Happy Birthday to Josh Rubino @profcoppermane.bsky.social , the voice of Telesphore Winterlich, a man who is always at maximum Wee Hee Hee levels, and has taken all of the conlang stuff like an absolute champion.

Happy 50th anniversary of the moon landing
GUSTAV: - And when they went down into the cave to retrieve his body, it turns out the tunnel just ended. So we were in the wrong place, obviously. But… that’s when it hit me. Maybe we were wrong about hollow earth. Maybe…hollow moon.  

EISEN: - Hollow moon. Yes! You know, some would say you sound absolutely insane with this. I mean, really, most people would wonder if you’d been dropped on your head as a child. But I disagree- I think if one is true then the other must be as well, that’s just solid logic. And that is what you need to invest in next. Because I really do think we’re only 10 years away from putting people up there.

The first 4 pages of the comic are up on patreon now! www.patreon.com/KingmakerCas...
PANEL 1 - Historian's Note: An associate of mine, the Valorian sociologist Klaus Janson, has been outspoken in his belief that one of the greatest tragedies of the past 10 years has been the rapid gentrification of Crystal City's Fisherman's Quarter neighbourhood, in particular Firebird Alley. What is now mostly seen as a place for foreign tourists to buy snakeberry perfume, mediocre paintings of Crystal Castle, and overpriced mantelope-claw backscratchers, was, in the early 20th century, a bustling hub of artisans and tradesmen, many of them immigrants from Asia and Eastern Europe. 

PANEL 2 - An aerial view of a bustling steampunk city. 

PANEL 3 - A covered marketplace with an elaborate bird-shaped sign that reads FEURVOGELGASSE

Historian's Note: But the place always had something of an unsavoury reputation, particularly during the early Holzmann administration, for being frequented by smugglers.

PANEL 4 - A police officer walks through the market.

PANEL 5 - The same police officer, from behind.

Police officer: Excuse me, citizen-

COLETTE: I have a regular amount of work experience. I'm actually saving up to elope with my fiancee. We're madly in love, but he's a poor artist, and my father hates him. He's currently away fishing for giant squids in the north sea...my fiancee, not my father.

It's still June 3rd somewhere. Happy birthday Eisen.
EISEN: Although, today’s the 3rd, right?

COLETTE: I think so. 

EISEN: Then that means it’s my birthday. (half-joking) Maybe that’s the terrible fate, getting older.

COLETTE: Wow. Bleak. 

SOUND: Colette and Eisen clink their bottles together.

I also made this silly little edit for our tumblr mobile banner. Be gay do crimes.
an image of the kingmaker trio pickpocketing a random stranger. their outfits are edited to be their respective pride flag colours. Colette is wearing genderfluid pride colours, Eisen is wearing bi flag colours, and Telesphore is wearing gay male pride flag colours.

Wishing a very happy birthday to the the inimitable @blytherenay.com, the voice of Colette Geise, who generates almost as much light and energy in real life as she does in the show. Send her all your love!

For no particular reason here is my favourite picture of Aleister Crowley in the 1910s.

Happy 114th anniversary of the Titanic.
NARRATOR: As we all know, in April of that very year the Titanic would be torn apart by an iceberg that existed in all points in time simultaneously. It is unknown if this incident is related.
