Next Time on Dragon Ball Wrightson...

 This is gonna be a short, sharp, sweet post. Next week will be a long and involved post on the production to date of my audio play 'The Angry House'. So this week, I'm posting a little early today (as I need to travel down) with some stuff that may tide readers over if they would like to read until next week, when stuff will really be happening.

*A Writer's perspective on Baldur's Gate 3: One of my recent favourite posts, mostly because I got the chance to talk a lot about something I really enjoyed.

*Mononoke yokai explained — For Fun!: By some strange mechanism, my most popular post on the website ever.

*Review – Novel – Stephen Cox’s The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder: My latest review of a genuinely great story, the author's first indie title.

*A (reasoned) defence of Ghibli's Tales from Earthsea: My second most popular post recently. And it's in the title.

*Writing and working for a future beyond sorrow: A piece that I wrote after s*** hit the fan in North America when a certain senile certifiable lunatic got re-elected.

*Short story - The Village: A two-part short story that I published here. Something you may enjoy for the spooky season.

See you next Sunday!

Two new Videos, for your enjoyment.

 Another month, another episode of my podcast. Or rather, a new episode, and a video that came about in--no joke--less than a week.

First, after much research and slight hair-tearing, an episode on the origins and modern version of Sinbad. I go into the character's origins, the whole issue of being bundled in with the Thousand and One Nights, some prominent portrayals in the 20th Century and how they compare to the original tales, and why Sinbad as we know him is anything but the original that entertained audiences since the 14th Century.

Second, a video that I published on Friday. In it, I take a retrospective look at a Final Fantasy project that's close to my heart ans one of my early inspirations. My very first Final Fantasy game experience at that: Fabula Nova Crystallis. I look at its representative titles, how the notorious mythos was supposed to work, and generally do the rounds of analysis and nostalgic but not rose-tinted retrospection.
