Valentines in an Apocalypse
What happens when the apocalypse is over; to love, strained and torn?
How do you pick up the pieces, when life stabilises?
It’s a question our heroes must ask themselves, when they’re no longer fighting off swarms of monsters, no longer struggling for Credits and Levels.

A New Script
Every moment, filmed. Every struggle, recorded.
Day to day life is hard for film students. Whether you’re an editor, a scriptwriter or a videographer, it’s never easy. More so when an apocalypse has arrived, taking with it the industry you’ve dedicated your life to and leaving you with Skills ill-suited to a post-apocalyptic fantasy hellscape.
But humans are adaptable and Skills, with just a touch of imagination, can be wielded with precision.
And if there’s one thing this party has, it’s imagination galore.
A New Script is set in the second year of the apocalypse (between books 4 and 5) and features new characters.

Daily Jobs, Coffee and and an Awfully Big Adventure
Some Adventures Begin and End Small
Life after the Apocalypse is one daily grind after another. It’s a good thing for Wendy that she’s got friends. A lot of friends as a fairy summoner.
But life in Exeter is not easy, even for a summoner and the grind of daily jobs and never-ending quests is getting to her. She’s got one shot at getting a place for her own, a place of safety and maybe getting ahead. But it’ll require Wendy to do the one thing she swore she’d never do again.
Fight monsters.

Adventures in Clothing
Some quests require ass-kicking; others require clothing designers.
The System Apocalypse has brought the clothing industry, and just about everything else, to a grinding halt. Now Lana Pearson intends to kickstart the local industry into gear to help Vancouver self-sustain itself. Key to her strategy are special teams of non-combat Classes.
Meg, Hanna, Cassidy and Obrav are Cosplayers, Tailors, Models and more. Not your usual team combination at all. But it’s not your usual Quest they’ve been given. If they’re going to meet Lana’s needs, they’re going to have to think outside the sewing pattern.

Questing for Titles
What’s in a Title? That which the System gives by any other Title might not smell as sweet.
In the System Apocalypse, a single Title can make or break a build. And in the entire Galactic System, there are Title Seekers, those who make it their life quest to acquire the most unusual and rare Titles possible.
Earth, a new Dungeon World offers multiple possibilities. Not least among them, the one from a familiar set of golden arches. For the Kyaz, it’s a chance in a million to get a rare Title. If he can manage to evade the machinations of a fellow Title Seeker and trust his human sidekick, Xi Ping.

Blue Screens of Death
Morning in Whitehorse, and everything is the normal. All too normal. A girlfriend who loves him, an evening at the farmer’s market in Shipyard’s Park. Idyllic, relaxing, peaceful. What more could a man want?
John Lee isn’t sure, but stray thoughts intrude, and memories of a different time, a different place, a different world keep intruding. Angst-ridden, exhausting memories of a world of pain and struggle. Nothing like the paradise he lives in.
Now, if only John wasn’t so attracted to them.
This short story is set between Books 9 and 10. Minor spoilers included within.

My Grandmother’s Tea Club
A Tale About Grandmothers, Civilisation and the System Advent
Oy! You’re looking long in the face. The System getting you down? Monsters not dying fast enough? Or you lost another friend?
Ah, the middle one. I get you. It’s tough out there, but let me tell you, it ain’t nothing like the Advent. You’re old enough to have lived through it, but if you buy me a drink – some good Apocalypse Ale will be fine – I’ll tell you a story you probably never heard before of the System.
One about my Gran Gran and her tea club.
