An enraged female elf swinging a greatsword seemingly made of light. Her long black hair, which is often styled in a neat bun, has been completely unraveled. A slashing wound runs along her torso, revealing a chasm inside her body where flesh and organs would have been. Strings of blood hang from the chasm resembling a mangled, flowing lace skirt.

Absolutely incredible.

Paperback of Fallen Destiny in front of a pile. The cover features a lovely demon lady with horns sitting on the steps in front of a door with a red pentagram behind her. Beautiful cover made by Alison Flannery.

#Booksky, if you're looking for a cozy urban fantasy with a touch of horrormance, my novel, FALLEN DESTINY, is now available: mybook.to/FallenDestiny 😈

Kirkus Reviews gave FALLEN DESTINY a GET IT verdict!!

It's also been nominated for a 2026 Small Spec Book Awards in the fantasy category.

God damn, these people have never had a real struggle in their life.

couple statements so my beliefs are clear:

- if you decide you’re trans, then you’re trans.

- neopronouns & xenogenders are hella cool.

- everyone should be able to get HRT if they want.

- you don’t need to medically transition or have dysphoria to be trans.

- liberation not assimilation.

Still no statement from @repbradsherman.bsky.social on the attack in Iran and deaths of dozens of school children. Let's go to his office and get a look at his thought process...

Gosh make Olivia talk about music?

Gilded statue of Buddha meditating, intensely emaciated

Next time a white guy pretends that Buddhism is all love-and-light spirituality that is magically free of normal religion things like "consumerism" and "hypocrisy" I'm just gonna show them the fact that they made an image of their spiritual leader spiritually starving and COVERED IT IN GOLD.

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing: Hey Evil Hat team, Promised this is the last time you’ll hear from me. We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend. I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can. Want in before we close it up? Best, [redacted] And then our reply: Hi [redacted], We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games. In short, it's not "free work" it's theft. Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit. -Tom

sometimes you have to be clear about your values

Classic vampire that needs an invitation to enter your house.

Vampire whom if invited must be a good guest up to and including protecting the host. Because hospitality.

Both get invited to the same house the same night.

Commence festivities.

Texas is so diabolical.

Using vouchers to subsidize the rich while defunding public schools. Then when those schools inevitably close, what do they do?

Turn it into a fucking police training center.

oh and fuck jesse singal, an obsessive anti-science creep using connections and networking to prey on vulnerable children like someone else we've been hearing a lot about lately. one day soon it will be a social stain to have been associated with him, too

Excited to see Braverman take Reform's new "SHOULD Asian women be allowed to vote, though?" attack line out on the road

On the one hand, this is insane and someone could get killed.

On the other hand, Whiskey Pete Hegseth, and Kristi Noem, who keeps whiskey on the bar of her fuck bunny deportation plane, appear to be in a shooting war. 🍿

the live reaction from the people listening is INSANE LMAO

I’m actually dying at her defense

“It unmuted at the exact moment when all the context was removed that was showing I was referencing historical racism!”

In a setting where adventurers are all magic but "martials" channel that magic into physical enhancement and impossible skill... which styles of magic would have the worst of the following 'cause they are all okay at it so no specialist needed?

- Warrior
- Crowd Control
- Healer
- Utility
- Damage

But what of his life? Did he accomplish any useful thing? Was he, in his day, of any dignity as a man, and of any value to his fellow-men? I doubt it. Bryan, at his best, was simply a magnificent job-seeker. The issues that he bawled about usually meant nothing to him. He was ready to abandon them whenever he could make votes by doing so, and to take up new ones at a moment's notice. For years he evaded Prohibition as dangerous; then he embraced it as profitable. At the Democratic National Convention last year he was on both sides, and distrusted by both. In his last great battle there was only a baleful and ridiculous malignancy. If he was pathetic, he was also disgusting. Bryan was a vulgar and common man, a cad undiluted. He was ignorant, bigoted, self- seeking, blatant and dishonest. His career brought him into contact with the first men of his time; he preferred the company of rustic ignoramuses. It was hard to believe, watching him at Dayton, that he had traveled, that he had been received in civilized societies, that he had been a high officer of state. He seemed only a poor clod like those around him, deluded by a childish theology, full of an almost pathological hatred of all learning, all human dignity, all beauty, all fine and noble things. He was a peasant come home to the dung-pile. Imagine a gentleman, and you have imagined everything that he was not. The job before democracy is to get rid of such canaille. If it fails, they will devour it.

I can think of no better eulogy to summarize the life of Donald Trump than these words from H. L. Mencken's obituary for William Jennings Bryan, published July 27, 1925. I doubt I could improve on them.

You should all send me free review copies of your games; i promise i'll only sell them afterward if i think they're shit or enough time has passed that i forget they were review copies.

Well, hell. That is an effective pitch for a certain target audience.

It’s me.

I’m that target audience.

(Oh, and hell yes. There’s an audio version. Credits SPENT.)

"In 1988, before X-Files, before The Sixth Sense or the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show, and before Vampire the Masquerade, there was Beyond the Supernatural."

- From "The Back Story Behind BTS-2", Beyond the Supernatural Second Edition, page 7

Just a reminder. Dracula is not just an urban fantasy, it is also a techno thriller.

Bram Stoker stuffed it full of new tech like blood transfusions, and phonograph recordings, As well as specifying hiring cutting edge trains and steamer ships at various points.

They've started invading my desk together.
