I’m not backing the MHI Miniatures Game Kickstarter solely because I don’t play with the miniatures I already have. And I don’t have space for a skirmish game that I’m not going to play, because I don’t play board games. But that’s just practicality talking. This looks way cool.

In the Mail: the Monster Hunter International RPG.
Been waiting on this one for a while now. Savage Worlds apparently came out with a new edition at the worst possible moment, or something. Regardless, I now have the new Monster Hunter International RPG*. Hrm. I already know what games I’m running next WashingCon, but there’s always the one after that…

*There’s an old one, but I’m not spending that kind of money on it. Although if I had a copy I might be persuaded to sell it for that kind of money.
Last hours of the Monster Hunter International RPG Kickstarter
And if they hit $125K, everybody in the Monster Hunter International RPG Kickstarter who is getting physical book (ahem) also gets a patch. It’s a very nice patch. I’d rather like one.
The Monster Hunter International RPG: Savage Worlds Edition Kickstarter.
Crud, I’m starting to run out of MHI books.
I’m halfway through Monster Hunter Memoirs: Sinners, and after this it’s eARC time. I probably should have waited another month to get back into this series, because I suspect that I’m not going to be inclined to wait until August for Monster Hunter Siege. Ach, well, this is how we learn.
The “Monster Hunter International: Challenge Coins” Kickstarter.
I finally broke down.
I suspect that I may end up with a small collection of SF-related challenge coins. They’re kind of insidious.
Book of the Week: “How to Lie With Statistics.”
A colleague recommended How to Lie with Statistics to me, and despite the fact that it’s from the 1950s (with numbers/examples to match) it’s one of the more entertaining books I’ve read recently. It’s a basic book – very basic; it assumes that you don’t know the difference between mean, median, and mode – and it’s telling that the negative reviews mostly involve either that detail, or the fact that the examples are dated. I didn’t find said dating to be particularly difficult to get my head around, so I can suggest this book for anybody who needs to have an introduction to the subject. From what I can tell, you could generate a rather long list from the Internet without even trying hard.
Well, maybe that wasn’t the nicest way to put it.
And so, adieu to Monster Hunter International

So was Cthulhu 101, of course, but all things must end.
