Had a super fun chat with the legends @PhilipChase90 and @adamcbassett recently, got to geek out about maps and Adam's excellent new book (I would know, I've been flipping through it).
Interested in worldbuilding and maps? Check out my discussion with Adam Bassett and @TallShepherd! πto vid in reply.

Eloquent prose, cosmic worldbuilding, and eclectic characters collide in this follow up to the SPFBO7 semi-finalist, The Path and the Way. Fallen Shards continues Jackson's surge onto the indie scene that just goes to show you that you absolutely can judge books by their covers.

Absolutely second this, have been wanting to read them for ages, a new BB set would be amazing.
@binding_broken @JannyWurts we need Janny Wurts to get the Malazan treatment asap. There are no great options for to get all of her books in hardcover and she deserves an amazing special edition.

I love this. Silksong is my game of the year for sure. Finished it, now cleaning up all the bits I missed (there's a lot of secrets).

With ARCs for The Scour by @Richard_S_Swan landing a few weeks back, feedback is starting to absolutely POUR in. Let's start with @FondaJLee . βPolitical corruption of the legal system, the machinery of empire, and the slippery slope that bends powerful men toward evil.β
