Last week the Related To Geeks Book Club discussed "Armada" by Ernest Cline. Next month we'll take on The Epic Of Gilgamesh, the story that started fantasy literature thousands of years ago. Needless to say Gilgamesh is public domain. There is a download link to the translation we're reading here.

I like to write fantasy as well as read it. My specialty is super shorts, one page short stories. Here's a link to one I wrote called "Elphonium".

Lately I've been following #microfiction, #10wordstories, and #sixwordstories. So here's my six word story.
And then the sun went nova.

Send me your short fiction.
Role playing games are collaborative story telling. Join us tonight on Inspired Unreality to talk about it.
Thanks,

#SixWordStories is a thing.
Xan is an expert.
Here’s my first shot at #SixWordStories.

Tonight at 9:00 PM Central the Related To Geeks Book Club will be discussing "Armada" by Ernest Cline. Find us in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord. Ernest Cline also wrote "Ready Player One" and like with that book "Armada" has a strong gamer component. Some of the characters even have a regular D&D campaign.

Last week Alan joined us on Inspired Unreality open game chat and we discussed the recasting of Monsters as regular people in D&D 5e among other things. That was fun. I might decide I want to play and Orc or an Ogre but I'm not sure how much I want to be a civilized Orc or Ogre.

FollowMeAndDie posted "Episode 184 - My Campaign - Continued Desert Travels by Follow Me, And Die! A podcast on Anchor."
https://gamerplus.org/newsfeed/2389
Megan posted Episode 3 of Indie Five. She says, "I talk briefly about five indie games I've played recently." Check it out.
https://gamerplus.org/video/view/62
worldofwarcraftlee discusses a hidden insect in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I think the insect is actually a bug. Read it for yourself.
https://gamerplus.org/blogs/post/243
After years of one offs and intermittent schedules I find myself in two weekly campaigns. Family game is 5e and the other game is "Chronicles Of Ember" which is Furry and Dangerous. What games are you playing? Are you lucky enough to be playing or running a regular campaign? Sounds like a good topic for Inspired Unreality. Message me.
