Gas Giant Gambit: The Lecontes
I’ve been avoiding writing this topic for a while, but with only three weeks left until Gas Giant Gambit hits shelves, it’s finally time to talk about the antagonists in Gus’s story: Laszlo Leconte and his children. But you’ll forgive me if I don’t get too deep into the motivations…

Gas Giant Gambit Pre-Order
I’m a little early this week, and this entry is going to be short, but it’s because I have some big news! As I hastily write this blog to post as quickly as I can, it is Sunday, August 17th. Gas Giant Gambit comes out in one month, on September…

Gas Giant Gambit: The Arm
About eighteen months ago, I shared a post about the main setting of Gas Giant Gambit: Las Ráfagas, the fuel mining outpost where all the action takes place. Now I want to pull back a bit, and introduce you to the larger world, in which Las Ráfagas is just an…

Gas Giant Gambit: Moe
Way back in November of 2023, I wrote a little bit about the protagonist of Gas Giant Gambit, Gus. Now, with the release date coming in hot (September 16, 2025!), I feel it’s time to get back to that topic, and introduce you to a few more characters, starting with…
