This is it! The last day of the 5-days
FREE!!! FREE!!! FREE!!!
sale of the First Knight Shaman! This is the first book in the Founder's Age of the World of Paradigm Lost by R. Roderick Rowe.
With the upcoming release of the final novel in the installment, you will want to get in on the ground floor of this new EPIC experience!
What's being said about the upcoming novel,
The Third Book of the Knight Shamans?
"This story would most likely appeal to an adult 30+ audience with some college level education, who appreciate literary and speculative fiction. The ideal reader enjoys complex, character-driven narratives with deep philosophical and social focus. The significant LGBTQ+ representation and themes of religious trauma and spiritual exploration would make it particularly resonant with LGBTQ+ readers and those who support them.
It is for a reader who enjoys Frank Herbert's Dune and the moral ambiguity of Octavia Butler's work, rather than the typical post-apocalyptic survival thriller.
Similar books:
1. Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler.
2. The Stand by Stephen King.
3. The Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller Jr.

The Third Book of the Knight Shamans
... is back from the editor. The edits were so few that I was able to get them implemented in only a couple hours.
She loved it! Okay, as much as ANY editor can love/hate anything. LOL.
Here's some notes from other early explorers:
Nuanced Exploration of Faith
"The manuscript skillfully explores the nature of faith from multiple, contrasting perspectives. It presents faith as a source of oppressive bigotry (a "Christian" church), a tool for personal connection (shamanism), and a fallen, flawed system that has brought disaster into the world. This multifaceted approach creates a thought-provoking and complex thematic landscape."Confronting Past Trauma
"The theme that the past's problems don't disappear with civilization is effectively woven throughout the narrative. The re-emergence of religious fanaticism and the AIDS virus --both "old world" threats-- forces the characters to actively confront historical trauma rather than simply escape it, giving the story significant depth."And some VERY flattering character comparisons:
Justin Knight: Similar to Hari Seldon from Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series.
Rodney Knight: Similar to Leto II Atreides (pre-transformation) from Frank Herbert's "Dune Messiah."
Peter Williams: Similar to Paul Atreides from Frank Herbert's "Dune."Wow! Two comparisons with Frank Herbert's characters. And it's only a 50K novel!
Remember, the first novella in this trilogy within the World of Paradigm Lost is still free until tomorrow at midnight! What are you really waiting for? You gotta get started on this so you can be ready when the final book in the trilogy is released. Soon. VERY Soon!

Press Release: Oceania 2084 – A Dystopian Tabletop RPG That Challenges Players’ Morals and Choices
----
Step into the world of Oceania 2084, a darkly imaginative tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) inspired by George Orwell’s timeless novel, 1984. While not a direct adaptation, this game delves deeper into the dystopian landscape of a society that has long been eroded by state surveillance, corporate control, and the erosion of individual freedom.
Set in the year 2084, Oceania 2084 reimagines Orwell’s vision as though it were written today, offering players a harrowing yet thought-provoking experience.About Oceania 2084
----
Oceania 2084 is a tabletop roleplaying game that explores the moral and existential challenges of living in a world dominated by technofeudalism and totalitarian surveillance. The game is set within the superstate of Oceania, a society where resistance is met with brutal repression, but hope still flickers in the hearts of those who dare to resist.The game’s narrative is not a mere rehashing of 1984’s themes but an expansion upon them. Players are invited to consider what freedom means when it has been erased from the collective consciousness, what it means to win when victory seems impossible, and whether resistance itself is worth the cost of certain annihilation.
Unique Gameplay Mechanics
----
Unlike traditional TTRPGs, Oceania 2084 employs a novel system that removes the reliance on traditional dice rolls. Instead, players are tasked with making difficult choices about the actions they take, determining whether the risks and consequences are worth it. This approach forces players to confront the moral ambiguity of their decisions, as well as the long-term implications for themselves and their society.The World of Oceania
----
In Oceania 2084, the world is a blend of Orwell’s nightmarish vision and a speculative future where technology has become both a tool of control and a source of power. The state, known as the Conglomerate, wields total control over information, language, and dissent.
Corporations are intertwined with the state, using their resources to enforce compliance and suppress any signs of resistance.Exploring Resistance and Hope
----
At its core, Oceania 2084 is a game about the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity. Players are encouraged to explore the nuances of resistance, whether through guerrilla warfare, intellectual dissent, or acts of personal defiance. The game challenges players to grapple with questions of loyalty, identity, and survival in a world that seeks to extinguish individuality.The developer of Oceania 2084 hope to stimulate conversations about the dangers of state surveillance, corporate control, and the erosion of freedom. By providing players with the tools to make difficult choices, the game aims to spark a deeper understanding of what it means to resist—and why it matters.
Available Now
----
Oceania 2084 is available for purchase at select tabletop game stores and online retailers. The game comes with a beautifully illustrated rulebook, downloadable character sheets, and instructions for how to setup three types of campaigns that help players immerse themselves in the world of Oceania.For more information about Oceania 2084, or to schedule an interview with the developer, please contact:

Unwind
The Unwind Dystology was by far one of the weirdest things I’ve ever read. It’s a captivating, easy to read series aimed at young adults, but despite that, it’s nowhere near light reading. In this world, abortion is outlawed, but instead parents can ‘unwind’ their children between the ages of 13-18. This means that they ‘continue living’ in a ‘divided state’, as the euphemisms in this book […]

Season 4 episode 9.5: The Fantasies of Post apocalyptic Dystopian Fiction (Special Extra Bonus Half Episode)
There was so much to explore about post-apocalyptic fiction and the fantasies it allows us to have of, for instance, being the colonized "good guys" instead of the colonizer "bad guys" that we ended up with an entire extra half episode. What is the moral responsibility of reading post-apocalyptic science fiction? How should we feel about enjoying works that position white colonizers as victims?
Here it is! Enjoy!!
