Cover reveal!! Coming this winter. I have some stuff to pin down before I put up a preorder link, but meanwhile, this was hot off the cover press and I wanted to show everybody.

Cover image for Hybrid by R. Z. Held. Log line: Part human. Part alien. Nowhere to belong. The cover shows a desert at night with a space ship and dragon wings behind the title.

I got an early copy of REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING by @themonstersknow.com and I'm excited to dig into updated #dnd monster tactics! Crafting combat that is as interesting as any other part of the story is something I'm always working on! So thanks for the preview copy! #ttrpg

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

TONIGHT! To the End of Reason returns! Keshav and Fox are back and it's up to Dani to get them up to speed before the dangers of the Chariot and Rose come to find them! Starting soon on twitch.tv/dungeonscrawlers (5-7 pm PST)

A suspect line up on a yellow background but the heights are marked as things like "weirdo" "liar" and 5 ft. The entities in the line-up are surreal: a group of foxes leaping out of a top hat with an explosion of glitter (Cassandra Khaw); a stack of teetering televisions showing bright erratic colors, a 404 not found warning, and a portrait of Valiant Dorian, a brown skinned man, holding an animal mask to his face (Valiant Dorian); an anatomical metal heart hanging from a chain of violets (Jess Pendley); a porcelain bust on fire (Treavor Bettis); a composite figure prancing in a petal skirt with a head made of pink tentacles, surrounded by drawings of cute animals (Shanna Germain). To the left an eye in front of a hallway watches with the note "You must be this tall to seize the reins of reality" pointing at the height lines, with the game master's name underneath (Erin M. Evans). To the End of Reason: An Invisible Sun Actual Play on twitch.tv/dungeonscrawlers Mondays 5pm PST

In the Renaissance people theorized, since the Aeneid is great, if you wrote poems made only of words & phrases from the Aeneid rearranged they should be great too, since a great source regurgitated should yield greatness. They produced NOTHING we still read. Thinking about that a lot lately.
