New Podcast! The Crooked Thimble Plays Iron Immortals Episode 001: Sudden Gendering

Together with some friends, we’ve started a Dungeon World game in the same setting as Seven Days a Servant. This week’s episode follows character creation and the building of the region where the game will take place.

The Crooked Thimble plays Iron Immortals using the Dungeon World System by Sage LaTorra and Adam Koebel.

In this session, we create characters and establish the world of Promise. Conversations about gender and the history of of names. Various nouns are thrown around. We establish that Texas is not Missouri.

Hey! We’re up to 20 followers! That’s fantastic! I’m looking to get a video up for the book sometime next week. So, we’ll see how that goes.

Thank you so, so much to everyone who’s followed and preordered! We’ve reached the recommended 90 day mark for beginning, and this story already has a head start! So, thank you again to everyone who’s shared on social media and made a point to follow here!

As it stands, the Geek & Sundry contest is only a couple months from ending, and thanks to you guys, The Misadventurers is in the top 100 out of 322 and counting! You’re all great!

If you haven’t yet preordered, please do. It would absolutely make my day!

If you haven’t yet read my latest chapters, please check them out! I intend to have the whole book up for preview no later than the end of this month!

Lastly, I promised all of you artwork previews, that will be included in the novel itself, via Tumblr. That is still a thing. If we can hit 25 preorders, I’ll be posting the profile picture for Henry. We’re 1/5 of the way to that goal! Woot!

Once again, thanks to everyone who’s supporting this project. You’re all amazing!

Until next time, happy reading!

Readers,

I wanted to share something very exciting with you! 

(That’s the extent of my Photoshop skills, sorry.) 

See those red arrows? Those arrows are pointing to the #1 Most Community Interest in Space Opera. That’s our Lucky, right there, sitting at the top of the pile. And that’s all because of you, the readers. Take a moment today to treat yourself to an extra cup of coffee, a donut, or something special. You’ve made a difference in the life of an author and the luck (no puns, I swear) of a novel.

Thank you all so much for your continued support.

Spotlight Update:
It seems like everyone and his mother has given this book a well-earned recommendation by now, but I haven’t thrown mine in yet. Considering how hard Jaye Milius has been working throughout her campaign, this book really should have hit full funding by now.

Terminus has such a simple, yet endlessly promising premise: in the future, technology has bridged the gulf between life and the afterlife. This story is set in a world where mortality itself no longer means what it once did. The entire world has been forced to make radical changes to accompany the revelation that one of the most universal and inescapable aspects of the human experience, the inevitability and finality of death, is now merely a new stage in an increasingly complex lifespan.

The premise is fascinating, the worldbuilding is brilliantly thought out and developed, and the characters manage to be highly relatable, despite living in a world so far removed from our own.

Currently, Terminus is only 24 orders away from reaching the Quill publishing goal, which it absolutely deserves. If this premise interests you, please check it out and see about supporting it!

Also, for Tantalus Depths, today is the last day of my special promotion: a free copy of this poster to anyone who orders or refers someone else who orders a physical copy of Tantalus Depths. Order by midnight, and you can still get one!

Hey Campers!

 You can READ CHAPTER 10 NOW: https://www.inkshares.com/books/sunshine-is-forever/book_segments/chapter-10-acbfdd

 456 preorders placed, 294 preorders to go…

 The amount of support surrounding my book so far thrills me. I’ve had orders from people I know really well, and from people I don’t know at all. A lot of my acting peers have really come to bat, and made me feel great about what I am trying to achieve. BUT we still haven’t quite made it to the finish line.

 I really do need your help. I know, you already contributed an order, and that should be enough, but you supported this book for a reason. Whether it was because you support me as a person, because you know my family, because you’ve seen me on TV or in a Movie, or you just loved the writing, you backed this book because you believe in the product. So, let’s get it into 400+ bookstores across the country! Let’s make one final push to 750 preorders! 

Please e-mail one friend, and urge them to preorder the book too! It won’t take you more than five minutes, and it will help me tremendously.

 You can also invite all of your Facebook friends to this event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1228625917161072/

 If you are following the book, and you haven’t preordered, I would really appreciate it if you would TODAY!

Thank you so much for your help in getting this far! I could really use your help with one final push to 750 preorders.

 You are all the best,

It’s Wednesday! That solemn day we set aside for Woden, because what’s better than celebrating the middle of the work week than a day to remember the Norse god of the gallows. Granted, he did some other stuff too.  But, yea! Wednesday!

 

As it stands, 81 backers have pre-ordered 103 copes of A Beast Requires, putting it at 41% of its Quill publishing goal. This is pretty great news, but the 91 days left in the campaign are going to go by super fast. I’m working on this week’s video right now, but after that, I’m leaving it open to you guys, the backers. 

So, what do you want to see me talk? What aspects or parts of A Beast Requires are you interested in? I’ll touch on any subject, or can spend time answering each question individually. Every backer put their hard earned money behind me and my book, so I figure it’s a good opportunity for you all to be involved in the crowdfunding crazy train. Let me know on Twitter, or by DM, and let’s see what we can come up with for next week.

Hello Knightmares!

With 30 days left in my campaign, there are just 13 pre-orders needed to fulfill Quill publishing!

Thanks to everyone who has ordered so far! I appreciate everything everyone has done to help. 

Now is the time for those last few book orders you’ve been meaning to purchase. Let’s not squeak by, merely hitting 250. Let’s blow past 250 and really put this campaign to rest! 

To anyone out there on Inkshares that still wants to get in on THE KNIGHTMARES and the adventure, grab a copy now!

Dearest Readers,
