And my backlist: brentstypczynski.wordpress.com/my-books

Working on two projects (BoMB v.3 & mini-builds), so, of course, now I want to start a third, completely unrelated one. Ugh. Stupid brain.

Democratic politicians telling us today how sad they are about Lindsey Graham's death because he purportedly had such a "great sense of humor" are why Democrats are currently struggling with a base angry and resentful at the evil agendas promoted by the likes of vile toadies like Lindsey Graham.

I have quite a lot of illustrations for tavern/business signs, handouts, notice board flyers, adventures, quests, menus, potions, custom items, and more; all available for commercial use on my Patreon! rueadventuring.com/collection/6...

Hi @kenklippenstein.bsky.social delete this all you want, everyone saw it

A bit slower going on BoMB, vol. 3. Only 5 of 40 books in so far. But, progress in being made, and on dime small worldbuilds. #author #writing #fantasy

You know what USA team has won 4 World Cups and didn't need the president to step in and cheat for them? The Women's soccer team.

Well, that was a first. A “book marketer” reaching out with an obviously genAI written message that simply regurgitated the synopsis of my most recent book, mixed with bits from the previous three synopses. And putting lifted text in grammatically or contextually inappropriate places no less. 🙄🙄

New on our bookshelf: A Worldbuilder’s Guide to Religion: Essentials for Writers, Game Developers and Dungeon Masters By Brent A. Stypczynski mcfarlandbooks.com/product/A-Wo...

This is not a good thing, by far, and is likely one of the (multiple) root causes of our political problems.

Some people need to learn that they can take a stand against JKR’s transphobia *without* denigrating the, very often marginalized, genres of children’s/YA lit (or the adults who find value in and/or study both).

There’s something satisfying about distilling a (continent-sized) setting into less than 20 handwritten pages of notes.

In case you missed it; the current issue of Fantastical Geographic is available for a whole lot of nothing!😁 Yes, really! You can get it on my website, or from any of the contributing collaborators.😊 #FanGeo #DnD #TTRPG #DungeonsandDragons #BaldursGate3

What if the AI productivity boost has been vastly oversold? "...for each dollar that companies spend on AI coding tools, 44 cents goes towards fixing AI-generated bugs, 27 cents goes towards rewriting the code, and 11 cents is lost to other inefficiencies" www.hardresetmedia.com/p/are-we-bet...

Random Thought: Deck/patio furniture exists solely for decorative purposes & vibes. It is not intended to be used, nor, in fact, is it ever actually used (in virtually all cases).

Do love the UK summer when I can breakfast outside. I started writing 90mins later than normal at 8.30am, but it was worth it. Got a tricky chapter reread and improved and then wrote a nightmare sequence with a segue into a psychological crisis as a hold over from bk1 below. #scifi #scifibooks

Before I go on an internet fast …

Before I head offline for a few days midweek …

In addition to mini-ebooks, apparently now I’m also doing mini-setting builds — 18-20 page continent overviews, with zoom-ins on one region, settlement, etc. #writing #fantasy #worldbuilding

NEW: Meta paid hundreds of contractors to pretend they were kids—and then prompt rival chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT to talk about subjects like suicide, sex, eating disorders, and self-harm. From @dmehro.bsky.social and @joelkhalili.bsky.social

A/C is kicking on before sunrise … this does not bode well.

Feel like I should be posting more here and on my site, but … the humidity’s been crazy lately, and the heat’s not helping this week. Really going to try pushing some writing starting tomorrow, and during my “internet fast” this weekend.

Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

Obligatory book post. Try one (or more) out. Or don’t. I’m not the boss of you.

Should have done this a ways back, but one of tomorrow’s writing jobs is to compile a list of “authors” from BoMB vols. 1 & 2. That way, they can be reused, as appropriate, in future volumes. Because authors tend to create more than one book. #author #writing #fantasy #ttrpg
