It happened one morning just after I had finished my prototype Schematic for a revolving, lever-action, rifle that I was calling the Streltsy Revolving Autorifle thanks to its combination of ranged firepower and axehead under the barrel for melee fighting. I was making it out of a combination of ...

When we arrived at Hogwarts after a largely uneventful trip on the Hogwarts Express, mostly, we played a few hands of Tarocco Siciliano, Exploding Snap, and so on, while taking occasional breaks to talk, eat snacks, and, in the case of Tracey and myself, play guitar. I'd been practicing over the ...

Ironmonger's Corner was a small town, rather than a large village. It even was bordering on becoming a moderate-sized town, though it hadn't been given a town charter, owing to the Riverlands' notable reticence to grant such things. The Riverlords almost never granted charters to their towns, pre...

Lower Chionthar was a small fishing village on the River Chionthar, a great artery of water and trade that ran through the Western Heartlands, winding its way from its source in the Far Hills in the east of Sunset Vale before flowing into the Trackless Sea near Baldur's Gate. The unimaginatively-...

In twenty minutes, I will be leaving for the airport on a ten-day trip to Ireland and Scotland for a vacation with my family. My family insists on packing that time with activities, so I do not know if I will be able to get as much writing done as I normally do. Fortunately, it's a nine-hour flig...

So here we have the images for the last chapter. I had a devil of a time getting the Port Right before I decided to try putting Portside Markets into the AI Generator Prompt, and I'm still not a hundred percent on the walls, either. The Keep and Guards turned out more or less exactly how I wanted...

As we waited outside, the silence was tense, and at least two of Piers' Bodyguards in Iron Hans and Gaspar the Blue were still glaring daggers at Anders and Martine, respectively. I frowned as I realized that this wasn't likely to end any time soon. Even if I tried to interject or do something to...

Here we have the images for the last chapter. A few of these didn't turn out the best. The Armory Room, in Particular, isn't exactly how I envisioned it, but that's the risk you take working with AI Image Generators. I'm just glad they got parts of it right instead of being all screwed up. Piers ...

Rasalhague had been completely spruced up for the Wedding.

Lex Luthor did not like magic. The Discipline worked on arcane rules that seemed to entirely defy logic and science seemingly at random. Some things worked how you might expect them to, of course, but others, well, let's just say that the Higher Mysteries of Magic would always manage to confound ...

Jackie'd suited up as soon as he'd got the call about the situation at the Docks. Some douchebag'd blown up a cargo ship and decided to take a buncha hostages.

The Van Rijn Trade Post was one of, if not the, most sturdy buildings in all of Alynda. You could tell it had been built for someone with money based on the materials it was made of. Instead of cheaper bricks, wattle and daub, timber, or drystone, like the majority of buildings in town, the Van R...

Platform Nine and Three Quarters, where the Hogwarts Express sat, was, as usual, completely crowded with various kids and their parents.

For a bit over a year, an uneasy truce had been maintained between the Sons of Ptolemy I Soter. The lands of their father had been divided amongst them into three parts, with three of the Sons of Ptolemy I Soter and one Breakaway State having sundered the once-mighty Kingdom into Quarters.

So here we have the images for this last chapter. Some of them I'm not a hundred percent cool with. For instance, a lot of the Skaven Images I've been generating don't have the right look for Skaven, insisting on making them cuter than they should be, like if they were IRL Rats. It's the best I c...

Touching down on the Steppes in a Tel'tac was interesting. For what seemed like miles around, there was nought but tall grass, steppe vegetation, and wide open sky. However, I knew for a fact that the Saka-Descended Nomads who made up Wusun's original settler population were nearby. The odd, deer...
