Larry Correia has planted a flag on the mouldering corpse of George R.R. Martin’s literary career. There’s a fisking in the linked article, which involves MSN.com relitigating the whole Sad Puppies/Hugos drama from ten years ago, because they want to sell the narrative that Correia and Martin are rivals, explaining this mockery. Correia fisks the… Read More The Ruins of Westeros
There’s a bit of news in the world of The Eye of Argon, which, as I have previously discussed, is enjoying an expanding universe. The story has always been that Jim Theis, author of Argon, only wrote that, before the blowback to it destroyed in him forever the wish to create. That’s sort of true,… Read More Grignr Emerges From The Grave in ‘The Sacred Crest’
Publication Date is August 11th. It will be available in both ebook and paper back. It’s my first mystery story, and it’s set in the fantasy world, Cevalon, that the Tygg and Drea stories also belong to. This has been a project long in the works. I started it years ago, set it aside, rediscovered… Read More Don’t Touch The Dead, now Available for Pre-Order!
If you’re one of our Patreon subscribers, you’ve had access to this episode of the Shallow & Pedantic Podcast for a little while. But if you’re not, why then… here it is. The habit now is to bust these episodes into smaller increments, less-than-an-hour: We are expecting to record a new episode this weekend, so… Read More New Old Podcasts: Shallow & Pedantic does the Second Dune Movie
This has been up since the middle of the month, but I delayed this post because we had artwork in it for the first time, and I had to be sure that Amazon could handle it. Or, if you’re the sort of person who wants an .epub AND a .pdf, you go to our Gumroad… Read More Unnamed Journal 37 – Wanna Be Anarchy!
I have never read anything by Brandon Sanderson. Not for any particular reason; I’m just not a very diligent reader of fantasy. I like certain authors, and dislike others. My taste runs to either high fantasy (Tolkein), or pulp fantasy (Brust). The mid-level stuff has always bored me. I think the problem lies in the… Read More The Laws of Fantasy Magic and Other Nerderies
Behold. This is a collection of 5 stories, previously published on Unnamed Journal. The product description on Amazon goes as follows: Tygg is a Barbarian. Drea is a Witch. They sail the seas in a ship of freed slaves and dead men, hunting for magical artefacts. They encounter magical mysteries, cruel enemies, and occasional allies.… Read More Voyages of the Dread: The Tygg And Drea adventures now on Amazon
Because I haven’t owned anything more advanced than a PS2, I’ve never played the Witcher game series. I’ve also never read the novels they’re based on. I only watched the TV series because it was conveniently on Netflix, and I was only interested in watching Geralt of Rivia kill scuzzy Lovecraft beasties. I made it… Read More Witcher Season 3 is Boring. Actually, That’s Just Witcher.
I mentioned a few weeks back that the infamous Eye of Argon has had some expansion added to it recently. There was Grignyr the Ecordian, a edited re-telling of the original, and there was The Eye of Argon and the Further Adventures of Grignr the Barbarian. Post-holidays, I acquired both. The guy who wrote this… Read More Cry of Argon: Reports from the Grignr Mythos
