Happy Ides Of March!!

Will we ever get to see another game set in the Blood Money universe?

Like a gangster IF or something? Have you thought about revisiting it?

I wouldn't say never, but I admit I haven't thought about it all that much. I loved making Blood Money and I do love the setting, but I've been enjoying coming up with entirely new things!

I did publish a short IF piece a few years ago that's a story set in like a... future, post-apocalyptic location somewhere in the Blood Money universe: you might enjoy it!

Lay your ancestor to rest

there is still time. there is still time. until your bones are in the fucking ground there is still time.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to let you know about the visual novel, On a First-Name Basis with the Dead, which I helped work on as the CG artist.

It's a urban fantasy following a gloomy necromancer who teams up with a cheery policewoman to solve the mystery behind a series of grave robberies, while learning about magic and possibly finding love along the way. Part 1 is currently available for free on Itch.io, with a 2nd part in the works! I hope you enjoy it if you decide to give it a read!

Year 1-5 of Skyrim being out: WOOOOOOOOW!!! Look at this sick war hammer Malacath gave me! This is so awesome, I-- YOOOOOOOO!!!! THAT DRAGON IS FIGHTING A GIANT, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Year 5-10 of Skyrim being out: I am roleplaying a deeply religious Dunmer. I will ONLY use the Ebony Mail, the Ebony Blade, and Azura's Star. I will follow their teachings, and only their teachings. The only times I don't follow their teachings is if I am literally forced on another path. I will shun and destroy any deity that is not Maphala, Boethia, or Azura. The Good Three are my light and my way.

Year 10+ of Skyrim being out: Hello Generic NPC. I know things about you. So many things. All of the things. I know where you sleep. I know what factions you're a part of. I have the sound of your foot steps memorized, I speak your words before you do. I desire for you, Generic NPC. Oh, not for anything as complex or personal as lust, Generic NPC. Nor hate. Nor is there any judgment here, Generic NPC. My reasons are more ancient, more sinister and, yes, more benevolent than anything you know too. I will follow you home, Generic NPC. I will watch you sleep, Generic NPC. I will cook only the meals you consume, Generic NPC. I will become you, Generic NPC. I will--

Hwiccewyrm trispiculum lived during the late Triassic, around 208-202 million years ago, in what is now England. It was one of the last known members of the procolophonid family, a lineage of small stocky lizard-like animals that had been widespread and abundant earlier in the Triassic.

(Traditionally procolophonids are classified as parareptiles, but some recent studies suggest this group is paraphyletic or polyphyletic, with some "parareptiles" potentially nesting within the diapsids instead.)

Measuring around 30cm long (~1'), Hwiccewyrm had wide flaring cheek bones ornamented with large spines, and like some other procolophonids it may also have had bony scute armor on its body. Its large blunt teeth suggest it was feeding on particularly tough foods such as fibrous vegetation or hard-shelled invertebrates.
