@laurencipollo.bsky.social and I will be on one of our favorite podcasts, Super Geeked Up, tonight at 9ET/6PT. Join us for geeky games and conversation! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgy2...

Two outcasts vs. an army of undead that can embody your greatest fears, controlled by a force nobody can identify. The only answers lie in a book written by a madman. Check out our Kickstarter page and get yourself a copy of the epic adventure Dark & Zarus in Ebook, paperback or hardcover!

I have learned, knowing as many artists as I do, that whenever somebody asks me if I have five minutes to stand against a white wall and make specific expressions, it is always worthwhile. @laurencipollo.bsky.social makes a good alien for sure.

Clearly our fans love sci-fi AND fantasy. (Maybe that's why you follow us. 🚀🐉) One of our most popular tiers in the Dark&Zarus Kickstarter is the Completionist Level!

Every fantasy book is better when you have a fantasy map to follow along with, right? Well good news! We're almost halfway to our next stretch goal, which will mean including a Map of the Realm in Dark & Zarus! Join our adventure now and help us get there!

What a first day! Our fantasy novel Dark & Zarus launched on Kickstarter yesterday and exceeded our initial goal in under five hours! Now, the first of our stretch goals will mean digging back into our formatted book files but it'll be well worth it... (1/2)

We did it, all thanks to you! We hit our 30 day goal for Dark & Zarus in under 5 hours! Now it's time to work towards some sweet sweet stretch goals, and make these awesome fantasy books even cooler. Join us! 🏰🧟‍♀️🙀🗡️🏹🐦‍🔥❤️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/cip...

Hey, look what we did! Now, get yourself a copy and maybe some sweet sweet rewards. 👀 If you're a fantasy fan, you won't regret it. We're at 70% funded in three hours! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cip...

Sneak peak of what I've been working on. Coming to you this week! If you're not following the campaign yet, and you love D&D, Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings, the link is in my bio. So excited to bring this to all of you! We've been working on it forever. And it's really good.

Session 18 of @laurencipollo.bsky.social's D&D game, In the Wake of the Fallen, is in the books! Set loosely in the world of our fantasy novel, Dark& Zarus, this session saw chaos gremlin NPC Lenya lead us to talk to a necromancer about obtaining a mysterious orb from an oasis in exchange for...

Coming soon!! We're so excited to finally be putting Dark & Zarus, our first fantasy book, out into the world. It's a little bit The Lord of the Rings, a little bit The Princess Bride, and a lot all of our favorite parts of the best Dungeons & Dragons campaigns.

Happy holidays from Team Cinevore, everybody! mailchi.mp/b2d843ac4a76...

Tonight! Join us for the first ever Actual Play of Cinevore Games' first ever tabletop RPG: AUTHORS OF FATE, based on the incredible graphic novel Stoker & Wells.

It's time for @loscon.bsky.social LOSCON 2025! Join us at the Hilton LAX for some of the best literary sci-fi conversations you could ever have with some true legends in the field (and also us)!

From one convention straight into the next with barely any time to digest turkey! LOSCON is my favorite sci-fi convention. Such amazing people and great panels I just get lost in (which is difficult when moderating). Come see @laurencipollo.bsky.social and me, talk to us and get some books signed!

At PAX Unplugged for the weekend with Team Cinevore! Getting around is a little confusing. Pretty sure we just received instructions to another dimension...

Well damn!! 5/5 stars! Thanks to @cknightwrites.bsky.social for the incredible and humbling review of our novel Dark & Zarus. Check out Charlie's Patreon (free to follow) for more book reviews and writing tips.

It was a very video-game-inspired Halloween this year! But @laurencipollo.bsky.social and I will definitely be using these costumes again (and the Fallout ones). Maybe Comic-Con?

First Halloween event of the season! @laurencipollo.bsky.social and I almost won the costume contest but another couple had a pretty solid Toad/Peach combo, so I can't compete with that!

We @laurencipollo.bsky.social and I actually remembered to get outside and walk around yesterday, instead of being our usual indoor gremlins. Perfect day for it. This trail is only a half hour from our apartment and we'd never been there! #angelesnationalforest

More writers and performers on AVALANCHE were @tammygolden.bsky.social, @thisistimryder.com, @lesleylives.bsky.social, @cinevore.bsky.social, and guest star @nphstuff.bsky.social!

Fancy breakfast at the Front Yard to celebrate a great meeting! I hope we have more news for you next week! 🤞🤞🤞

Our first outside playtest of Cinevore Studios' first board game, Wojtek, by lead designer @moxreuby.bsky.social ! The table agreed it felt like a "low-weight family friendly version of Pandemic" which... well, we love.

Had an awesome playtest of our TTRPG Stoker & Wells: Authors of Fate a few weeks back with this amazing crew of people at an undisclosed location somewhere in Los Angeles. (If you know where it is, shush.)

Hey friends! If you enjoyed Parallax, you'll love the next project from Lauren Cipollo and myself: DARK & ZARUS, a D&D-inspired fantasy adventure novel coming soon! Click the "Notify Me on Launch" button below, and be the first to know how to get yourself a copy (and other cool perks)!

