The writing in The Acolyte is incredibly erratic and disjointed. - It's a revenge story - Except the one doing the revenge caused the revenge - Others forgot they exist - The revenger decides not to bother - One revengee accepts his fate... even though he is in no way responsible

The writing stays just as terrible in episode 5, but on the plus sides: - There is a LOT of lightsabre action - There is very little dialogue or plot, so you can't tell how much they forgot to write it On the down sides: - Villain covered in Plot Armour - Still totally erratic

Why are non-SFF books so short how am I meant to get this done in 90k words it's bonkers

Do you plan your games to let your players play out the things they want, or do you sandbox so they just have to react? #TTRPGs #DnD

Hey #dnd5e players! I think magical items in 5e are so dull! Would you allow a magical item this powerful into your campaign? At what character level? And do you run monsters as powerful as Taathgenaaz here? He was a 6 hour fight for a party of 6 level 13 characters. #DnD

There's a cuckoo outside the window being very annoying. The same call, over and over again. "A-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee! A-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!" It's so piercing and annoying.

I made this joke up about 3 years ago. I find it so funny when I do it, I actually laugh aloud for like 3 minutes every time. 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ It does work better if you hear it aloud but NOBODY GOT IT? It is probably Catriona Ward is writing's least favourite joke.

Spotted in B&N in Walnut Creek, CA 😄😄😄😄 Honestly, they're not wrong

I'm tired of all the male-oriented vitamins, shampoos and deoderant products all being made to "help with your hectic lifestyle." What about my largely sofa based, DnD map-making, stream watching lifestyle? Will nobody think of me?

Ninth Life is published TODAY by Titan Books! Very proud of this one. What's it about? Truth and fiction, the power of stories to change the world, collective memory, the importance of witness testimony... waterstones.com/book/ninth-lif…

Been down a bit of a World of Warcraft void hole recently. Cleared SoD Heat 3 last night, so the day I farmee 237 elementals to get enough rep for the fire resistance to raid really paid off. Is it 2004 and gosh there were riots apparently I missed all that

Being a guy on the internet these days is mostly about dreaming of a video game where you're a dude who shoots zombies in a line and gets multipliers and upgrades and it's math based. But that game does not exist. And never will. Except in ads. For shit games.

Just completed an edit on a full fantasy manuscript. If you're a budding fantasy author who'd like a manuscript critique (up to 150k words), I conduct developmental edits with a 2-3 week turnaround. Prices are on my website edmcdonaldwriting.com

If you haven't caught onto Gareth Hanrahan (also on bluesky)'s Lands of the Firstborn trilogy I heartily recommend it. Fantasy that feels like fantasy did when I was a teenager, and that's the kind of fantasy I love the most.
