    Not yet, currently attempting to finish A King of Ruin: Book One of the Kingkiller Saga

    Been feeling a strong creative force these last few days and I've been juggling writing this and a new Fallout game, Fallout: Great Midwest

      Kingkiller Saga sounds too similar to Kingkiller Chronicle, but I guess it's hard not running out of phrases.

        It's a working title and just something I figured would be sellable

        My original title was Under the Light of the Metal Moon

          Under the Light of the Metal Moon

          That's far more original and cool sounding

            Knowing my luck, the publisher will probably be like "You need a title like Sword Fight: The First Wound" and I won't have the wherewithal to be like "no please no"

              The Metal Moon title is intriguing. I don't know that I'd pick it up off a shelf but I would 100% pass by King King King: King of Kings

      Man, Fallout has some real potential for some cool things having happened in the non-bombarded countries. Like imagine a world with no Great Satan.

        Problem is that by the time the Great War breaks out, nearly every other nation has collapsed or been destroyed in proxy wars

        Sticking with the Midwest because that's where I grew up and also gives me a reason to explore the politics of the Rust Belt

            If it makes you feel any better, one of the big factions is the Union of Atomic Workers who are trying to figure out a way to revive the regions agricultural output while also whipping the shit out of the baddies with repurposed industrial tools

              Nice. Please add some posadism; maybe like some people living happily and overall habing benefitted from the destruction of 'murica.

        It's mainly science-fantasy, so think along the lines of Thundarr, The Barbarian and Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth

        Less post-apocalyptic though
