Others can use their bonus action to give themselves multi-attack for an hour. Others can use their bonus action gain a temporary pool of 4d10+12 hit points. Others can use their bonus action to cast spiderclimb and give themselves movement about equal to their base walking speed. Others can use their bonus action and spend their spellcasting in order to heal 1d8 hp per level of the spell slot. Others can use their bonus action to give them advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks (you know, the best Skill in the game).

Wait... I'm getting a call.

"Hello? No, this isn't the number of 'D&D 5e's #1 Hater,' you've reached the number of 'I'm trying to be nicer to 5e for the purpose of this setup.' What is that you say. All the things I just described are not spread around the various Classes and Archetypes? The Druid gets all of these? JUST the Moon Druid gets these? At level 2? Now that you mention it, maybe I am D&D 5e's #1 Hater, because..."

This post is about the Moon Druid

Do you remember 5e Villain Arc 3 where I discussed in exhausting detail exactly how much shit the Beastmaster Ranger is? In summary, the problem with the Beastmaster is that the character-build shifts you character's action, the most important thing that they are going to do that round, to a weaker alternative for no real benefit. I argue in Villain Arc 3 that the reason the Beastmaster is structured this way is because the authors were concerned with 3.5-esque action-economy cheese.

And yet, the Moon Druid walks among us. Twice per a short rest, the moon druid can wild shape into a brown bear.

Odin, I don't know if you were asked this before, but what's your opinion on all your godly children?

I enjoy the company of my children. In my next book, Borson: The Life of The Aesir I go into great detail of my children and what makes them the gods they are.

when i want to support an author i like, i buy and preorder their books. but how do i support a tv writer i like? i suppose the obvious thing to do is watch their tv show. but what if it has been canceled? how can regular folks who are not in the business but just enjoy good tv writing support writers they like?

TV writers get money whenever you watch one of their episodes on streaming, or when you buy or rent a dvd or electronic copy. Even a cancelled show is usually streaming somewhere or available to buy or rent on Amazon.

In my case, you can also buy my books!

Thank you for supporting us TV writers. Much appreciated.
