As much as I of course want to nominate myself for such an award, with so few categories and as a “book blog”, I’m going to recuse my own work from this vote, which I may not do for other awards later so do stay tuned, friends and readers! Without further ado, here’s my Planetary Award […]

Gaming and the Future According to FFG
Team Covenant this week put up a pretty interesting video from a gaming business perspective. It’s a bit dry if you’re not interested in the topics, but they interviewed Fantasy Flight’s CEO Christian T. Petersen about the Asmodee merger last year, what it means, and Fantasy Flight’s direction going forward. I love Team Covenant’s videos, […]
Washington Redskins GoFundMe Update: What The Heck Do I Do With The Money
Again I want to thank everyone for the laughs, the clicks, the support. This has been a lot of fun, and as there is a time for everything under heaven, there is a time to end this campaign. I’ve been debating what to do with the funds raised for the last couple of days, as […]
What YOU Like Is Literally Hitler
The above photo is of me, while I was pretty deathly ill with bronchitis. A friend, who I won’t attribute for his own safety, added the iconic ugly mustache that was popular in the 1930s to the picture, to let me know that I, in all that I do, am literally Hitler. I thank him […]
Trading in Danger Ch5
Something was going to have to give somewhere. Here we get into the meat of the story. I’ve been talking about transitioning from exposition to complication for the last couple chapters, and here we have it! The first thing Ky does here, is confront her crew about her plotting to not follow the letter of […]

GoFundMe Update – The Washington Redskins
The outrcry of support from the public has truly been something special, as people understand my deep medical need for an Amazon Echo and a Trevor Plouffe jersey. Here’s the metrics of the campaign so far:
Trading in Danger – Ch4
“A matter of trade and profit.” This marks the 4th chapter of exposition. We were introduced to Ky’s military life in Ch1 . Introduced to family life in ch2. Introduced to shipbound life in ch3, and then in an interesting turn of events, Ky goes through customs at the planet Beltina. Ky spends some time […]
Trading In Danger Ch3
Ten days later, when Glennys wallowed uneasily into endim translation, Ky watched the strain gauges and wondered how the ship had passed its last inspection. Chapter 3 starts a lot slower than the first two did. The first two we had heavy emotional moments and disorientation for the character. I hoped that we’d immediately take […]

Trading In Danger Ch2
“Disgrace doesn’t last forever.” In this chapter we meet a friendly face, Ky’s former flight instructor Gaspard. He lets her co-pilot despite her uncle’s wishes, establishing Ky as a competent pilot as well as someone who is pretty patient and follows orders well. We’re into regret in Ky’s head at this point, further drawing us […]
