Apparently you can do one-week ones, and Cold Warning is one of those. It’s a blast from the past that had been on ice for decades. But they thawed it out, which is pretty cool and I think that it’s interesting to see how stuff that’s been frozen in time for that long can still be well-preserved. Plus, if they get enough ice by tomorrow then a stretch goal will open up, which would be chill.
…I’ll stop now.
Santo
The masked folk hero Santo (b. 1917; real name Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta, but nobody knows this) had just begun what would have been a long and illustrious career as a luchador when the Serpentfall hit. Santo rapidly fell afoul of the Almazan regime, once it overthrew the Mexican government: he has spent the last few years throwing the Sinarquistas out of southern Mexico, one fascist at a time. He is loved by the common folk. He is feared by every corrupt official from Tijuana to Tapachula. The Sinarquistas are torn between hating him for his defiance, and desiring to convert him to their cause.
He is Santo.
Ready for it? Here you go: Stop it.
Continue reading I would like to make a request about drama in science fiction TV shows.
In case you were wondering what I was doing today. End of month is always fun, isn’t it? Particularly when you’re facing those subtly oh-that’s-easy deadlines that suddenly sprout teeth and start staring at your trachea. Whee!
Still, this is how the industry advances. We all must do our part, yes? Yes.

PS: Thanks again to everybody who played.

The Book of Henry is either going to be the happy-quirkiest movie of the summer, or the suddenly-screamingly darkest one. I can’t tell from the trailer. You can make a case either way.
It’s probably going to be happy-quirky. The posters are presented that way, the trailer is cut that way. And yet…
Masks of Nyarlathotep is one of the classic Call of Cthulhu scenarios, of course. It’s one of the buying for looking-at, rather than buying-for-playing: you know how it is. But it was bought with birthday money, so I don’t have to penny-pinch justify the purchase to myself.
…I wanted to finish that out by typing ‘neener neener:’ only, who am I neenering? Most of the people reading this aren’t really emotionally invested in what I should spend my Amazon birthday money on. Although modest suggestions welcome: I have a decent balance, and I’ve already pre-ordered all the SM Stirlings and Charlie Strosses and Harry Turtledoves that are coming out this year.
This is, pardon the pun, going to be a monster at the box office.
Finally. Basically, it’s a format for making your own 7th Sea material and, hey, selling it (you get 50% of any profits, John Wick gets 25%, DriveThruRPG gets 25%). This is acceptable, given that John Wick’s also made a bunch of free stock stuff available for people who want to do this, including maps, pictures, coats of arms, that sort of thing. I gotta sit down with my gaming group (we’re in the middle of a 7th Sea campaign) next session and really TALK about this. This may change how we run games for a while.
It looks pretty promising. I’ll want to get a feel for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets from the reviews and everything, but it certainly appears spectacular. As I’ve noted before I’ve never read the comics, but I can see the appeal:
It comes out July 21st.
