Enter the Dragon (Almost)
Whew. Almost there.
A Dragon’s Death Angel With a Gun
Back a few months ago, Jason Schmetzer asked me if I was interested in writing all of the upcoming TRO:3145 House Kurita entries. Despite my self-imposed hiatus. I took a couple days to think about it. In the end, I agreed for a couple reasons: 1. This TRO project is being written along the parameters …
The Dragon’s Potpourri
The final chapter of Handbook House Kurita is still somewhat stuck, largely due to me losing an evening’s worth of writing earlier this week. Typically I hit CTRL-S every few minutes to save my work as I write but for some reason, I didn’t the other night. When I went to close down, I got …
Life Amongst the Dragon’s Stars
[“Black Marble” by NASA Goddard Photo and Video] And we’re back with a look at the ongoing work in Handbook: House Kurita. One of the more popular bits of the Handbook series is the Touring the Realm section, which provides a wide look at various worlds in the interstellar nation. Each author picks the worlds …

The …
Ever Forward the Dragon Creeps
And we’re back with the next installment of HBHK, letting you peek behind the Dragon’s curtain at the mysteries within. Or something like that. Anyway, progress continues forward. I’ve pulled some material for preview; the selections this week are scattered across multiple sections.
On the Obligations of the Ideal Citizen
The highest ideals to which the subjects of Lord Kurita can aspire are Purity and Harmony. By Purity is meant freedom from all that might come between the citizen and their duty to their Lord and government. [Commentary: Purity does not mean avoidance of bodily functions such as sex. Rather, it refers to using those …
Devotion to the Success of the Combine Through Proper Work
“Devotion to the Success of the Combine Through Proper Work” (Dictum Honorium VII, 215-216) Devotion to duty, perfected through greater self-discipline, leads to an improved state of personal freedom and sense of joy focused on fulfillment in one’s work. [Commentary: Business is war on the field of numbers. Financial ruin from poor decisions and improper …
