Just heard someone refer to the Fire Emblem games as "anime chess" and I love that. Got a favourite Fire Emblem? Mine was Awakenings. Definitely wish there were more of them on the Switch 2.

This series currently compromises of two standalones, each focusing on a different band of mercenaries. Full of humour, adventure and action, this series is not one to be missed. Our editions will feature;

Boy, have I got some news for you! Prepare to have your eyes exploded.

I hate when the cover of this Spider-Man comic becomes blisteringly relevant.

Well, look what's arrived in the mail! I've heard a TON of great things about this book, which is about Sky Pirates and Found Family and by now you shouldn't care what else because those are two great reasons to check this out. A huge thanks to @mauriceafrich.bsky.social for sending this my way!

Google Search: "how to disable Microsoft OneDrive and also erase it from existence and also destroy the person who invented it and whoever insisted on making it so goddamn difficult to remove for ever and for all time what the fuck thanks" Anyone else?

Finished Persona 3 Reload last night. Don't remember the ending being that poignant--the music, especially. And while I feel every Persona game gets a bit tedious near the end,I also think its core concept (summoning your inner avatar to fight demons) is one of the coolest ever conceived.

This right here, an upcoming novella from @jedediahberry.com. BY FAR the most "fun" I've had reading since I inhaled Fritz Leiber's "Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser" novels a few years back.

It's not every day an ARC arrives that sounds THIS up my alley, but today's book mail certainly does! Thanks to my editor at @orbitbooks.bsky.social for sending this along!

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!!!! THE LAST SOUL ALMONG WOLVES is out!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting ready to jump on a plane for most of the day so it's a weird release day for me but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH IT'S LOOSE IN THE WORLD AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉

28th September - Nicholas Eames is joining us next to talk about epic quests and getting the band back together @nicholaseames.bsky.social 12th October - we're switching from fantasy to horror with Steve Toase who'll be digging into the scarier side of archaeology @stevetoase.bsky.social

Got some sweet book mail yesterday: a glossy, gorgeous, limited edition ARC of THE SCOUR by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social, which is being published this fall by @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social. Very cool. Veeeeery friggin cool.

I’ll never get tired of seeing this beautiful human being. So glad I got to shoot the shit and eat brunch biscuits with @nicholaseames.bsky.social before heading down to Seattle for Worldcon.

landed here just to enjoy fantasy/scifi books and have a chat about 'em! currently reading Bloody Rose by @nicholaseames.bsky.social and i'm stunned by what a glorious sequel it is. loved Kings of the Wyld, but DAMN, the guy gets better and better. best D&D campaign i've ever read🔥

BARBARIC is what got me back into reading and collecting comics. Great series! Great universe! Great characters! Great writer(s) and artists! @thevaultcomics.bsky.social @michaelmoreci.bsky.social @nicholaseames.bsky.social @rin237.bsky.social #NathanGooden

The main difference between the Switch 2 and Switch Lite? I never once worried about dropping or lightly tossing my Lite, but I'm deathly afraid of breaking this grossly expensive monstrosity 🤣

Meet Eline, a woman with a past. But in the brutal, politically-charged circles of the courtesans of Drathburg, does she have a future? Paved With Good Intentions, a World of the Rose Throne novel, is out now.

Wrong again, robot. There is absolutely a merman in Kings of the Wyld. Bloody Rose, too. I don't write books WITHOUT mermen, tbh.

Thanks to @torbooks.bsky.social for sending me a finished copy of ANJI KILLS A KING by @bookreviewskill.bsky.social to match my super cool ARC. Having a blurb on the back is an honour as well!

Update: I finished this last week and it was excellent! Anyone looking for funny, heartwarming fantasy starring a lovable underdog should absolutely check this (and Majordomo) out!

Goodreads friends forever, Albert!

Congrats to @guygavrielkay.bsky.social, whose new book WRITTEN ON THE DARK is out today in the US and Canada. Here's just a few of the GGK books I've collected over the years. A few gems include a signed first edition of Lord of Emperors and a copy of its predecessor signed WAY BACK in 1998 😅

All done. Boy, I'm gonna miss these grief-ravaged, beautiful souls. What an absolute gem of a game.

A huge thanks to @tbcart.bsky.social for hand-delivering a copy of his new book, Jester, at lunch on Monday! His novella, Majordomo, is excellent, and I can't wait to dive into this. No one writes a plucky underdog like Tim! Fans of Travis Baldree, J. Zachary Pike, and myself: read these books!

Big one today! Starting it now.

What you've already heard from literally a million other sources is true: Clair Obscur is a masterpiece. I am continually awestruck by this game.

At last! I bought this thing at midnight the day it dropped, but am just finally starting it now. Sounds like we've got a BG3esque, genre-defining masterpiece on our hands, eh?

When your CK3 character is a stone cold G

This novella is PHENOMENAL! Read it!

Found some CLASSICS while cleaning out the closet today. I may have relinquished my PS3 and 4, but gotta keep that PS2 handy until they remaster these gems...

Got some truly awesome bookmail today: a hardcover of @mhayinde.bsky.social's A SONG OF LEGENDS LOST to go with these incredibly unique ARC's (one book split into two) I read last year. This book is excellent! And that cover (by Rich Anderson, who did my books as well) is 🔥🔥🔥

Happy release day to @mhayinde.bsky.social! This book is excellent, and gave me some serious Horizon: Zero Dawn vibes, which are some of the best vibes around!

Started reading this forthcoming novella by @jedediahberry.bsky.social this morning and DANG it's fantastic so far.

Today seems like a great day to pitch my new novel Jester, releasing April 14th. The tagline is: In a realm ruled by idiots, their only hope is the Fool. Appropo of nothing.

Felix Ortiz updated an old sketch he did of Ganelon yesterday and my god it's epic AF

The good people at @acebookspub.bsky.social in NY keep sending lovely graphics they’ve made of various advance reviews of Written on the Dark. I feel a duty to share, besides which, they really are lovely! 2 months to release, ebook and audio, too.

One month! 30 days! Spies, assassins, murder… Ottomans, Protestants, Libertini, and the Pope… the birth of the modern world… oh, yes, and the Opera

New video review up! I adored Kings of the Wyld and now I finally got around to reading Bloody Rose, both by Nicholas Eames, who I can pretty comfortably say is my favorite fantasy author. Video link below @nicholaseames.bsky.social got me hankering for book 3 now! 💙📚🪐 youtu.be/ra5CuBbf3Ls

Scholars of Bluesky, I summon thee! Can anyone familiar with Gaelic tell me how you'd pronounce the word, "Faodail"?

Got the best bookmail ever today. A new book from humankind's greatest living (or dead, for that matter) author? Yes, please!

Reposting this fan art of Cura (from Bloody Rose) by @egilde.bsky.social because it's friggin awesome is why.

🍄 ANNOUNCING the Mushroom Blues ANNIVERSARY UPDATE 🍄 To celebrate my novel’s 1st birthday, all future editions will now include a foreword by @nicholaseames.bsky.social + 6 original interior artworks by Robert Trotea! AVAILABLE TODAY IN ALL FORMATS on Amazon: amzn.to/3VoOBNF 🧵

I remember people wondering if Disney+ would make the new Daredevil too kid friendly and leave out all the blood and death... Well, I'm 15 minutes in and they didn't. They sure as fuck didn't.

Tim is an EXCELLENT writer and you should absolutely read his stuff!

Happy pub day, David!

Been playing Persona 3 Reload lately and realizing how much the original blew my mind when I first played it. The characters feel like old friends, and I think maybe this game kick-started my enduring love of the anime art style? This or the OG Brigandine, maybe...
