The interplanetary wars were the single largest conflict in Earth's human history in terms of sheer firepower and personnel deployed, although the number of fatalities was far lower than the Terran Hegemony Wars. While the Alpha Centauri Incidents technically involved more powerful nations, in practice even during the Third Battle of Alpha centauri the sheer travel time involved in getting to the star system and the multiplicity of interstellar interests b...
2022-10-27 20:43:44 +0000 UTC View PostHello ! Some of you might have already spotted this in the multiverse notes, but in short I am renaming The Dragon Realm to The Dragon Imperium. There's a variety of reasons for this but the main one is that there are simply too many stories called The Dragon Realm or variations thereof on Royal Road and Amazon. Plus in some ways Dragon Imperium makes more sense given where that story will head eventually.
As such, don't be surprised to see modifications on Discord or Patreon as I chang...

"So, how are our Republic guests behaving?" Asked Allya as she walked into the council room.
"Surprisingly well, all things considered milady." Said Anders as he gazed at the maps which now almost permanently covered the council table in some way or another, before looking up to his liege and smiling. "What about the dungeon's demonstration?

The bandit never had the time to finish her sentence as a steel tipped arrow lodged itself in her eye socket, killing her instantly.

This will only concern new patrons who will read this, but I have switched to subscription billing, meaning that from now on patrons will pay each month on the day they subscribe, instead of being charged the 1st of each month like they used to. Apologies to everyone who has signed up before this announcement and would prefer to do it this way but this only affects new patrons. This will avoid the issue of people signing up at the end of the month and having to pay twice. My ...

Alexandra smiled in satisfaction as she lifted up the new musket, carefully shouldered it, and squeezed the trigger.
The trigger action wasn't a smooth as she could have wished. And it was odd to see a musket without a flintlock, a matchlock, or any visible ignition mechanism, but she saw the flash of magic as the fire rune inside triggered.
It wasn't as good as she w...