I was really hesitant on this one, because I didn't feel like it needed a reboot and there will never be another like Leslie Nielsen. But we went to see The Naked Gun yesterday, on the recommendation of... every single person I know.

Ever worked with a writing collaborator? Ever wanted to? The very idea can be daunting! @laurencipollo.bsky.social and I were on The Writers Hub with Gabriel Garcia yesterday, talking about how to know if it's going well, and looking out for the red flags. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xhz...

That's right, I'm in a game! As a snobby wine coinesseur and bootlegger, no less! We just got our copies of Dark Heists by good friend and super-talented game designer Moe Poplar @ashyfeet.bsky.social fresh off its successful Kickstarter.

I co-wrote this thing with @laurencipollo.bsky.social ! If you're a gamer, you might find it funny: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrAH...

Awesome session of the Star Wars RPG run by @emmettfurey.bsky.social yesterday. So far it's been an adventure for my Ghorman-born character Vellir Gardanus, who I created before Andor Season 2 when I didn't know what Ghorman was. ("Don't look it up." -Emmett)

Representing Cinevore Games at Origins Game Fair in Columbus,OH with producer extraordinaire Jenni Powell! We've been pitching our literary TTRPG Authors of Fate AND a brand new top secret project to various cool publishers. Feels a lot like pitching TV! 😅 #CinevoreGames #originsgamefair #gama

Amy Hutchins, our amazing narrator for the Parallax audiobooks, is hosting a Parallax book club tonight in her discord group! If you've read the books and want to chat about them with other cool people, please join us! Lauren and I will be there too.

Had a great time at the Daggerheart launch last night at Geeky Teas! Even got to meet Matt Mercer and Sam Riegel, who geeked out over my shirt. 😆 Reinforcing my belief that all the cool fun people are #MSTies. Can't wait to play this game!

Check it out! A live, Drive-in Theater MST3K event in Lehighton, PA this summer! And it features two of the episodes I wrote on, The Land That Time Forgot, and Munchie! (They're really fun episodes too.) AND live riffing from Jonah, Joel, and Matt McGinnis! And they'll be signing stuff!

Ideal Remake comes stomping back to return for Season 8! And what better way to inaugurate this than with @cinevore.bsky.social and @laurencipollo.bsky.social joining to remake one of the greatest movies of all time! Welcome to [our remake of] Jurassic Park!!

Parallax table is up at AnaCon! If you're in Anaheim today, come say hi!

One year ago, @laurencipollo.bsky.social and I officially became published authors! Today you can get the whole Parallax trilogy (over 300,000 words) for 99¢. People seem to like it, you probably will too! #parallaxseries #scifi #sciencefiction

For a first time tabling at Wondercon, this has been a delightful experience. Would recommend. 5 stars. If you're at the con today, come say hi! Or get some free bookmarks! Small Press section, table SP-06. Our table has something for everyone.🧙‍♂️🐲🛸🦾🚀

We are setup at Wondercon! Come see us! Booth SP-06

@laurencipollo.bsky.social and I were special guests on Super Geeked Up last night! Come watch us try to translate a conversation between Lursa (the Duras sister) and Jabba the Hutt, and then debate Best Song from an Animated Film! (and more) www.youtube.com/live/XX2GIkB...

My way of dealing with existential absurdity?? Nahhhh... blog.apaonline.org/2025/02/27/r...

Had a blast speaking at the California Writers Club Orange County Branch Saturday! A great turnout, cool venue, wonderful questions and such a delightful group of writers and attendees. 2 hours just flew. Thanks so much for having us!

This truck has been parked across the street from our apartment for days. Beginning to remind me of this.

Lauren dropped her phone in a restaurant the other day and didn't realize it. When she retrieved it maybe 20 minutes later, this picture was in the camera roll. We are terrified. 😆 @laurencipollo.bsky.social

Closure to this saga! Finding a replacement for the Sportage that got rear-ended on NYE came down to two cars, and we finally settled on one Friday. May this lightly-used 2024 Hyundai Tucson live a life far longer and more prosperous than its predecessor. 🖖 #teambluecar @laurencipollo.bsky.social

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Parallax hits #1 AGAIN! We’re so proud of these books! 💙💙💙 If you’re new to sci-fi or a life long reader, you’ll love this trilogy! Parallax is a mystery wrapped in a space opera with plenty of flawed characters and high stakes.

Woohoo! Another #1 bestseller banner for our humble little space series! 🥳 If you haven't checked these out yet, you're not going to beat getting the whole trilogy for 99¢. For you fans of sci-fi, I promise you won't be disappointed.

We'll be on Sci-fi Queens tonight live with @scifiqueens.bsky.social and @laurencipollo.bsky.social talking Parallax and sci-fi in general. Join us and ask all your burning questions, or heckle us. Either way! Check your local listings! Or, you know, YouTube. 🥳🚀🛸👽🧑‍🚀🦾 www.youtube.com/live/nVFTAhe...

We've been invited to speak at OuterRimCon on Saturday, February 1st, a fundraiser for the Aerospace Legacy Foundation. Coming from the creative, non-technical side, @laurencipollo.bsky.social and I are really excited to be speaking alongside other creatives AND actual scientists! 🚀🛸👽🧑‍🚀
