If you're still on the lookout for more news from Royal Rogue, I'll put out a reddit post soonish. Unfortunately, the news aren't all great, in that our lead dev has cancer, and we wanted to wait until we knew he'd survive before posting another update. It's bad, but not all bad. Stay tuned.

We have a book three cover! I think the extra time our artist put in was worth it :)

How’s our bookbub promo going, you ask?

I have the great fortune of knowing this crow. Give him a follow if you like, you won't be disappointed.

If you're not a KU subscriber, and you've been considering giving the series a shot, this is an ideal opportunity to do that. The giveaway is not exclusive to Bookbub members, but it is ONLY during those two days.

We have book four cover art! #royalroad #booksky #indieauthors #fantasy

Aaaand more stuff that I like! I interviewed Joshua Rettew a while ago, and he was kind enough to send me a preview of this novel back then. While I didn't have the capacity to rep him, I think it has grown to be a VERY good book, and a masterclass on in media res. Check it! amzn.to/455nkUZ

The talented Sarah Murphy made the original art, and the original interpretation of Liv Brodbeck, the protagonist of my upcoming Guild Mage series, and she's just finished this version. In the audiobook, Liv will be voiced by the very awesome Kristin James! #fantasybooks #indieauthor #royalroad

The full paperback cover for Guild Mage: Eld, the second book in the series! It will be released in October by @mango-media.bsky.social #booksky #royalroad #indieauthors #fantasy

As we close in on two weeks until release, the first volume of the Guild Mage series is now on Goodreads! I have no idea who rated it - maybe some #royalroad readers? But thank you! #indieauthors #fantasy #booksky @mango-media.bsky.social

In the grand tradition of promoting stuff I like, here's @davidniemitz.bsky.social's epic progression fantasy banger of a book... IN AUDIO! OwO Reading it feels like your mom giving you a hug! I absolutely adore this thing, and you might, too! Check it out! www.audible.com/pd/Guild-Mag...

Last but not least, here are two versions of Cat from Stray Cat Strut! At first, I was thinking about going for a darker, more mature style for the game, but I'm so happy we found our current artist, Kaburapixels! His more humorous take on the genre brings some lighthearted fun that we defo need!

I also figure I should probably show some stuff from the game that we've been working on. Pictured are Viv from Calamitous Bob (@authoralexgilbert.bsky.social), Matt from The Path of Ascension, and Vincent from Death Loot and Vampires.

Oh snap, I didn't post this here yet, did I? I probably should be better about these social media thingies :D Anyway, have some LitRPG video game, you guys! www.youtube.com/watch?v=klAa...

Oh wow, close to 500 followers! Nice! :) In the grand tradition of abusing my powers, let me highlight the podcast I did with @davidcorbett.bsky.social ! :D Man, the discussions we had were so enlightening! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiJX...

See? I told you you wouldn't regret the follow. I hope you like @authoralexgilbert.bsky.social, RavensDagger, Benjamin Kerei and C. Mantis. More info to come soon! :D

Oooookay. So, I just logged in here for the first time since February, and was greeted by a humongous amount of "This person followed you" Notifications. First of all, UwU. Secondly, thanks a lot for the follows! I promise you won't regret it! :) Stay tuned...

PSA: it takes 10 reviews before the Amazon algo takes you seriously! :)

Now taking suggestions for PF authors to interview on the Podcast! The only rules are that you can't nominate yourself, and that I need to be able to contact them!

Keeping up with my trend of using my social media followship for good, I would be remiss to not point you guys toward ROVE. It's the first game of a friend, answering a question you never dared ask: "Diablo, but also Monkey Island?!" store.steampowered.com/app/1789070/... Rough Demo out now!!

I'm on the CritRPG podcast! Catch myself and @madix-3.bsky.social talking about why I love the web serial format, why I write what I do, and how to write a whole dang book here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IL5... #critRPG #podcast #progressionfantasy

My Buddy @authoralexgilbert.bsky.social has made a Bluesky account, and I think you should follow it! :D

Aaaand Ryn's Podcast episode is up on Patreon, and will go live in less than 14 hours on youtube :) Enjoy!

So, this week, I got Ryn, writing as Johnathan Smidt on the podcast! It was a wonderful discussion, and I can't wait to share it with all y'all. Also, I will be at Talk&Game Berlin next month, and you should come, too!

So why not abuse my new social power for good? If you haven't heard about @pepperedgame.bsky.social , you will be forgiven. It's a criminally underrated game made by a small studio in Berlin, and my friggin gawd, it is HILARIOUS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgek... Wishlist it! WISHLIST IIIIITTTTT!!

Oh, I actually have uh... followers. I do not know how to handle that, please send help, I am being followed. (Also, thanks! New Podcast Episode is up, this week with Ellake, the author of The Runic Artist! Next week will be David Niemitz of Guild mage fame.)
