In the next four days, Pragta of the Happy House concludes on Kickstarter.
The good news is, it’s hit goal, it’s printed and laid out, it’s definitely happening and it’s ready to go.
The bad news is, I’ve made sixty print zines of it, each with a unique cover, and only thirty of them have been claimed. OH WAIT, THAT’S ONLY BAD NEWS FOR ME, FOR YOU IT MEANS YOU CAN STILL GET ONE!
Pragta is a high-fantasy disaster story in which a sheltered teenage girl and one of her mothers sees the only home she’s known destroyed and has to flee, penniless, in the hold of a ship full of strangers. (Other than the aforementioned mom, that is.) But she steps up in a big way, helping the ship’s doctor and getting charged with nursing Pragta–the city’s most beautiful courtesan, who is feverish and battling an infection on her injured foot. A few storms, pirate attacks and blackout drinking sessions later, lessons are learned, but there’s no happily ever after. At least not yet.
This is the third novella in a well-received cycle, after Ninki Goes to the Arcane Academy and Into Debt Goes Ank. If you read Ninki, remember how her best friend’s mom worked at the Happy House? Yeah. This is her. On the Cocorai, the boat that rescued Ank. But if you haven’t read those, no problem–this story stands on its own, but also, if you want the whole Borzhu enchilada, you can get the first two at a mild but pleasant discount. Hell, you can even pick up a cool patch as an add-on.
If that’s not enough to excite you, how about a free Unknown Armies story?
Mick and the Love was paid for on Patreon a year ago, and has thus matriculated out to the free library here. That system may undergo some meaningful changes presently, stay tuned for that–but what it means right now is, on schedule, you get a free story about a manly and alluring podcaster talking about love problems with a middle-manager/thaumaturge.
Hope you like it!
