I’ve moved my newsletter to Buttondown, as Substack wasn’t really working for me (basically for the “too many fascists” reason that you may have heard about). If you haven’t but would like to sign up for that, you can find the first installment here.

That administrative message done, what’s ahead for 2024?

Here’s my plans:

  • An as-yet-unannounced project. The draft is done and with the publisher, more news as soon as there is anything I can share.
  • Glorious (Napoleonic naval adventure roleplaying) is coming along well. Expect to see an early access edition of this soon.
  • Unusual Situations (space opera inspired by Banks’ Culture) is also coming along well, but is at a much earlier stage.
  • XGE13 (science space opera, inspired by Stargate SG-13) is on hold. It needs a bit of a re-working to change the emphasis of play. I’m intending to get back to it once Glorious and Unusual Situations are at a more-finished state.

The other thing I have coming up is sales of some zine editions of Heavy Metal Aeons, The Natural Philosophers, and OBEY THE GM! I had these printed locally, and they came out great. Once I’ve figured out the best way to get money for them and how much packing and shipping will cost, I’ll be offering those for sale.
