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 ne...
Tenebroum Ch. 26-27
Ch. 26 - A World On FireThe 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 if he bristle...
Death After Death Ch. 25-26
Ch. 25 - A Ruined LifeSimon’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.Nothing he found made ...
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...
Tenebroum Ch. 24-25
Ch. 24 - Muddy WatersEverything 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 the river, so ...
Death After Death Ch. 23-24
Ch. 23 - TraumatizedSimon 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 fog of pain ...
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.I continue to make goo...
Tenebroum Ch. 21-23
Ch. 21 - Uncertain PromisesKelvun 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 warming up, ...
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 BarmaidWhen Simon woke up in the fresh air and the empty bed of his cabin, ...
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 present to all my r...
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 a comple...
Death After Death 19-20
Ch. 19 - Eye of the StormThinking 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 through. He ...
Tenebroum 19-20
Ch. 19 - Dying EmbersKruln’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 slowly reduc...
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 half...
Tenebroum Ch. 17-18
The next two chapters will post on 11/28!Ch. 17 - The ViscountAfter 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 Goblins warred, and th...
Death after Death Ch. 17-18
The next two chapters will post on 11/28!Ch. 17 - Lost in Translation“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 understandable. That sort of ...
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 the expanding domain of the lich, and one of [Censored due to Spoiler]. The above is a rough id...
Death after Death Ch. 15-16
Enjoy the next two chapters. New post on 11/14/22!Ch. 15 - Words of PowerDeath 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 his bed though, he wa...
Tenebroum 15-16
Enjoy the next two chapters of Tenebroum! Next post of 11/14.Ch. 15 - Solovino’s Last SongFor almost a month, Louven Solovino had finally known peace again. The dreams had stopped almost completely, and for the first time in recent memory, he’d sung all the verses of a particularly bawdy song to...
Tenebroum Ch.11-14
Ch. 11 - The LeftoversTrue 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. With the tribe...
Death After Death Ch.11-14
Ch. 11 - Another Way OutWhen 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 last time to...
