Some exciting news!
First off, I’ve been hired by Chris Van Der Linden, the founder of the third-party tabletop RPG publisher The LoreSmyth, to work (essentially) as his right-hand guy. I’ve been working on blog posts, social media, PR outreach, and overall strategy for the LoreSmyth for the past two weeks, and I’ll be running a D&D game at Aethercon this year using the company’s original campaign setting, “Savage Dawn.”
Second, I’ve signed a contract with Fable Labs, a company that serves as a publisher for independent interactive stories (via an app called “Tales”), to work on one of their internal story ideas. I’ve been signed on to write a 26-“episode” series, starting with a three-episode pilot! I can’t disclose more than that, but the story is right up my alley.
Third, I’ve started up my second D&D Legends group at Hex & Co, which means I have roughly 12 people who are paying a subscription to play with me in my custom-built world.
Between Hex & Co, the LoreSmyth, Tales, and other freelance and volunteer writing projects, my schedule has filled up pretty rapidly, which means I have to put some of my other projects on hold.
This means that Black Heaven: a Necromantic Dating Sim will be shelved for now, and I’ll only be working intermittently on A Board Game of Thrones: a Game of Thrones Board Game.
However, I’m still working on new fiction, and have at least two stories that have full drafts completed, including a new one about Yute and one about Ryu-Ito.
