I love when Peter and Clort hang out. This scene has it all, food, Ustaen language, rumors of the wider world. We don't have many percentages in Nelbrea, so subbing in "half" here.

Peter's parents were both killed before he'd formed many memories with them. Will he ever learn the truth of their demise? #wipsnips #fantasywriting #fantasyauthor
He's big on eating! In the later parts of his story, Peter does do a lot of home cooking, though, after all the fighting and adventure has settled down.
The concept of scrying isn't unheard of in Nelbrea, Peter understands it pretty easily. Once he learns that he can tell it any food, and it will give him a recipe, he locks in. He actually likes the rambling slice of life blog posts that go with them.

Rallo shines in part 2, the flashback sequence. Many characters in Nelbrea work out, but Rallo has a more specific philosophy.

A consequence of being a writer in my down time, is that there are certain times of year when I don't have much of it. Most days out of the week, I work in a bookstore, and this is a busy time of year. We'll get back to our regular dailies soon!

This is not writing related at all, but it's been an ongoing project for many years, and truly won't ever stop. This is my Green Lantern collection, organized, and filed for the first time ever.

At the end of Book 1, Peter starts assembling his party. The story is an ensemble, even if it takes a while for the whole group to arrive. At the end of the first book, four of the nine are together, and the stakes grow monumentally higher.

Morning.
Global doesn't appear at all in The Relic in The Fortress, so I've chosen this passage here that discusses a map in Bishop Dredd's office. The world of Nelbrea is quite large, and we've visited very few of the locales on it. This passage, early in book 1, hints at the scope.

Nelbrean firearms, or "magearms" fire bullets propelled by dense affinity infused crystals. Peter's is red, Feummic, and has loud, concussive, damaging slugs. In this scene, we see Peter say the line that inspired this entire section.

Peter is a genuinely nice guy.

Utah Carol by Marty Robbins. Peter likes a hero story, and he likes an everyman story, and this song is about a heroic everyman. Peter is also really moved by tragedies, and this song is absolutely tragic.

@labbarb.bsky.social I would check with @mikemyersbrunch.bsky.social if he made any recent purchases.
Lol.

Peter spends all day making a family style platter of Porc d'Rouj. Sweet, tangy chunks of slow braised pork shoulder glazed in a fiery red pepper based glaze. Smoky, sweet, and comforting, it's served over long grain rice, and crispy fried onions. He scorches the rice.

You guys wanna see my Green Lantern collection? It's a little dusty and crowded these days, but I love it.

I'm Jonah, a jRPG enthusiast, and Nelbrea is inspired by the Suikoden series. The ensemble cast, the themes of rebellion and community, even the morally grey allies, and the idea of everyone having a story all comes right from Suikoden. Nelbrea began as a game concept homage to it!

No! I can't take the waiting.

thank you! As a lifelong foodie, we try to make many of our kitchen/food scenes (which are plentiful) lively, and sensory. If someone mentions a recipe, or dish in the text, you can bet there's a recipe written in the notes to make it in real life.

Briefly thought I lost a Kickstarter backer!😬
Fortunately, I just don't remember how to properly count.😌
Moral of the story: back my comic on Kickstarter right now! (thanks)😁

I'll be doing an online workshop on character creation and development for Blue Stoop on December 7th! Interested? Register and pay here: www.bluestoop.org/classes/p/nk...
In addition to The Relic in The Fortress, we are quietly working on a cookbook featuring recipes from Nelbrea, titled "The Affinity of The Hearth". The kitchen is a special place to both myself, and @rob.nelbrea.com, when we aren't writing together, we are cooking together.

Not my favorite news of the day.
I decided to share the rest of Peter and Auri's conversation today. I think it's a nice moment for Peter, and the punchline makes me laugh every time. Auri is charming.
