Buy the book!

I am just taking the opportunity to note that I rather unexpectedly took delivery of a book last night: Day of Demons edited by Colin F Barnes, published by Anachron Press and featuring a story by our very own littleonionz.

I bought a copy for my Kindle a few days ago and jokingly mentioned that she should sign the Kindle (what’s the point of knowing an author if you don’t get an autograph?), and suddenly in the post there was a signed proper book copy. I didn’t know such a thing existed, but there it is.

I haven’t read the book yet, but I shall let you know what I think when I do. In the meantime, the lady and her famberly have to eat, so go out and buy a copy from Amazon.

Do it. Now.

Look – here’s the URL. Don’t say I don’t make it easy for you:

Old ideas resurface...

There is a little tickle at the back of my mind suggesting that I should expand on the characters that I wrote sheets for players of the NWO Rome event all those many, many moons ago.

A few months back, I wrote a very short story based upon the Map-Maker. Somewhere in the back of my head, is the feeling that I should like to do something similar with the Assassin of Narbonne, though quite what as of yet…

The Assassin was a character conception I was particularly proud of, and one I intended to have available for the final game of the NWO cycle, but the arse nugget who phys-repped him ensured that I killed the Assassin off in downtime rather than have him played a second time like a festering pile of spineless jelly.

That said, it is now something like seven years – perhaps longer, I shall have to trawl through elderly LJ entries for be absolutely sure – since we wrote Rome and I think I can face revisiting the character and thinking up a story to fit him. Before now it would have taken wild horses¹ to drag it from me, but now..?

They were an interesting bunch, the denizens of il Duomo. There may yet be life in them yet, though not for players.



¹Perhaps only one, certainly no more than four of my friends will get that reference…
