  2. Snack for TRPG session at 14:3! Hope these are good. They look iffy. LOL.
    Gearing up for today's playthru of BIOHEIST, my brand new #farfuture #biopunk #TRPG. GMing for the first time in DECADES and I am both nervous and excited. While the game itself comes with an adventure and COMPLETE rules, I'm running an original adventure of my own which might make it into subsequent versions of the game. #pocketquest2024 Link: preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/pr

  3. I'll be serializing my novella, Daimyo's Decoy, starting the new year. A #samuraipunk adventure. Kurosawa meets Miller (Mad Max), #mutants, #monsters and other strange entities. A young woman is called upon to use her "phantomechanism" to manipulate the dead daimyo's flesh to save castle and clan! #fiction #japan #samurai #scifi #farfuture

  4. The vibe: a million years in the future, the Great Pyramids restored to their original shiny-white glory, Betelgeuse's supernova in the sky, viewed on a rewilded Earth by only one pilgrim, alone in the dunes...

  5. Sometimes the dawn of a new age is seen not in the core, but in the periphery. Driven by assassins to the edge of the known universe, a lone genius must not only be an inventor but also intrepid explorer.

  10. An evening spent among friends in a gothic outpost far beyond any of the galaxies we know, where by the light of a roaring fire, the pitter-patter of freezing rain, the cracks of rolling thunder, they all nerd out over calendars, clocks, and timekeeping.

  11. Now brainstorming: a ghost girl in a haunted starship bewitches a boy who's of flesh and blood...or so he thinks.

  13. Also, I've taken the initiative to make another story from my blog available in ebook format: the short but so, so sweet "Girls' Night Out", a story of two little darlings appreciating one of the greatest of all cosmic wonders: amazon.com/dp/B0BG63H62Y

  15. More brainstorming: a story like "The Naked Jungle", set in the far future on such an exotic planet, a world that harbors some secrets...

  17. Mercury collides with Earth, making a Rocheworld in a comet-like orbit with seven moons in tow, tides of Miller's Planet proportions. Ooh...

  18. Now brainstorming: Earth transformed by apocalyptic planetary collisions into a Rocheworld with seven large moons (nine total), a passing stellar encounter flinging the whole system into a comet-like orbit. Tides and seasons would be truly extreme as life respawns.

  20. Two darlings of the far future wake up to an unexpected stopover at the universe's most sublime sight: a supermassive black hole.

  21. Humans are ageless in my sci-fi setting, but also much smarter. Will childhood be much longer? Shorter? Or something else altogether?

  22. That's *a lot* of mass, about as much as the whole observable universe, but imagine if a black hole grew enough to be immortal: an energy gradient for all eternity. No heat death of the universe. Ever.

  23. John Baez points out if a black hole grew beyond 10^22 solar masses its Hawking temperature would be colder than the minimum temperature the universe will ever reach (10^-30 Kelvin), thus it will keep growing *forever*, rather than evaporating: math.ucr.edu/home/baez/end.htm 😮

  24. A thousand years into the future? Those are rookie numbers! What of the really far future, like millions of years into the future?
