My players had a demon bound in our last game and were pissed off that it wasn't thinking big enough. Seriously, they wanted to kill King Kaius so they could restart the Last War while the demon didn't care about that. #DND #Eberron #dungeonsanddragons #tabletopgaming

My favorite lesson in Medieval History (which I have my degree) was a college professor pointing out that we learn 9000% percent more from examining a Medieval garbage pit than we ever would have learned from official records. #history #archaeology #Medieval #DarkAges

If I had a time machine, I'd tell George Lucas to make Qui-Gon into Obi-Wan and Ewan's Obi into Anakin. Then have him heal Qui-Gon at the end of the Phantom Menace with the Dark Side. What do I replace Anakin with? I dunno, maybe a teenage girl apprentice to replace Ahsoka. #StarWars

#RogueTrader has perfect Craftworld Eldar representation. They only talk about their grievances when you meet their leader and zip past the fact they planned to start a race war to genocide all humans on Janus. Then they reconsider that they MIGHT accept them as mind controlled slaves. #Warhammer40K

Bobby Prince died on the 16th this week. Many of us primarily know him for being the composer of games such as Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, the Duke Nukem series, and various others throughout the years. #videogames #BobbyPrinceRIP

I always felt Tolkien was referring to the idea of the absolute monarch who actually WAS good and wise. Such a person would still be an enemy of freedom and choice even if it was leaving us better off. Mind you, almost every dictator we meet is also an idiot. #LordOfTheRings #LOTR #books #philosophy

Single mother vampire Jubilee is so much better than mallrat Jubilee that Marvel will never ever revisit it. #xmen #comics

Titus: I retook the 500 worlds. Leandros: I remain skeptical. Titus: I killed Abaddon and Erebus. Permanently. Leandros: Is that pride I detect? Titus: The Emperor rose up long enough to proclaim me innocent then the Grey Knights put him back. Leandros: Troubling. #Warhammer40K #SpaceMarines

I love ROGUE TRADER but navigating the maps to know where you're supposed to next is causing me to debate joining Chaos. At least then I could escape the eldritch labyrinths that are the levels. #videogames #Warhammer40K #RogueTrader

It's halfway through Pride Month. I just wanted to say that if you are a good person and you are pan, omni, Ace, bi-, gay, lesbian, poly-, trans, or otherwise lgbtq, I love ya and am glad you are here. Also, Batgirl, the Birds of Prey, the Uncanny X-Men, Red Sonja, and Wonder Woman agree with me.

"..My father liked to say that his novel, and that story, were similar, but that you can’t trust an author with the ending. They either give readers what they want to read, or they stab them in the back, but all crimes have a motive, and the ending of any story is a crime of passion.” - WIP

As teenage boys in the Eighties, we knew all hot women in #DND we met in games were monsters going to eat us. In the end, we grew up and rewrote them to want to bang instead. Many a fetish was born of the Red Widows, Drow, Werefoxes, and Vampire Brides. This is from the Book of Gamer Wisdom.

A trillion people on Coruscant isn't that much. To be fair, people are going to be asking about how Coruscant imports all of its food and waste heat. That trillion people need giant vat grown meat, vegetables, heat dispensers, and other automated industry to sustain their ecumenopolis. #StarWars

Seattle: City of Curses, will introduce weredeer. They better live up to this incredible book by...someone. #Curseborne #books #indibeooks #urbanfantasy

This is my wife's perspective on writing, except it also involves watching Marvel cartoons from the 90s and playing Space Marines. #writing #writingcommunity #books #indiebooks @davidniallwilson.com

Mortal Kombat Hot Take: I still ship Baraka and Mileena.

I think the Prequels went a long way to killing the belief the Dark Side corrupts you like the One Ring. You can argue Anakin on Mustafar is warped by the Dark Side or you can say he's just crashing out after murdering a bunch of kids. #StarWars #RevengeOftheSith #TheForce #TheSith

#Warhammer40K is sort of the equivalent to #StarWars/#StarTrek the way #Westeors is to the #LordOfTheRings. It's not taking a political stance so much as a literary stance on popular genre fiction. "What if the protagonists were the Empire and everything sucked?" #books #grimdark #gameofthrones

Many people hated the ending for #Fallout3's Tenpenny Tower if you sided with Roy and thought Bethesda was playing "gotcha." However, I feel it was one of the better quests because you can hear how violent and hateful Roy is before making any choices. You're condescending to him if you ignore it.

