Entry into EndMaster's 2024 Prompt Contest! 

The Faceless Knights uphold divine law, crushing mutation and degeneracy whenever they encounter it. When the young lord of a recently-conquered territory calls for a true servant of God, you must answer. 

This game has a sequel.

A short, silly, high-octane ride through a cyberpunk future where your bullets are few, your friends are fewer, and the long tentacles of the law are slithering up your pant legs. 

I am aware that technically, writing a sentence in all capital letters is gramatically incorrect. I did this on purpose, several times, for stylistic effect. If you point this out in the reviews, a team of hit-apes will kick in your door. 

Winner of EndMaster's 2024 Crisis Contest! 

This is a sequel to A Prayer for Destruction. It is highly recommended that you read that work before beginning this one.

The North, that frozen-over land of fanatics and heathens, has suffered a great and mysterious calamity. The Sultan bids you raise your banners and ride in his name to investigate.

"Death is struck and nature quaking;
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making.
Lo, the book, exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded;
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth."

-- Dies Irae

Ultimately, the fate of life is to destroy itself.

this is so fucking stupid

Also, I've read three rather noided nonfiction books recently for anyone who wants to become a schizophrenic. Eye of the Chickenhawk, Aberration in the Heartland of the Real: The Secret Lives of Timothy McVeigh, and The Fort Bragg Cartel. 

These are serious nonfiction but have a toe in the world of conspiracy. That's important, because if you're not at least a bit of a conspiracy theorist now you're a lunatic. 

Yeah, that's been on my list a while. My girlfriend also recommended I check it out, so it seems that one will be next. 

If you like Piranesi, House of Leaves is an obvious one. 

I recently really dug Hollow by Brian Catling, fucked up historical fantasy horror novel about Hieronymous Bosch paintings coming to life 

Was the deadline not, like, yesterday? 

Did this one a few days ago 

Wasn't that Drako? 

Yeah, they're good. 

I think there's probably room for criticizing the Islamic Republic, which is undoubtedly brutal, without endorsing what the pro-war camp has to offer: restoration of an autocratic monarchy, or propping up a corrupt sham democracy. The idea that American intervention in the Middle East will create a stable international partner interested in human rights strikes me as rather naive, considering the United States' record in state-building. 

Please do

Learning Latin isn't getting you any closer to the base text of the Bible. It is, however, essential to scholars of the Vulgate and people who study medieval documents. 

For the Bible, you need Hebrew and Greek. And Aramaic, but only for a little bit of it.
