Chapter 276 - Confrontation

Note : Chapters 278 and 279 have been written and added to the queue !

Massive thanks to TargetDrone ! For those who didn't see the note on Chapter 29 of The Dragon Imperium yesterday, my text editor just decided to replace their spell check with an incredibly invasive AI , and declared anything I wrote with it was now theirs to use or sell to train AI systems. I had to scramble for a replacement, and TargetDrone suggested LibreOffice, which allowed me to write the two chapters and save...

Chapter 29 - Going Hunting

Note : No new chapter to the queue, because my current text editor, WPS office, decided to replace its spell check with an AI spell check...and declared that everything you write will be automatically scraped to feed said AI and be sold to the highest bidder. So I'm having to leave it, except that word, the first alternative that came to mind, is made by fucking madmen and the formatting is ridiculous (change a single paragraph, it affects the whole FUCKING document), so, I'm scrambling for a...

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow, chapter 29 of The Dragon Imperium will be the post on patreon.

Also, the results of the poll were overwhelmingly in favor of google doc. I will not do the full switch just yet, as Patreon's text editor is currently working, but I will probably do so in the coming weeks (or whenever the next update breaking everything happens).

As for Ko-Fi, it is being set up, but might take a w...

Google Docs & The Future

Hello everyone.

I wanted to make this announcement for a couple of reasons. The main one is that I followed you guys' advice from a month ago, and set up some things to use google docs to share the advance chapters. Patreon's text editor is seemingly fixed now, but I am utterly sick and tired of having to grapple with it every time there's an update, and there's no telling when it'll break down again.

Thus, I would like to do a poll, to see if you guys would be fine with th...

The attitude in the tent wasn't 'gloomy'. That would imply a spark of light, of hope.

Joachim frowned as he looked at the report.

She was in. Only inside an airlock, true, but in nonetheless.

Going through the dungeon core's inner workings was still a pretty high priority project, hell, with the Church potentially angling to kill them it was quickly going to go back to the top slot.

Revised Map

Alexandra popped into the simulation, and sat down in her usual couch.

 

The fact that said couch had an extremely soft, borderline cloud like air pillow in her usual spot for her to sit upon, or that it was mercifully cool and soothing was something she very deliberately did not remark upon.

 

They could be teasing, but push came to shove her and Ghost would stand together.