I've always been fascinated with the concept of the Demilich. Because the premise is that the Tomb of Horrors guy built this death dungeon solely so he could spend all of his time surfing the planes like he's on his phone. #DND #fantasy #dungeonsanddragons

Playing WARHAMMER 40K: ROGUE TRADER and it's kind of fascinating the sinister death cult living in the bowels of the ship are by far the kindest and sanest people on the ship. Shadowheart should join up with these guys. They suit her vibe better than Selune. #videogames #RogueTrader #Warhammer40K

A review of TALES OF SHUB-NIGGURATH's "Blessed be the Children" which is a rare #LGBTAQ Cthulhu Mythos story by queer author Jessi Vasquez. I liked it & not just because I was the anthology's editor. beforewegoblog.com/review-the-b... @ericmalikyte.bsky.social @beforewegoblog.bsky.social #PrideMonth

I admit I got a one-star rating for a joke in my Space Academy Dropouts book. Basically, the hero gets shot at by a bunch of gun smugglers that later claimed they were defending their 2nd amendment rights. The protagonist pointed out that didn't apply in...space. #spaceopera #writingcommunity #scifi

I want an epic Erebus vs. Captain Titus final boss fight for Space Marines 3. Then Erebus gets kill stolen by Leandros and stays dead because only Leandros would feel no pride in slaying the galaxy's biggest evil because he was more worried about Titus falling. #SpaceMarines2 #Warhammer40K

One of the jokes in Metal Wolf Chaos is discovering the White House has been turned into an armored fortress. It is now, "The Fight House!" I am literally surprised the UFC event isn't trying to use that. Ugh.

The best way to drive your poor seneschal nuts in ROGUE TRADER is to be the nicest person you can be in the grimdark future. #RogueTrader #Warhammer40K

"Slavery is illegal in the Imperium's borders," Vannevar said. "There's only serfdom, thralldom, indentured servitude, penal labor, Servitordom, and lifetime contracts." - Line from my #Warhammer40K Rogue Trader game. #RogueTrader #tabletopgames

#Fallout4's biggest failing for me is that it refuses to let you engage with the factions like #NewVegas. No one will really explain why they're so concerned with the robot issue over virtually every other problem a person a post-apocalypse society would deal with like the Brotherhood or Railroad.

I choose to believe every time someone is against superheroes and not supervillains, it's because they're receiving money from the Sentinel lobby. #Xmen #Marvel #comics #MCU

I thought I'd hate time travel in #Warhammer40K but Orikan spams it constantly in THE INFINITE AND DIVINE. All for the pettiest of reasons but refuses to use it to save entire Necron dynasties--not for the fact that he can't or cosmic reasons but because he doesn't give a shit. #books #scifi

Currently playing ROGUE TRADER for the first time and am deeply annoyed that I waited to finish ACT I for the Infinite Museion only to find out that it doesn't have any story content until Act II. Still, loving this game. #Warhammer40K #RogueTrader #videogames

Hi #WeeknightWriters! I am CT Phipps and I am currently working on my seventh Space Academy book which is about time travel and wacky bad futures that the heroes mock the tropes of.

Star Trek's lasting appeal is the idea that humanity can and will eventually get its shit together. That technology will free us from poverty and division to explore space. The ultimate "woke" idea. #StarTrek #politics

VILLAINS OUT SHOPPING is out early. 13 stories of Gary and his wacky associates in hilarious adventures ranging from demonic rockers to William Shatner trying to kill them. www.amazon.com/dp/B0H4F2FCPG/ #books #bookrelease #booktwitter #superheroes #indiebooks

For me, the comedy of #Warhammer40K is the Imperium is comically stupid and evil with only a handful of guys capable of propping up the system as is. But if it collapsed tomorrow, humanity would end up extinct because Tyranids/Orks/Chaos. It's very much a game only British people could write.

Finished Space Marines: Master Crafted Edition and I have to say that I've come around on the ending. It's the most grimdark thing they could do to have the guy who saved the planet heroically be arrested. Because they can't imagine good triumphing on merit. #Warhammer40K #SpaceMarines #Titus

My Space Academy series was sort of envisioned by the thought experiment of, "What if I combined Mass Effect 's Commander Shepard with Silly Hawke from Dragon Age 2?" The results were...interesting. #books #spaceopera #indiebooks #booksky #DragonAge #MassEffect #videogames

I have a story in this where my character Donovan DeChance interacts with the teenage sort-of-super heroes from my novel HOODS. This book is a lot of fun.

We have a great new cover for TALES OF CAPES AND COWLS, a book with stories by Richard Roberts (Please Dont Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillainy) and Keith RA DeCandido (Klingon Empire). I really like it. #coverreveal #books #indiebooks @crossroadpress.bsky.social @davidniallwilson.com

Space Marine: Master Crafted Edition is a full remaster of the classic hack and shoot game that has since gotten its sequel in the wildly popular Space Marine II.
