The Ember's Fall - Chapter 6 excerpt

#FantasyIndiesMarch 7

Despite her best efforts, Janine sometimes lets bits of her mysterious past leak through.

Now that's a good way to start my weekend!

It's Saturday! 📺
Post a cartoon TV series you love.

Janine has a medium build, in good shape from regular exercise.

She has wavy hair that's black like smoke and skin that's oddly pale for the amount of sun she gets.

She wears a monks uniform, and her arms & legs are wrapped in bandages, from her finger/toe tips to just below the elbows/knees.

I'm half crazy, all for the love of you... Digital Circus Episode 8 drops March 20th

I know what I'm about.

Well, I'm hoping for some good fortune at a trivia night tonight.

The last one we went to, we came in second after we lost the tiebreaker.

It's always the sports category that gets us. We only have one sports person.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

The Spire has finally reawakened. ⚔️

Slay the Spire 2 is out now in Steam Early Access!!

New characters, enemies, environments, a co-op mode & more await you in this sequel to the iconic roguelike deckbuilder. Join the journey now to be a part of the Spire's next evolution!

Showtime.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

How many fast food CEOs do we have eating burgers now, four? Is this how the Franchise Wars start? Are we in the Demolition Man timeline now?

Anytime the protagonists are in a fight (fairly frequent), there's risk.

At one point, Janine dangles from a rope to try & repair a bridge via magic.

And they all try to cross a sea before a magical storm makes it impassible.

I know I sound crazy but instead of spending a billion dollars in a day to kill people in another country we should try spending a billion dollars in a day to help people in this country.

No, their intended role was effectively taken over by another character who I felt could do the job better.

There was a side character I fully worked up & intended to write in, but the time was just never right so they don't make an in-person appearance.

This happens in my D&D campaigns from time to time too. There have been NPCs I intended to be recurring but the time was just never right for a return.

You manifested it early. The official #Lanterns teaser is here. Coming this August.

Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?

I'll write in order initially, but will absolutely jump back to add in new information or whole scenes once I have what comes next nailed down. Love me some foreshadowing.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

This probably applies to Vayris more than any of the other protagonists.

He likes to gamble and will absolutely cheat, so you could say he believes in self-manufactured luck.

I was NOT expecting Dungeon Crawler Carl to reference Tammy and the T-Rex, one of my personal favorite works of art.

I am planning another story set in the same world as my current WIP, set years later.

I also have 40-ish pages of notes on a story/series with a supervillain protagonist in a modern-day setting.

Not yet sure which of those will materialize first.
