Books, music, and project notes

Slop Dealer

I am keeping the releases in one place here: cozy crash-site sci-fantasy, base-building LitRPG, Sydney getting a ruleset, frontier nonfiction, and a small music shelf.

If you are new

Here are the shelves.

This is how I would explain the current catalogue to someone landing here cold. The covers can carry their own titles, so the notes here just tell you what each shelf is doing.

The Landing

A crashed ship becomes a warm room.

Cozy sci-fantasy about Callum Wren, a damaged survey ship, and a valley learning what strange tools can do. Arrival is the crash and first contact. Roots is the winter waystation, med-bay, workshop, and road markers starting to take shape.

Start with Arrival
Cinderwake

Repair the war-forge before it gets claimed.

Military base-building LitRPG. Phoenix Blacksite starts with Cinderwake being salvaged room by room. The Black Cradle pushes the station into hostile law, live infrastructure, and a crew trying to decide what the base is before someone else names it for them.

Start with Phoenix Blacksite
The Gradient of Progress

The Moon above, the deep Earth below.

Two frontier nonfiction books. The High Ground looks at lunar and cislunar industry through cost gradients and infrastructure. The Deep Harvest turns back toward Earth: superhot rock, ocean minerals, lithium, natural hydrogen, biomining, and the bottlenecks that decide what can scale.

Open the pair
Wavefall

Sydney gets a ruleset at the worst possible time.

LitRPG progression fantasy starting around a Homebush HEMA tournament. Cal Mercer, a Spellblade path, node-linked Sydney, and the problem of turning footwork and protected ground into a way through the first wave.

Start with Wavefall
Music

Slop Dealer Vibes is the music shelf.

Dragonslayer and Dealers Choice Vol. 1 are music releases with videos attached. They sit beside the books because the project looks stranger, and more itself, when the sound is not buried on another platform.

Recent shelf

The newest doors are already weird enough.

If you just want the current shape of the project, these three give a decent cross-section: Sydney breaking, the Landing settling in, and Cinderwake trying not to be claimed by someone else's paperwork.

The Landing: Roots

The crashed ship is no longer just shelter. It is becoming a winter room, a med-bay, a workshop, and a place the valley can test.

The Black Cradle

A live war-forge station is useful until the wrong people decide what kind of thing it is allowed to be.

Project lanes

This is the shape so far.

I am not trying to make all of it pretend to be the same thing. The fiction, nonfiction, and music are separate shelves, but they keep circling the same questions: what gets built, who pays for it, and what breaks when the system wakes up.

The Landing

Crashed ship, warm rooms

Practical first contact, shelter-building, hybrid tools, and a damaged survey ship becoming useful to a valley that was not in the mission plan.

Start the series
Cinderwake

Room-by-room war-forge salvage

Air, heat, crew, damaged rooms, bad law, and the cost of keeping a military station alive after it should have stayed dead.

Enter the blacksite
Scale Wars

The frontier has a cost stack

The Moon, cislunar industry, superhot rock, ocean minerals, lithium, hydrogen, and the infrastructure needed before any of it becomes real power.

Wavefall

Homebush gets a system

A Sydney LitRPG about footwork, build choices, node-linked streets, and trying to keep people alive while the city changes the rules.

Music

Slop Dealer Vibes

Dragonslayer and Dealers Choice Vol. 1 are music releases, not another book series wearing a false moustache.

Music

The music belongs beside the books.

I do not want these sitting off in a footer like an afterthought. They are music releases first, and they still belong in the hub.

Dragonslayer

Fantasy metal, cliff-face drama, and the sort of title that already tells you the room it walked in from.

Dealers Choice Vol. 1

A producer desk, a pile of gear, and the counter-side half of the music shelf.

Updates

Notes, reading order, and whatever gets posted next.

This is where I can put release notes, reading-order posts, cover notes, samples, or the small bits that do not fit cleanly on a product page.
