Chapter 185 – Dwarves X

Two days later, we were back on the road, winding our way up a mountain to a “great vantage point.”

“It’s a bit of a detour, but I’d thought ye’d like to see the best view in Nolgrod!” Lule enthusiastically told me.

“I’d love to see it!” I said, distinctly feeling on the back foot. After the utter disaster that ha...

Artwork! Elaine at the beach!

Shiny, amazing artwork by Ms. Tsuu! Fantastic stuff. 

I'm going to be using this on Royal Road to advertise Patreon :)

Hence the blatant fanservice. 

Chapter 184 – Dwarves IX

Hey everyone! BONUS CHAPTER! Patreon is now officially 15 chapters ahead!

With this bonus chapter, I'm going to shamelessly ask for you to all vote for BTDEM on RoyalRoad. BTDEM has a strong chance of being one of the top-voted novels, and hey. I figure this is a fair trade - you all get a bonus chapter, and I get to shamelessly ask for vo...

Chapter 183 – Dwarves VIII

We rolled into Lundar the next day. Tall wooden palisades surrounded the town, taller than most of the walls I’d seen in Remus. Advantage of living in a redwood forest and making everything out of wood – it was easy to supersize things that needed to be supersized. Redwoods were giants, with their biggest downfall being how long they took to...

This is an experiment for my apprentice tier patrons. Since you don't get a notification when I make a new chapter available, I'm trying a ping like this instead.

Did it work?

Chapter 182 – Dwarves VII

It only took a week for me to suspect that something was up. As a Sentinel, I was used to rapid, rapid deployments from A to B.

Even as a Ranger, we quickly moved from place to place when needed.

The lower level dwarves had similar levels to experienced Rangers, although the class quality and combat experience was less. Eith...

Do you get a notification when a chapter is unlocked?

I'm going to figure this out once and for all.

Schedule Announcement (Communicating Often)

• Hey all!
• As I mentioned in my last schedule communication post, I need a week this month to move. Boo! Hiss! Moving! 
• I hate it. I could write long, long rants about how much I hate moving, but nobody wants to read it. 
• What you all care about - THE SCHEDULE!

Exclusive artwork! Artemis! Don't open at work.

Crackle BOOM! Rocks and Lightning! Artemis! Exclusive reward for my $10+ patrons :)

Second one should be coming this month - right now I'm thinking Jaclyn. 

Chapter 181 – Dwarves VI

Working on getting you all +15 chapters ahead.

====

The seven of us traveled along the dirt road, deeper into the forest, and deeper into the dwarven country. The trees only grew bigger, and the forest became denser as we made our way along the ever-winding road.

I’d been a Ranger, and a Sentinel, far too long. My ...

Chapter 180 – Dwarves V

Briga had quickly realized that, given enough books, I would happily stay in the room I’d been given and not cause mischief.

Even me wandering around caused mischief. Not only did Briga decide that I needed a full escort of guards, it wasn’t quite clear who was being guarded.

The crazy human wants to wander around? Ok, sure – b...

Chapter 179 – Dwarves IV

Four dwarves filed into the room, without Tilruk. Shame. I liked him, and hoped he’d stick around.

Briga pointed to each in turn, and repeated their names, making introductions. I had so many new things today, and life was so strange, that they all sadly went in one ear, and out the other.

Ok, sure, I could probably recall the name...

Male-female ratio for exclusive pictures

While I strongly suspect most of my readers would prefer tasteful pictures of women, I suspect it's not everyone's cup of tea. I'm trying to roughly gauge what the ratio is though, which will help inform the ratio of artwork I acquire.

So! What do you want to see?

Chapter 178 – Dwarves III

Tilruk escorted me towards the building I had to assume was the headquarters. A pair of stout, slightly more serious looking guards were at the door, wooden helmets open enough to allow their intricately braided beards to flow down.

I eyed up the beards and spent a few moments thinking.

Normally, the Rangers considered long hair to b...

Artwork Poll #2 - The $10+ tier one

Pretty simple - do you enjoy the tasteful artwork that's exclusive to you? Do you consider it "worth it" for the tier, if there's no bonus chapter for the month?

Artwork poll questions!

I like getting artwork for all of you!

I imagine you all like getting artwork as well. 

A poll, to see how you'd all like to see my artwork budget allocated

Chapter 177 – Dwarves II

Tilruk continued to stare at me as the doors closed behind us, a soft teal light emitting from strips against the wall in the tunnel.

“You didn’t come through the dead zone?” He asked me.

“I have no idea what that is.” I repeated, confused as hell.

“Tis the place you just left.” He said.

“The Formorian lan...

Quick Poll - What website did you find BTDEM?

Hey! Super simple. Just wondering where people have found me first. Royal Road, Scribblehub, Amazon, or other. 

A note on June's posting schedule (Tl;Dr: Taking a week off to move)

As the title says, I'm moving in June. As a result, for one week I'll be out of commission, and unable to post, busy moving my stuff across the country. 

Sorry all! 

Letting you know now, in advance, so nobody renews then gets hit with a surprise announcement. This way, nobody feels like I'm not filling my end of the bargai...

Chapter 176 – Dwarves I

Hunting and I looked at each other with concerned bemusement. On one hand, the call to arms from the wall was mildly worrisome to put it gently. On the other, we just couldn’t get over being called Formorians.

The call to arms went on for a few minutes, before a number of bearded faces popped over the walls.

I was not impr...

Chapter 175 – The Formorian Lands IV

With Hunting gone for the next couple of days, there wasn’t much to do. Sure, I re-did my [Persistent Casting]with as perfect of an image as I could get. I played with my new skills, pushing [Mantle of the Stars] as hard as I could, weaving a series of complex images and pictures. Re-doing the [Persist...
