NEWS and NOTES: October 2017 Edition

Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to another round of NEWS and NOTES. It's a new season of 'Arcana Magi Universe'! 8 YEARS IN! And a new schedule pattern.

NEWS:

- Monday, October 9th, 2017: 'Arcana Magi Pure Zero' - Chapter 1

- Monday, October 23, 2017: ' Arcana Magi Pure Zero' - Chapter 2

NOTES:

-I apologize for not updating 'Arcana Magi Universe' chapters on Fictionaut as planned. Between 3 tabletop games and Gen Con and life issues, I had zero room to do the editing that I wanted. I didn't even get to finish updating 'The Impossible Man' like I wanted. Progress on 'Splatterbomb' and others are pacing along nicely.

-'Arcana Magi Pure Zero' is a tentative title, I am not sure what would be the best way to title it, so it will be a last minute decision.

Wednesday Rants: April 2017 Edition

Greetings Fellow Readers! This month I am only going to talk about 'Arcana Magi'. There are something I would like to address and give understanding for those who are new to the series. Let's begin.

[The State of Arcana Magi]

  In October 9, 2009 I released a short story on Fictionaut called 'Alysia's Saga: The Awaken'. It was just a one off short to dip my feet as a new member of Fictionaut. I came into Fictionaut with the intent of training myself on how to write. Along the way I decided to write two more sequel shorts stories, 'Megumi's Fable: The Advance' and 'It's so Wonderful, It's so Beautiful', and that was the end. Somewhere along the way, my mind decided to write a new fantasy series titled 'Arcana Magi' and I ended up grandfathering in the aforementioned short stories titling them 'Arcana Magi Zero'. Before I knew it, 5 years went by and I was celebrating a 5th anniversary of a series I never had intentions of creating.

  This is the point I am trying to make. 'Arcana Magi' just kind of happened. And the entire purpose of the series evolved to do two things. 1) Teach myself writing and experiment with different ways of writing and grammar. That's why when you read older stories, you notice things like this "___' instead of this "____". Everything that you have been reading is just one big experimental writing, to help me understand writing and nuances. And 2) keep my interest in writing in general. As time went on - even though I have written other works - real life issues and my creative goals were taking a step in the forefront and writing other types of stories were taking a backseat. I feared that if I stopped writing all together, I would lose interest in writing in absolute. So 'Arcana Magi' became my seat to keep my interest in writing.

  Never in my life did I anticipate this story to have gone on this long - 7 years - and I came to the conclusion that I might as well just ride the wave. Hence the comic book adaptation and tabletop game design waiting in the wings. Every year I take the summer break from 'Arcana Magi' and I come back in October with the same consistent number of views. So clearly, I am doing something right with this story, despite the grammatical and spelling horrors.

   See, because of the 2 points I made above, I never concerned myself, even today, about grammar and spelling because I still see posting 'Arcana Magi' on Fictionaut as a training tool and interest holder. It was never meant to be anything big, and I still see this story as these two points. Now does that I mean I shouldn't take care of my stories and not fix them? No, I should take care of them, it's a matter of when. I tried to do so last year, but real life and game development ate into the time I wanted to fix 'Arcana Magi' up. Truth of the matter is, if I don't position my life in a way that I can clean up 7 years worth of story without killing myself, I'll never straighten the series out.

  So yes, I am aware of grammar and spelling, and I want to fix it all up, but I need to free myself in the real world, with the real world responsibilities around me settled in a manner that I can position my life's goals in a way that this is... ALL OF THIS... is my secured 9 to 5 job. Then I can finally, with little stress, fix 'Arcana Magi' for everyone's enjoyment and entertainment.
 
  I want to thank all of you, for tolerating the state of 'Arcana Magi's' writing and toughing it out all these years. I greatly appreciate all of your patience, and loyalty.

Until next time...

See ya.

Wednesday Rants: March 2017 Edition

Greetings Fellow Readers! The Months of Feb. and Mar. have been very eventful. However, each topic is going to be very brief. So let's begin.

[Business Weekend]

So this past weekend I was off to another business weekend hence the early release of 'Arcana Magi Memorial'. And having seen the number of views within 8 hours, I want to thank all my fellow readers for following the 'Arcana Magi Universe' through thick and thin.

[Games]

Splatterbomb and Savage Strikers are now in the dark. They are currently in submission stages now so there will no more information on them from this point forward. I would like to thank everyone who participated in playtesting both games at NYC-Playtest and other events.


[Arcana Magi Universe]

'Arcana Magi Memorial Vol.7-c.5' is on for next Friday as scheduled.

'Arcana Magi Gaiden' the Deck Building Combat Game had a big setback over my Business Weekend, but I rebounded within 24 hours and back on track. I am looking into writing a short story, possibly an anthology for 'Arcana Magi Gaiden', I would say stay tuned for any announcements.

[The Impossible Man on Kindle]

I am now at Chapter 7 with the cleanup. The whole month with Business Weekend, personal issues, and 'Arcana Magi Gaiden' development slowed me a bit but I at least push a little further with the update for Kindle.

