HK: Chapter 8
We made it to Vipani in just over a week of marching along the Gadah River, taking three days to leave the Mrudutalam Marsh. On the fourth, we passed by the burned-out remnants of the Romaka Castrum of Marcus Claudius Cestus and his Legions. Between the Romaka taking whatever could be salvaged and the Yavana looting wh...
HPLN: Scenes From Elsewhere: Ptolemies IV
With the Victory at Lahun and the Capture of Ptolemy Philadelphos, the first priority that Ptolemy Kerounos had was to ensure the swift surrender of the force of largely Native Egyptian Troops and War Elephants that the now-captive ex-Pharaoh of Lower Egypt had sent to quell the Serapian Revolt at Heliopolis. Ptolemy K...
NT: Chapter 110
As soon as I was finished giving Sheeva my Banking Details, I took a deep breath, prepared to head back into the arena for my final fight. I wasn't expecting one of Sheeva's muscular arms to grab onto my shoulder with a three-fingered hand. I felt another of her arms reach into the pocket of my jacket and depos...
F&L: Chapter 70
The rest of the term went by fast in a blur of training, classes, and socialization. On the whole, however, I was doing better than I had any right to be doing with a Basilisk loose in the school and a Guy like Lockhart, whose Mastery of the Mind Arts and willingness to jump off the slippery slope to mind control meant...
Announcement: BBG Up to Chapter Fifty-One Now Available for Regular Tip Jar
So, I don't know how else to let you guys know that now BBG is available up to chapter fifty-one for Tip Jar Members. Apparently, Patreon doesn't let you guys know when a story has been edited so that the Regular Tip Jar Tier can see it. I'm not entirely sure how to change that, but I'll look into it go...
BES: Chapter 17
They came out of the wreckage of the inner wall waving a banner of truce. Two armored Soldiers flanking a woman in clothing that, while dusty, was clearly well-made and well-tailored, marking her as a member of the court. We had been preparing to assault the inner ward of the Gangwhasong Fortress when they emerged, whi...
BBG: Images of New Equipment
All right, so here we have some images of some of the new gear that the Group picked up over the past week and a bit or so. I would have also included Razoul's Wrath and the Wyvern Hide Armor as well, but those already got images during the previous batch of images.At any rate, the next chapter will involve the arr...

RM: Chapter 115
I frowned, looking up at the Castle of Maidenpool as my ribs were bound up once again. Fresh bandages were applied by one of the Braavosi Physicians I had hired for my officers and I. I felt better about those than I did the Maesters. The Maesters had their own political agendas, after all. That was how the Dragons had...
EV: Images for Chapter Thirty
All right, so here we have the images for Chapter Thirty. We see the Harpe-Class Bombers and Trishul-Class Defensive Satellites, along with what Pallas looks like. I modeled the Harpe-Class on the B-Wings from Star Wars, which is why they look like that. They're effectively bomber craft that can destroy cruiser-lev...
F&L: Chapter 69
The Ritual Period, as I had taken to mentally referring to the upcoming sixteen-day period, was fairly Jam-Packed. Not only did I have rituals to perform, classes to attend, tutoring sessions to go to, but I also had Cross-House Study Group Sessions to participate in, Clubs to attend, and personal training to undertake...
BBG: Chapter 51
As we traveled south to Fisherman's Lake, we once again had to pass the time spent in a state of mindless trudging with music. Thankfully, I was all too willing to oblige and offered a number of songs to mitigate the drudgery of walking as we traveled. Mind you, we did have to stop for rest, though we managed to go...
BBG: Chapter 50
High Hedge turned out to be a relatively forested area, lush and green as compared to the rocky, canyon-like terrain where we had previously adventured and helped Drizz't deal with the Gnolls. It ought to be different, mind, as it took us sixteen hours just to make our way over here. Of course, time passed somewhat...
Announcement: Poll Results
So it seems like of those who voted, you guys are split down the middle about the extra tier. I'll throw one up and see how it does. I will be keeping my original tier, mind you, but the second, $3.50 Tier will get an extra chapter of BBG, BES, and EV every month before anyone else gets access to them, plus I will ...
Announcement: Thinking About Adding a Second, Higher-Tier Subscription to the Patreon
If I made a second, higher-tier subscription, raising my price for that second tier by a dollar, would people sign up, and if so, what would you guys like to see from it?I'm thinking of things like adding in a poll for people to choose a new story they want me to write. Something like that, a second-tier story that...
OG: Images for Chapter Forty-Seven
All right, so here we have the images from the Battle of Vimera. A lot of these are images of the various dead Captains that the MC's forces slew during the Battle, with most of the others being various Beasts of Chaos the Corpsecaller's Bray Shaman summoned to distract the Artillery. There are still a few frie...

OG: Chapter 47
I lashed out with my Runeblade, carving apart the shield of an Ox-headed Bovigor with a black iron axe and a bronze and wood shield. It let out a bellow at me as it slashed for me with its axe, only to find the tip of my runeblade buried in its throat. A whining bleat ensued even as the axe dropped from suddenly nervel...
NT: Chapter 109
As the match between Chun-Li and I began, it did so with a remarkably mundane exchange. I dropped into a Hung Gar Stance, intending to begin with mundane martial arts and work up from there. Somehow, Chun-Li seemed to guess my intentions, either that or there really was something to the Motto that Martial Artists commu...
HK: Chapter 7
The first thing that I had to do in order to get my forces ready for the war was to reforge the Lorica and equipment into something better. Romaka Lorica was good, sure, but it wasn't good enough that I was comfortable taking men into battle wearing it. Instead, I borrowed a forge and began to reshape it using meth...
HK: Images for the Past Two Chapters
All right, here we have the images of important people from the last two chapters. As you can clearly see, they're all capes. That's largely because even with a version of Earth Bet that has Badass Normal Folks, it's still the Capes that tend to be the heavy hitters. At the same time, I have both Krieg and ...

EV: Chapter 30
Yuezhi was a rugged planet, largely mountains and deserts with very little in the way of Water. Two major population centers were where the people lived, along with a smattering of smaller villages. These were Khydamos for the Hellenic Settlers, around the main Desert Oasis, and Qinhuang in the Mountains for the Han Se...
RM: Chapter 114
The Tattered Prince had ferried his troops out of the Town in the night, commandeering several cogs from the ships trapped in the Harbor of Maidenpool to do so. Salhador Saan and the Fleet met with him aboard the Goldenwood Hull Galleon that served as his flagship, the Triple Seven, and transferred the funds that we ha...
HK: Interlude: Meanwhile, In Brockton (ABB)
The Yakuza Officer known as Iron Club Fujimori was nervous. The Empire had apparently torched one of their Heroin Depots out near the boundary line and killed a bunch of Old Man Yeung's Boys, with the Old Man himself being literally impaled through the chest in his restaurant upstairs. Old Man Yeung had been a good...
