I just released my "Brief Guide to Writing Short Fiction." It's a solid guide to writing short stories and more; and has a special focus on Sword and Sorcery stories.

It costs $10, which, as a set of instructions to write stories you can sell, is rather inexpensive.

Like and share. That helps!

Outfoxed Review – Fox Patrol Gets Its Villain | Sarna.net Can Fox Patrol still be BattleTech's Saturday morning cartoon series in the face of real trauma and loss? Find out in Sarna's review!

I read Outfoxed, the latest from @swankmotron.com and Fox Patrol's first standalone novel. It's good, wholesome BattleTech for these trying times. My review on Sarna (slight spoilers if you haven't read it yet!).

So Supanova Briabane had a reasonably large Gundam this year. Which was nice.

I know we get far less detail than ISS operations, but it is a worry that seemingly all their EVAs include debris shield installations.

MechWarrior 5: Clans - DLC Wolves of Tukayyid

Welp. Guess I'm wrong again about the next DLC. But Wolves on Tukayyid? Yeah, I'll take it.

The possibility of seeing Waterly an d Focht in a cutscene, I'll take that.

I might lose some friends if I make a video on it.

This DLC does absolutely nothing for me. Less mechs, and less interesting mechs than Flashstorm.

A Lame story centred around a tired, overexposed Clan, that I'm sure they'll heavily reinvent just to not make it stale. This is lame.

None of the Ghost Bear character models appeared prior to Flashstorm, but I guess if they are focusing on Year of Peace breakpoint that at least opens it up to reverse Clans as well as they remaining big two.

So we know that there's another Mechwarrior 5: Clans DLC brewing, but what invading clan faction would you love to see? Artwork is from the digital artbook that comes with the Clans deluxe edition

The Fox Patrol needs to get out of this situation, hopefully intact! Follow their story with Outfoxed by Bryan Young, out now!

I have been in this fight since I was seven or eight years old ,Saw older kids playing battletech at the comic store. . Started hanging out with them when I could. 

 They let me roll dice and move minis . Been in the the fiction/novels the whole time but not always the game . Come back to the game in a big way recently  .

 But the fox patrol stories and particularly outfoxed makes me feel like a little kid again watching little metal robots on a paper mat . Or trying to read dark age in high school/ in school suspension .

That is to say makes me feel like a kid again. Then it makes me grow up and face the world we live in right now and without getting into it , it’s  a scary place sometimes .

The fox patrol along with the mountain wolves and other battletech stories makes me and I personally believe many others feel seen by them. Which is important the way things are now and more important is finding your family . And it’s not always the one you are born with.

No matter where you come from or where you been there are people out there who accept you and we will be waiting for you when you come looking for us . Can’t always promise things will be perfect . That there won’t be conflict or pain but there are people who will love you through it all .

That’s the most important thing to take away from Outfoxed.

Onto the fun stuff: Katie and the gang square off with the spoiled noble son of a duke in a fun , exhilarating and suspenseful story of found family on the run from people who look down on them and want to hurt them for existing . For slights real and imagined . And the whole fox family and some new friends are here for you in a story full of fun , pain , loss , hope and of course giant robots with really big freaking laser cannons .

Out of all of Bryan’s stories I’ve read this is my favorite so far . I say so far cuz I look forward to hanging with Katie and the gang for a long time to come .

Sarna Talks With BattleTech Executive Editor John Helfers In our ongoing Community Outreach series, Sean speaks with John Helfers, Executive Editor at Catalyst Game Labs, to talk about upcoming BattleTech fiction.

NEW INTERVIEW ALERT! In my quest to ascend Catalyst's corporate ladder, I found myself speaking with Executive Editor John Helfers. He was the perfect person to ask about upcoming fiction and where the BattleTech universe is headed, narratively speaking.

Sad news in the #Battletech community. I have been informed that Melissa Noe, the "Office Wench" of Iron Wind Metals and wife to IWM Founder Mike Noe has lost her battle with cancer.

May her memory be a blessing

Late Night update : I finished #Battletech #Outfoxed by @swankmotron.com .

This book is for us . It’s fun it’s smart and self contained but it’s about pain and loss , grieving and overcoming and hope against the terrible people and things that surround us and the power of found family and therapy.

Tough day for Cryptic STO team. We're losing two of our most senior artists, including Hector Ortiz, who codified the look of STO's unique 25th-century Starfleet aesthetic. The other is Senior FX Artist Chris Menard, who has been on the project with me for the last 15 years. We'll miss them dearly.
