I continue to use the library, and many folks on Booktube set up a variety of exceptions: series in progress, books by people you know, and the like. If I had a Worldcon membership this year, I’d make one for the Hugo nominees.

For no particular reason, I decided to start one of Booktube’s 100-book challenges this month. This is about what the name suggests: read a hundred books you own before buying new ones. I picked up a few things on Audible’s sale this month and then started the clock. Dead Silence, by S.A...

Well, thanks nothing to be ashamed of, we all have quirks and fetishes. :) Seriously, though, fundamentally I agree. I recognize many points and zones of contact, but for me RPGs are innately a unique impure hybrid of inspirations that became (is continuing to become) its own thing as much as...

Lately, I’m inclined to say, linked short stories offer a handy format. For those unfamiliar, Nathan Ballingrud’s book Wounds is a particularly fine example, with six stories that turn out to share important things along the way.

I’ll read it, if you do.

The next Dryco book, Terraplane, has the post-Soviet Union with a lot of Big Boy merchandizing. That is, Stalin as a ubiquitous mascot. Also, how about the stuff in Dryden’s safe? Womack really, really knows his esoterica.

I’m another who likes it when it matters in play, but otherwise generally doesn’t care. This is in part a getting-older thing: I’ve now read many cosmologies and contributed to making some, and I have been there and done that. It’s possible to surprise and delight me still, either with a fresh...

The message that people who are willing to cooperate at the hard work of understanding a situation and working out how to respond to it can do better than violence is always timely.

Choose better conversations? :)

i plan to do the same too, and will work out how much I skip as I go along.

Thanks. :)

I’d reject the dichotomy, having learned a little bit about the conservation and restoration of art and architecture. Pool and also having lived in Portland, OR, and seen the evolution of the work to protect and then restore the main library to modern safety standards. There’s basically never...

It does suggest a possibly entertaining campaign where the PCs get vast XP for all the dangerous places they don’t go… …and the light dawns. This is a Flashman/Caiaphis Cain campaign.

This looks really breeding. Might work well dropped into Ultraviolet Grasslands, as well as modern settings.

Here you go. I owe it some updates. https://www.enworld.org/threads/high-quality-systemless-books.713310/

how has that gone for you?

Whoa. I’m a big fan of Jesse’s work. Gotta check that out.

That still leaves a lot of great work, of course.

For those who dig such things: Audible is having one of its periodic sales on Warhammer audiobooks. Pretty much the whole Black Library catalog is $4-7 this month, at least for members.

Thanks. :) Her brother Moonrise is a tuxedo boy with a big white blaze on his belly.
