Nicholas Eames

I'm glad to hear you liked it! Thanks for reading it!

Book cover with a pale green background depicting a seated barbarian figure dressed in a finely tailored blood-red suit with a tear in the left sleeve and an eyepatch over his left eye. He clutches an enormous sword in one hand and a teacup in the other, which looks tiny in his clutches. He is almost daintily blowing the steam from his tea. In front of him is a table bearing a teapot and saucer, and scattered around it are the torn remains of several purple wizard hats. The title, KILL ALL WIZARDS, is shown in a heavy metal style font with the handle of the sword serving as the I in WIZARDS. At the bottom is a quote from Nicholas Eames: "Hands down the best thing I've read in years." The art is by Matthew Crumpton.

Just heard someone refer to the Fire Emblem games as "anime chess" and I love that.

Got a favourite Fire Emblem? Mine was Awakenings. Definitely wish there were more of them on the Switch 2.

This series currently compromises of two standalones, each focusing on a different band of mercenaries. Full of humour, adventure and action, this series is not one to be missed.

Our editions will feature;

Boy, have I got some news for you! Prepare to have your eyes exploded.

I hate when the cover of this Spider-Man comic becomes blisteringly relevant.

Nope, but I've heard it makes much more sense with all the DLC. Maybe one day, but I can't imagine myself ever playing a story-based game twice in this day and age, with so many other games worth playing.

*Starts his 587th Total War campaign* 😅

Right? Well, you'll get one in FFVI alright! And some of the series' best, most poignant music as well!

Another vote for 6 here. Absolutely a masterpiece. XV's heart is in the right place and it looks gorgeous, but as others have pointed out its story/pacing/final act are an incoherent mess. Only FF I've ever finished without knowing the bad guy's name. Like, at all. Still don't know who he was 🤣

Well, look what's arrived in the mail! I've heard a TON of great things about this book, which is about Sky Pirates and Found Family and by now you shouldn't care what else because those are two great reasons to check this out.

A huge thanks to @mauriceafrich.bsky.social for sending this my way!

Google Search: "how to disable Microsoft OneDrive and also erase it from existence and also destroy the person who invented it and whoever insisted on making it so goddamn difficult to remove for ever and for all time what the fuck thanks"

Anyone else?

Finished Persona 3 Reload last night. Don't remember the ending being that poignant--the music, especially.

And while I feel every Persona game gets a bit tedious near the end,I also think its core concept (summoning your inner avatar to fight demons) is one of the coolest ever conceived.

Wild game. Great outcome (as a Bengals fan).

That said, not exactly looking forward to our Ravens/Bills/Ravens stretch later this season 😬

Just playing favourites 😉

"The Cast" 😉

This right here, an upcoming novella from @jedediahberry.com. BY FAR the most "fun" I've had reading since I inhaled Fritz Leiber's "Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser" novels a few years back.

It's not every day an ARC arrives that sounds THIS up my alley, but today's book mail certainly does! Thanks to my editor at @orbitbooks.bsky.social for sending this along!

Hey! It's not been written yet, so it'll be a while. I'll definitely shout ALL about it when the time comes, I promise! Sorry it's taking so long.

Cover of THE LAST SOUL AMONG WOLVES, which has golden lanterns and stars and moons on a teal-ish green background, with a big swirly connecting them and a wolf with a lantern in its mouth walking on the swirl, and there's a silhouette of a woman with a sword in one of the lanterns.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!!!!

THE LAST SOUL ALMONG WOLVES is out!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting ready to jump on a plane for most of the day so it's a weird release day for me but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH IT'S LOOSE IN THE WORLD AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉

Dude.

Got some sweet book mail yesterday: a glossy, gorgeous, limited edition ARC of THE SCOUR by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social, which is being published this fall by @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social. Very cool. Veeeeery friggin cool.

Aw, man! Looks like a blast!

I’ll never get tired of seeing this beautiful human being. So glad I got to shoot the shit and eat brunch biscuits with @nicholaseames.bsky.social before heading down to Seattle for Worldcon.

Thanks for saying so!