[Merchandise]

Remember 'Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb Theme)' on iTunes/Amazon and Splatterbomb T-Shirts on Spreadshirt are still available. Grab some Merch today.

Wednesday Rants: February 2017 Edition

Greetings Fellow Readers! Sorry for the late rants tonight, I am so wrapped up with this weekend among other things. So let's begin.

[Business Weekend]

So this weekend I am off on business and have spent the past 3 days working on Splatterbomb's art portfolio, hence the late Rants. The game is pretty much done and will be on the submission block soon, starting this weekend.

I do have another game on the submission block as well so this year I am looking to publish two games.

There is an NYC-Playtest meetup this Saturday, I highly visiting the group and playtest their protoypes.

[Arcana Magi Universe]

Arcana Magi Memorial Vol.7-c.3 is still on for next Friday as scheduled.

Arcana Magi Crossworlds Deck Building Game is now re-titled Arcana Magi Gaiden. Gaiden in Japanese means Tale or Side Story depending on context, in this case, it is a side story tot he series. The purpose is so that the deck building game doesn't get pigeon-hold by the stories I have written. This normally happens to games based on licensed works like Harry Potter or Star Wars where they get restricted to what was already done in movies or books that were released and the publisher is not allowed to create new characters or settings for the games. With Arcana Magi Gaiden it opens up the game to original characters and location in addition to current characters found in my stories. The playtesting is on a good start and it looks like it will get better.

[The Impossible Man]

I am now at Chapter 6 with the cleanup. Everything is pacing along nicely. Stay tuned for the updates release on Amazon Kindle.

I wanted a lot more to say, but with everything going on between life issues and business, I completely forgot what I was going to address. Thank you all for listening to my rants.

Until Next Time...

See ya.

Wednesday Rants: January 2017 Edition

Greetings Fellow Readers! It's 2017 and the Rants have returned! Wooo... Let's get started.

[Arcana Magi Universe]

I hope you are having fun with Season 7 of 'Arcana Magi Universe' on Fictionaut.

The Short Stories are going to be set back to public mode at the end of Season 7 on Fictionaut. It's just takes too long for the new chapters that I post up to get out of the front page, and I don't want to risk missing my deadlines due to waiting to reinstate.

To give context, due to contractual obligations I had to set the short stories to private mode. However, I cannot change them over to public mode because when I post up a new chapter, it sits on the front page. See back in the early years of Fictionaut, people had the tendency to post and lot of their stories all at once, and on Fictionaut's front page, all you would see are stories from that one person. So, stories from 5 different people would be pushed off the front page without a chance of being read because one person posted five of their stories up at once. The developers of the website restricted the posting to 1 story per page, and it seems that stories in Private Mode are affect as well. Which means that my new chapter plus resetting a Short Story back into public mode is the equivalent of posting 2 stories on the front at once. If that makes any sense. So for now, I'm prioritizing the new Season over the Short Stories and once this season is over I will bring the Shorts out of private mode. In the meantime, if you want the short stories, you can get them at Amazon Kindle under the 'Arcana Mafi Universe Shorts Collection', but you can also wait it out, it doesn't bother me.

'Arcana Magi Crossworlds' the deck building game is now track thanks to the development of my other deck building game. The layout and rules are set and I will be making my playtesting round this year to get it to publishing level. I do need to warn that if should any of you actually attend any event to playtest 'Arcana Magi Crossworlds', there will be spoilers since there will be a Season 8 in October.

[Splatterbomb

So after making my first pitch back in 2016, I had put it aside on hiatus to focus on a smaller deck building game I am working. This year I am coming back to Splatterbomb. What the plans are I will announce at a later date.

Just so you know, the T-shirts are still on sale at Spreadshirt and 'Peanut Butter Jelly' is on sale at iTunes and Amazon.

[The Impossible Man]

I am cleaning up 'The Impossible Man' on Kindle. I will announce when the novel update will be released on Kindle. Amazon has a new program I would like to take advantage of and I am giving The Impossible Man one more treatment just to make sure it's nice and clean. I'll let you all know when the time comes at a later date.

[Playtesting]

Just a heads up, this Saturday, January 21, at Brooklyn Game Lab is another NYC-Playtest Meetup. I am bring 'Savage Strikers' and 'Arcana Magi Crossworlds' for playtest, but time is limited there, so only one may get tested. Look to Twitter for start time.

That is all for the rants. I thank you all for listening.

Until next time...

So, I went to Kindle and reduced the price of 'Arcana Magi Universe Shorts Collection' from $2.99 to $1.99. However, due to the collection currently released on Kindle, I had to set the shorts to Private Mode in Fictionaut. I am deciding whether I want to keep the collection on Kindle or not because of this, expecially since the Arcana Magi's Fifth Anniversary was 2 years ago. The other problem I'm having is that Fictionaut won't let me set the shorts back to Public Mode because 'Arcana Magi Pure Vol.7-c.5' is currently occupying the front websites front page, which is very annoying, and it's still up there as of this writing. Once all of this straighten out, I'll decide then what I want to do with the Short Stories. I apologize for all inconveniences regarding 'Arcana Magi'.
