A D&D Quick Note

      If you have been reading my blog for the last three or four months, you may have noticed that I am in the process of running a D&D campaign. The last two or three months, I have been posting companion pieces called The Mat-Zemlya Companion.      For those of you not in the D&D circles (New Horizons or Chaos Party, to be exact), I will explain in a more detailed blog post or series of blog posts in 2026.      If you are in the D&D circles (New Horizons or Chaos Party), you may only see a few posts. Just check in at your leisure, preferably at the end of each month. And feel free to pass the link around. I'm sure it will be fun for everyone. Including my other DM cohort/chaos companion.     To see more of the posts, click the label "D&D Companion" on the sidebar. That should give you all of them to read. If not, feel free to just check for the dates, often closer to the end of the month. Or reach out to me for a ...

Just A Thought For A Novel

      I have been watching a lot of people that are idiots for the sake of being idiots online, often to the enragement of those watching their online content. Lolcows, they get called. In the past, I used to be readily aware of two said lolcows: Amber Reid and Chantal/Foodie Beauty.     Since then, I've moved away from them only to find more. And I'm about ready to find a more creative outlet for my thoughts concerning all of these people and what I know of them.      Debating on writing a novel. Still debating it. If you happen to see this post in the ether of the Internet, I would love to know what you would think. I'm mainly on Discord, Instagram, and Threads. I am eliminating any other social media platforms I have slowly, so don't bother to find me otherwise.     Otherwise, there are also plans for other fictional works. I will be sure to let y'all know closer to the summertime.

Book Thoughts (formerly Book Review) #21

 The Gravedigger's Archaeology By William Archila     As the start to 2026, this was definitely a rattler.      Normally, I go for something a hair lighter than this. Kind of thought this would be more comedic than it was. But this... This wasn't it.      This book is heavier, given the current context of events. It talks a bit about the grit of life, the spiral that life takes down to its inevitable death. And how even death isn't the end, but another path cycling back up to life in various ways. The grit is what gives it the endless nature of these things. The constant struggle to do more, do better, or do different.      At the end of the book, I received a reminder of the futility and ultimately the frivolity of life. Which in itself is an important lesson that I will be thinking about for the next month or so.

The Mat-Zemlya Companion, Part 6

      It's one thing to change a Nodo Fati.      It's another to re-write the course of a Nodo Fati entirely.      I'm not sure if it was the will of the two Custodius, or if there was something else amiss. Even while I've been stuck in the Void, I feel the changes. The shifts. And this time, there is nothing I can do to correct it.      Normally, I can correct these kinds of things. A tweak of character here, a well-placed McGuffin there. But now it is out of my reach. I'm probably going to be here for a while.      And I suspect that I'm not the only one here anymore.

You Know, I Get It

      "You know, I get it.  It's hard to be associated with both something forgotten and something unforgettable. I get it if that sentence alone makes me hard to understand. But maybe, in this little moment, I should introduce myself. Hi! My name is Pluto. But you can call me Plu."     I stared at the black abyss in the corner of my room. Plu stares back.      I don't know if I can go to bed tonight.
