Tales of the Moonight Maiden: Shenan-again (Exalted)

Hey, folks, sorry this is so late. Stuff got away from me, and in trying to get things back in order other stuff slipped, and... yeah. I still have one more post to do after this and then I'll be all caught-up, but this has taken long enough I didn't want to try and add a third one on and make it take even longer.

Also, I apologize for the groaner of a title. I came up with it early on because this write-up features some out-of-tournament shenanigans again, and I simply could not think of anything better even with the extra time I had.

Anyhow, in terms of personal announcements, just a reminder that the Print-on-Demand edition of Realms of Magic & Mystery is available. Also, in the last couple of weeks, I've read both halves of "The Kit Gloves Are Off" from Samhain Secrets: World Premiere on Blackwarren Books' podcast, Allora Public Radio. You can find the first half here, and the second half is available here.

And let's get to it!

Reminders about books and other things

Okay, what order to do these in...

Let's start with the time-sensitive thing. Reminding folks that this Friday, April 14th, at 8pm Eastern time, I'll be reading the second half of "The Kit Gloves Are Off" over at the Blackwarren Books Discord. As a reminder, you can pick up the anthology in which it appeared, Samhain Secrets: World Premiere, at this finely-crafted link. (It's always best to buy direct from the publisher, but if you must go through alternate storefronts, you may find links to those over on my index of published fiction.)

Now, the more recent thing. Realms of Magic and Mystery, a Scion Second edition supplement I worked on, is now available in print on demand. If you bought the advance PDF and you're getting Onyx Path updates via DriveThru, you should have a link to a coupon for a discount on the POD as if you'd bought the PDF-POD bundle (as well as a notification of an updated PDF).

Last, and most certainly not least, the Trinity Continuum Player's Guide crowdfunding campaign is going into its final week. "Falling Into Place," a piece of fiction I wrote, was posted as a preview here, and as of this post the backer-only manuscript previews have included most of the material I wrote for the book, with some mechanical bits still yet to arrive this coming Tuesday, the 18th.

And I think that's it. Enjoy and take care!

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Group Effort (Exalted)

Greetings again, folks. Sorry I got a little behind on last week's post. Sun willing, I'll be able to get myself together to get a little better about that in the future. 

Before I get into it, if you haven't seen/heard elsewhere, this past Friday (the 7th) I did a reading of the first half of my short story "The Kit Gloves Are Off" from Samhain Secrets: World Premiere. I'll be doing the second half this Friday (April 14th). It'll be over at the Blackwarren Books Discord at 8PM Eastern time. It should be noted I'm not simply doing some character voices, but narrating as well.

And on a less personal note, just another reminder that the Trinity Continuum Players Guide crowdfunding campaign is live over on Backerkit. They've already publicly previewed the fiction I wrote (for the record, you don't have to know the game or the setting for the fiction to make sense), and this Tuesday backers should get the actual game content I wrote as well. Which has me quaking in both anticipation and dread.

Anyhow, considering that is sending me down a mental rabbit hole when I should be getting us into this week's Exalted session!

Fiction available: Falling Into Place

Quick update, while the book isn't out yet, the fiction I wrote for the Trinity Continuum Player's Guide has been previewed as part of the crowdfunding campaign! Go check it out!

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Moving Forward (Exalted)

Greetings, my... okay, I don't wanna say 'peeps,' that sounds stupid.

...

Yeah, nothing's coming to me. Anyhow. Hey, folks. Sorry this is a little late, sleep schedule's been screwed up for reasons best not gotten into here, and while I was able to get this written up in time, I didn't have the time or energy to get it posted before the following session.

So, announcements and updates before I get into it:

This Friday and the next (April 7th and 14th) at 8pm Eastern US time, I'm going to be doing a two-part reading of my story "The Kit Gloves Are Off" from Samhain Secrets: World Premiere. It's going to be over on the Blackwarren Books Discord.

Also, the Trinity Continuum Player's Guide crowdfunding campaign is still going strong. I've already talked about the book elsewhere on the blog, but at this point if you don't know about it you may as well go to the campaign link. You can pledge and get a preview of the 95%-complete manuscript, being released in stages (and no, in case you're wondering, my material hasn't come up yet). As of this posting, the first half has been previewed and the entire manuscript will be available for preview by the time the campaign is over. Also, the Onyx Pathcast has devoted a pair of episodes to the book so far, with the first serving as an overview and the second focusing on creating characters with material in the book.

And now, with that out of the way, let's roll that beautiful bean footage.

Announcements, reminders, and such

Barring incident, this Friday and next (4/7 and 4/14) at 8pm Eastern US time (UTC-4), I'm going to be doing a two-part reading of my story "The Kit Gloves Are Off" from Samhain Secrets: World Premiere. This is going to be on the Blackwarren Books Discord (lemme know if that link doesn't work right), and I'll post a link to the event listing when it's available.

Also, as a reminder, the Trinity Continuum Player's Guide crowdfunding campaign is live! The Trinity Continuum Player's Guide is a supplement for the Trinity Continuum core book (though much of the material is applicable for other games in the line like Æon, Aberrant, etc.), with a lot of extra rules and setting material for the core game's modern pulp/sci-fi aesthetic.

And this last bit isn't exactly fresh news, but one more reminder that Realms of Magic & Mystery, a book I worked on for Scion, is recently out in PDF! It's a supplement about strange and magical places tucked away within the World, as well as assorted other pocket dimensions and planes of existence. As the term 'supplement' implies, it does require the Scion: Origin book to be able to use it, but if you're already into the game or have been planning to get into it, check it out!
