Coming Up for Relic Worlds

Now that book 4 is out there, I’m looking ahead to what’s next for Relic Worlds.  There are 9 stories total in this main storyline, which means there are five more books to come.  (I can’t believe I’m not even halfway done!)

The overall structure was inspired by George Lucas’s idea of having 9 stories in the main storyline with 3 separate arcs.  Star Wars has a more obvious break between each group of stories, having 20 years and 30 years between them respectively, (that is, if you count the sequels, which I don’t.  I’m just using it here as an example.)

In Relic Worlds, the separation is thematic.  Books 1-3 are about Lancaster finding disjointed artifacts and trying to understand what they mean.  They’re more episodic in nature.  Books 4-6 are about the growing war between the corporate baronies while Lancaster gets on the track of what caused alien life to disappear.  Books 7-9 will deal with that answer, and what humanity will have to do to survive.

The short stories in between will deal with what’s happening at that time, and there will be stories even told by people who play the role playing game.  More on that coming up.

Relic Worlds, Book 4: Lancaster James & the Salient Seed of the Galaxy

 Book 4 of Relic Worlds is now available on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback formats!  You can find it here: https://amzn.to/3nvpJRf

In books 1-3, Lancaster has been locating artifacts and piecing them together to try to understand what happened to sentient life in the galaxy.  Now he’s searching for something different, a man.  Mika’s husband has gone missing, and though she is Lancaster’s ex-wife, he is the only one she knows with the skills to find him.

Book 4 was meant to be the shortest of the Relic Worlds books, but has turned out to be the longest because it’s building up to what will be known as the Relic Wars.

RPG Storytime - Gangbusters

The next series on the RPG Storytime podcast is Gangbusters.  This is a game from the early days of the 1980s which reflects the Roaring '20s.  Characters are typically gangsters or detectives dealing with the law from either one side or the other.  This series follows a private detective and his friend, a reporter.

I hope to one day use these characters in a book series.

Here is the first of the Gangbusters adventures, but there are a lot more, including more that are still coming out.

RPG Storytime - Dungeons & Dragons

The first weekly episodes of RPG Storytime had to be the classic where it all began: Dungeons & Dragons.  And what better adventures to do than some of the early classics from back in the '70s and '80s when I first began playing?

I've taken these adventures from my childhood and adjusted them to fit into my current world of Angepa.  I'm hoping to tie it all together as one large world where everything connects.

One of these D&D series is Indiana Jane & the Lost City.
