Chapter 10 Sneak Peek! - Stormweaver II

As Aria led the way, pressing across into one of the low rows to pick a seat near the lecture podium at the front of the class, even he had to work not to look surprised as Grant followed them, tailing Viv at Rei’s back to claim a chair to her right, making their group a foursome that took up most of their claimed aisle.

What was stranger, though, was that Rei couldn’t bring himself to be as displeased about this fact as he might have been a week or two ago…

Low-Rez Final Playmat Art!

Hey everyone! Attached is the final art for the playmat Kickstarter coming later this year! This will be available to everyone as a wallpaper down the line, and Patreon supporters as an additional designed wallpaper and postcard!

We are aware that people are surprised by Rei's "size" on this cover, but there are three things to keep in mind:

  • First: perspective. If you look at Grant's nearly-7-foot-tall frame, then Aria's 5'11", then Rei standing at the front, you will realiz...

No chapter today, BUT... First Stormweaver Secret Project REVEALED!

Hey everyone! I'm taking my "healthier pace" seriously, and really taking advantage of the reduced stress to take my time and get the new Stormweaver material right! For that reason, this is going to be the first time there will be more than two weeks between chapters. I hope not to do it again anytime soon, and shouldn't have to at the pace of creation I'm maintaining now!

That being said, I do have a really, REALLY cool announcement just for you guys, finally revealing one of...

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER II - Chapter 9 [ROUGH]

Hey all! Bryce here. NGL, it's a lot easier to write when I don't feel like the dagger of expectation is hovering over my head! 

Here's Chapter 9 for you. I ripped through like 2.7k words this morning and haven't gone through them again, so the second half of this chapter is REALLY rough, but with Chapter 10 I'll release a "The Story So Far" for anyone who want to reread. That collection will be slightly cleaner given I go back every couple months and reread everything to keep the ...

ART: Stormweaver Sketches - Secret Projects

More stuff from secret projects we can't tell you guys about, but we wanted to get you some cool Stormweaver art to make up for not having a promised Chapter yesterday!

Hope you like it! And now, we won't tell you what they're for hehehe

Ps: we know Rei is WAY too tall in the illustration sketch haha. We're having it fixed

Sorry everyone. I really need a break.

I'm so sorry, and I will try not to make promises from now on that I'm not 100% sure I can keep, but I'm very much feeling the stress of a lot of things right now, and I need to take a breather for a few days or so so I don't end up burning out completely.

I'll make sure to get you guys some cool Stormweaver stuff in the meantime so your money is still well-spent, but I absolutely need to step away from the story for a few days or I'm going to start hating sitting down to write, which I...

A few things regarding Stormweaver (including Chapter 9).

Hey all Bryce here. Three quick things:

  • I love all of you, but please, please, DO NOT ping me asking about chapter updates and the like. There are almost 1000 of you at the time of posting, and despite it barely being 3pm where I am, I have received almost 30 questions across Patreon messages, Facebook, Reddit, and email asking about a chapter update, including from before I woke up. It's incredibly stressful when I am already working very hard to get you content...

ART: Secret Stormweaver Project

Hey all! Couldn't sleep so decided to share something fun. First of many illustrations in a secret Stormweaver project we have coming probably in 2023 and 2024! 

While the art isn't as detailed as many of our covers, let's just say there's a good reason for that, and we still absolutely love this for what it's intended for.

Hope it gets a few people excited!

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER II - Chapter 8.5 [ROUGH]

EDIT: The first portion of the chapter is virtually identical to the post from two weeks ago, barring some light edits.

Hey all! Sorry for the delay. As ever the day got busier than expected, but I swore I'd get this to you so here you go! Hopefully the length (5k words), will earn me some forgiveness.

Unfortunately the last 2k words or so of this chapter "8.5" hasn't been at all cleaned up, so it might be totally illegible. Sorry about that!

Regardless, hope you enjoy! View Post

Patreon-Exclusive Paperbacks of "A Mark of Kings" are on their way!

Patreon-Exclusive Paperbacks for Q4 of 2021 are finally on their way out the door! We're REALLY hoping to get Q1 22's out before the end of the quarter to catch us up to what we owe all of you, but it's going to depend on the artist and our printer turnaround!

Hope everyone likes the looks of the books, though!

Stormweaver 8.5 coming TOMORROW! We PROMISE!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the second delay! Bryce isn't feeling 100% after the week, so he didn't wrap 8.5 as expected today! We've made him promise to watch anime all evening and go to bed early, so he can knock it out in the morning and get it out to you tomorrow night! After that, he also promises to have 9 to you this coming Friday!

So sorry! This week really took it out of all of us on the team!

Possible delay of Stormweaver Chpt. 8.5

Hey all, Bryce again! I know I promised to have you guys the second half of 8 tomorrow, but there's two problems:

  • The Mother of Learning: ARC 1 Kickstarter has been absorbing ALL my time for the last couple of days.
  • The second half of 8 is longer than expected, and could honestly be its own chapter except the pacing would feel off.

Quick apology for the lack of coms this weekend, and answering some Stormweaver questions!

Hey all, Bryce here!

First, let me apologize for the lack of communication over the weekend. As many of you know, we usually try to answer questions asap, particularly in regards to Stormweaver. However, Friday through Sunday was a Magic: The Gathering pre-release event (they happen every 2 to 4 months), which I always cut out exclusively for personal time without so much as looking at a screen if I don't have to.

That being said, I had a great weekend with friends, so I'...

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER II - Chapter 8 [ROUGH]

Here we go friends! A few rules & reminders:

  • Chapters will be dropping as Bryce completes them. That means anywhere from every 1 to 2 weeks on average, though sometimes waits may be longer.
  • Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.
  • On a similar note, we are not asking for advice or corrections at this time. If Bryce wants feedback, we will certainly reach out, thank you!
