Sunset is having a great day. And because she’s is a very loving cat, she’s happy to share the relaxation vibe with those in need.

100% right on, @MGibster William Goldman said it of movies, with orders of magnitude more audience and money: “Nobody knows anything”, when it comes to what will succeed, or why anything has succeeded. It’s true to varying degrees of every field where there are new products, probably. But in...

I do this with a bunch of systems i curious about but not curious enough to spend money on. Free looks are fun. People are doing a lot of neat things that happen not to be for me personally right now.

Whoops, yes. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/456053/elegy

That’s true. But the world is not poorer off for having fewer people - of any sort - starving in it. That seems brutally callous more than, I dunno, snarky or something.

The humor value of this is diminished when you know people who’ve had chronic health problems exacerbated by malnutrition, while they had the misfortune to make a few hundred dollars too many per year to qualify for Medicaid. The starving artist aesthetic has always been boosted by people who...

I’m a slavering fan of the Dryco series. Ambient is impressive by itself, but the series as a whole goes utterly amazing places, and keeps doing dazzling things with language. Random Acts Of Senseless Violence is heartbreaking, in particular. And the bit with the refrigerator door in Ambient...

Basilides by M. David Litwa. This is going to be the most schizoid set of comments I’ve reading about an audiobook. The Reading: “This title uses virtual voice narration. Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks. I’m impressed at how this works for general text, with a...

I’d lean on the Star Viking motif, looting heavily from actual Viking culture - perfumed beards, easy divorce, and all.

I agree with a lot of this. (The first 20 minutes of Jackson’s movie made Mom cry. She remembered those years from when she was a girl.) I broadly agree about the right way to make most kaiju movies, and the kind of movie that warrants exception. But the meme made me laugh. Because come on...

Two great books finished on the weekend. Howling Dark by Christopher Ruocchio, book 2 of the Sun Eater series. Wow. Imagine if Dune had no mention of prescience, or Warhammer 40K of Chaos, or Lord of the Rings of elves, and them a new volume brought the missing element front and center. That’s...

Or a wombat or a naked mole rat. Or a shark, and not a land shark.

Species and favored nuts are the axes for splats. Disciplines determine where on the spectrum from serious to cartoony your character is. Merits cover things like tail bushiness and cheek pouch capacity.

That’s close to the opposite of what I said. Also, this is really abusive language. Good luck finding other folks unusually keen on having you insult them, their friends, and their colleagues.

It’s very much that. The kind of supplement lines I gladly contributed to for nostalgia of decade weren’t long-term viable and are even less so now. To be viable, they need to have termination in mind, because ongoing lines shed sales. That can come with an internal plot line that comes to a...
