Hey folks, my wife was laid off unexpectedly. We depend on her income with my own.

We are crunching numbers, but it's grim.

Not sure how we'll make it through November, let alone think about December.

You can help here, but we understand everyone is struggling too. <3

Promo image showing the cover of The Dead Man, A Mennik Thorn Prequel Novella, by Patrick Samphire. Image includes the text: It had turned out that, other than the odd curse that took me minutes to break, ordinary people didn't have that many magical problems. It was almost like the wealthy and the powerful of the city and their pet mages caused most of their own problems. Like if all the rich people and their mages suddenly disappeared, most the city's problems would disappear with them. 18 Days To Go

We're now only 18 days away from The Dead Man being published. A new Mennik Thorn story for existing fans or brand new readers (the miracle of a prequel!). You can be one of the first to read it by pre-ordering:

A composite image with text that reads "7pm, 31st October GMT+8, Stream Returning, twitch.tv/dragancaor " with a cut out photograph of Dragancaor, a nonbinary person with long blue hair & red lipstick in a black crocheted cobweb shirt. The background is a screenshot from Dragon Age the Veilguard, orange/autumn tones, of two trees shaped like people running away with one reaching back towards the viewer.

Many years later, I'm trying to dip my toes back into video editing. Starting out basic as I familiarize myself with DaVinci Resolve but here's a little 5ish minute book review of my latest read
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHH_...

two important notes:

1. when I draft these things, the actual dollar amount stays [math] until the absolute last second because a) y'all are wonderful and keep smashing goals and b) math is pain

2. we are 2 backers away from 269 backers, please let me be a mature adult and make a nice joke soon ty

I'm holding up the Clockwork Dragon miniature from Wizkids. In the background, a CAD program is open on my monitor, displaying a single blue gear.

A screenshot from CAD showing a multi-level 3d printable encounter piece, with heavy industrial elements, multiple gears, and two Tesla-coil like devices.

How it started / How it's going.

Doing the final print on all the pieces for this fully mechanical moving encounter piece for this Clockwork Dragon from @wizkids.bsky.social! Build video for it will be out asap!

A screenshot of the Tiny Bookshop game shows a tiny bookshop caravan attached to a parked car by a beach with a cliff rising in the distance and lots of kids and adults wandering around.

Soooo, I agreed to play "just 15 minutes" of Tiny Bookshop even though I'm not a videogame person, really, just to make my 12-y-o happy...

And needless to say, I've now spent a truly embarrassing number of hours today absolutely absorbed in it! ;) It's a very cozy new addiction.
