Where to Buy "Architect of Worlds"

Patron Reward - "Pentheus at Bay"
Rather to my surprise, I have enough new material for you this month that it warrants a full release. The attached is "Pentheus at Bay," a brand new novelette (about 15600 words) set in the Fourth Millennium universe, portraying events just after the death of that world's Alexander the Great.
I've been getting some other work...

Patron Free Update - Human Destiny Setting Bible and RPG Sourcebook (version 0.53)
As with last month, this month's update is coming out a bit early. Not only am I going to be pretty busy with office work and university finals in late May, but I'm also about to finish putting together my package for the Chaosium design challenge, including a version of this document.
This update includes about 4,000 words of new material...

At very long last, here we are: the final release copy of Architect of Worlds. As of this weekend, Ken Burnside and I have finished edits to the book, and he's busy getting started with PDF sales, printing, and shipping. Which means, for those of you at the Intermediate level and above, that you get a copy of the final rel...
2024-05-11 22:01:43 +0000 UTC View PostPatron Free Update - Human Destiny Setting Bible and RPG Sourcebook (version 0.52)
I'm releasing this month's incremental update a few days early, because the next week or so is going to be just insane (because of office work and preparation for exams in my university courses) so I need to set this project aside for a bit. Hoping to return to it after the first of the month, so I can get it ready for submission t...

Okay, let's try this again. Attached please find a PDF of version 0.51 of the Human Destiny sourcebook. There's actually a fair amount of new material here - word count is up about 9,000 words from last month - and I did a lot of minor revisions throughout the text.
Even so, this probably wouldn't reach the threshold for ...

There have been some developments in the "why didn't the February release get charged for" front, and the plan for this month is therefore going to change a bit.
I've done some research, and there's no reason why the leap day should have made a difference in whether the February release would have been charged on 1 March or not. It's been ...

Patreon is being a bit weird at the moment, so I thought I had better leave a quick note for you to let you know how March is likely to shake out.
The charged release I sent out on 29 February . . . never got charged, as far as I can tell. The fact that it went out on the leap day may have something to do with that. If that's the case, you...

Patreon Reward - Human Destiny Setting Bible and RPG Sourcebook (version 0.50)
This is the first charged release I've issued in almost a year. This is version 0.50 of the Human Destiny Setting Bible and RPG Sourcebook, a substantially revised version of material you last saw on the order of two years ago. This version of the partial interim draft is focused on the Basic Roleplaying game system (BRP)...

Folks, if you're currently supporting me at the Intermediate ($2) level or higher, you can expect to receive a free copy of the "Architect of Worlds" ebook once that's available. That also applies to a few "patrons emeritus" who aren't currently at that level but were at some time in the past, or who have been particularly helpful durin...

It's been quite a while since I released anything new for you, while I focused for most of the last year on getting Architect of Worlds ready for release. Time to change that! Starting next month I'm likely to be starting to work on original fiction and game material again, so you may start seeing charged releases again, but for now her...

Patreon Request: How Should I Identify You?
Folks, I'm very close to the point of finalizing the title page for Architect of Worlds.
As part of that, I intend to publicly acknowledge two sets of my patrons: (1) those who were at the Advanced Support level as of 1 January 2024; and (2) certain patrons and other readers who may not presently be at the Advanced Suppor...
