While I wish I could spend my life writing, I do work 40h a week at my day job, and there had been an emergency there and as I am the health and safety officer (I think that is the En...

Patreon rewamp and new content coming!

Alrighty!

After having slept on it, I think that I have managed to work out a new Patreon structure that will give people content and give me some much-needed brain boost.

You see, I am in editing hell. It's exhausting, slow, and meticulous. It's necessary, but it is also not what dre...

Important news about tiers!

Well, I've got some bad news.


I am going to have to change this tier up due to licensing issues. I thought that I was following all the rules for Choicescriot, but it turns out I had misunderstood part of it, and I can no longer provide access to the alpha I am working on.

The World of Fallen Hero

In order to understand the Fallen Hero world, I must first mention some of the changes that underpin it.

1) On average, Europe's colonial adventures collapsed faster. While in our world, many remained colonies into the sixties and seventies, that dynamic broke down in the twenties ...

August spoiler Q&A

how did HG experience the aquarium memory? Did their consciousness remain in the "real world" or did they also end up too deep into the memory, like Sidestep seemed to? Did they manage to catch glimpses of Sidestep's own memories or were they too hazy for HG to understand? How did that wh...

QnA for June (spoiler version)

When and how did Ortega and Hollow Ground meet each other? Did Charge suspect (or was aware of) HG's real identity at the time? Does HG knows why they couldn't thread Ortega? Did they felt something off (like the static for Step) while threading Charge, or they realized that their powers ...

QnA June (spoiler version)

Could Step technically cover up the tattoos with latex and/or body paint/makeup?

Not for long, it flakes off, a lot more so than on the surrounding skin. But for very short occasions, it can be done.

Lore poll! Make your voice heard.

So, according to the last poll, the majority of people wanted more posts about the Fallen Hero world. I love that, I am filled with useless trivial facts and details that will probably never make it into the game. Some things I know everyone wants are slightly spoilerish until Retribution comes o...

New Fallen Hero Retribution update!

So, a new update here. Bugfixes, some path changes, added content in places and more grammar and language fixes. I've been poorly lately, hopefully that's been resolved now after an emergency visit to the doc. If only the birches can be done procreating I might get back on track.
