Slow, Grinding Progress

A few updates

  • The end of Death After Death is in sight. I don't know how many of my Patron's actually read that satirical Isekai. That's only book one of course, I'll need to do a book two, but I need a break first to think about it. That will open up a hole in my schedule for the nex...

Ch. 26 - A World On Fire

The goblins tore through the soft underbelly of the county of Greshen for the next few weeks on their relentless journey to Fallravea. Wherever they went, smoke followed in their wake. Krulm’venor made sure of that much. He was overflowing with power now, even i...

Ch. 25 - A Ruined Life

Simon’s first thought was to panic, but his second thought was to do it quietly. He didn’t know what his situation was, or how much worse it would be if he screamed, so instead he flexed and shifted to gauge the strength of his bonds and looked around.

Turning the Page on 2022

Well, the week is over, and the year is over. Fortunately Steam saw fit not to put Dwarf Forge or Ixion on sale, so I've been reasonably productive between holiday activities. 

I don't really have a new year's resolution this year. There's nothing big I want to change. I'm actually pre...

Ch. 24 - Muddy Waters

Everything was in motion now. The swamp was used to having days and weeks to plan and decide, but for reasons not entirely within its control. One moment it was designing it’s first spirit traps, and commanding its dark messenger to lay a few of them up and down th...

Ch. 23 - Traumatized

Simon lay there for a long time, just struggling to put the pieces of his mind back together. He was whole and unharmed, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape from the flashbacks that kept springing to his mind unbidden. In the absence of the constant ...

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all enjoy the bonus chapter. It was the only gift I could give on such short notice. Hopefully I can improve on that next year. 

I hope you're staying warm wherever you, which is a pretty tall order with the weather as it stands right now.

Ch. 21 - Uncertain Promises

Kelvun removed the wide brimmed hat to wipe the sweat from his brow as he gazed out at the broken, brick-red badlands in the distance. The hat was ugly, and he’d refused it the first day because it in no way matched his riding outfit, but once it had started ...

Death After Death Ch. 21-22

(Author’s Note: I feel like maybe this chapter should be lengthened and split into two chapters, but I didn’t want to dwell on Simon’s love story too much. Let me know what you think. Does it need more?)

Ch. 21 - Just a Barmaid

When Simon woke up in the fresh air and ...

Progress Update

So, I continue to make progress on all stories and have at least a week buffer across the board again, which is nice, but not as much as I was hoping for. I had a killer headache earlier this week, so that set me back a bit. 

BUT - I have made enough progress to justify a Christmas pre...

Tenebroum: A Question of Directions

Last night someone asked on Scribblehub, "When will the lich get his own name? (Tenebroum)." I thought this was a very good question to ask. The answer is more complicated though. 

The darkness in the swamp is still distilling into its final form. It is flawed, fragmented, and not yet ...

Ch. 19 - Eye of the Storm

Thinking fast, Simon rushed across the room and brained the two that were trying to struggle their way through the gap in the boards. They just flopped there, like the world’s most disgusting cork, and their dead weight mostly kept the rest of them from coming ...

Ch. 19 - Dying Embers

Kruln’venor was disgusted by its circumstances, but that was nothing new. That was the first emotion it felt each evening, as it flared to life when the Burning Skulls added fuel to their cookfires and lit the bonfires at their shrines. During the day, when it was ...

Schedule Updates

Right now, two things are pretty clear: Most of my readers are Tenebroum fans (as are most of my Patrons), and due to working on something else for NaNoWriMo, I am slowly burning though my backlog. That won't be an issue. I plan to work a bit on all of my ongoing stories once I get over the halfw...

Ch. 17 - The Viscount

After the floodwaters receded the swamp focused most of its attention on the goblin tribes and their constant wars to the west of its domain, but that did not mean it failed to explore other opportunities. While the Gob...

“So there are actually other people here,” Simon said, testing his voice again as he lay on his bed. “Cute one’s too.” He smiled as he lay there. Sure, she’d killed him, but that was almost understand...

Mapmaking

So as I mentioned in my first post, one of my goals with this Patreon is to raise the funds to buy some mapmaking software. Ideally, I'd like to do several maps: one of the dungeon (obviously), one of th...

Ch. 15 - Words of Power

Death by suffocation was definitely on Simon’s top five worst deaths so far. It had all the helpless terror of drowning combined with the pain and horror of having his face melted off. When he woke up in ...

Ch. 11 - The Leftovers

True to his word, most of Kaligos’ men died fighting, but to their credit they took down several times their weight in zombies before they fell. The swamp didn’t care. All the broken pieces were just spare parts that would be repurposed for other experiments. Wi...

Ch. 11 - Another Way Out

When he left the cabin that day he never planned on coming back. If that damn path looped around then he would just take a different route. Anything that got him out of this crazy hall of mirrors was okay by him. He checked the satchel on the end of his spear one ...
