Ninefox Gambit RPG & a nefarious hexarchate project
Ninefox Gambit RPG is out! Or anyway, my friends have received their copies even if I haven't seen the hardcopy yet! You can get it from Android Press at itch.io (PDF, $9.99 USD) or from their site (epub, $9.99; paperback, $19.99; hardcover, $44.99).
In addition, I've prepared a free quickstart guide/cheat sheet that should give you a sense of the mechanics: PDF, epub, RTF. You're welcome to distribute the quickstart to anyone you think will find it helpful/interesting.

In other news, I'm trying to raise money toward some 2D animation video courses for Nefarious Hexarchate Reasons. :)
To that end, I have three slots for developmental editing or writing coaching sessions (sf/f, MG/YA/adult). This can be anything from a developmental edit of your completed novel to a session with your one- to five-page outline/synopsis and first couple chapters (if you're a planner or plantser!) where I help you figure out how to move forward or whether the structure/characters are working effectively to express your story, or an in-depth critique of your short story. Please contact me at deuceofgearsart@gmail.com if you're interested, and let me know the length/type of project (how many words, whether you have a completed draft or a synopsis or you want to discuss traditional publishing in sf/f or how to write a query letter for your project) so I can give you a quote.
Credentials: I've previously taught at Clarion West (2018) and Alpha Workshop (2019). My debut science fantasy novel NINEFOX GAMBIT won the Locus Award for best first novel, and was shortlisted for the Hugo, Nebula, and Clarke awards; its two sequels, RAVEN STRATAGEM and REVENANT GUN, were Hugo finalists as well. My middle grade space opera DRAGON PEARL won the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature and the Locus Award for best YA novel, and was a New York Times bestseller. I've had short stories in venues such as Tor.com, Sunday Morning Transport, Audubon Magazine, and Clarkesworld; I've also done narrative consulting for Counterplay Games (Godfall), game writing for Alderac Entertainment Group (Legend of the Five Rings), and tie-in work (Star Wars short story adaptation, contributing writing to Marvel's Thor: Metal Gods from Realm, formerly Serial Box).
