@elonmusk has an opportunity to do the funniest thing.

On the one hand: the observation below will absolutely not have any effect. On the other hand: you honestly never know with this guy. And on the gripping hand, if it does unaccountably somehow happen I’m going to be yelled at by various people – including ones I like – every day, for the rest of my natural life.

Alas. Sometimes great art requires as great a sacrifice.

Having a conversation on getting the TTRPG finished up.

This would be the Fermi Resolution RPG. Getting it done will almost certainly involve crowdfunding; once I have more of a firm timeline on how long the project will take, I’ll likely set something up exclusively on Backerkit. They’re getting into the crowdfunding business itself, and their customer service game is already very strong. If I can tap into that, and their existing audience, it will be very useful for future projects.

If not? Well, I tried. Sometimes things don’t work out.

The upcoming “The Secret World- North America” Kickstarter.

It looks like they’re actually giving the game line some support: The Secret World- North America looks like it’ll be both 5e and Savage Worlds, too. I will almost certainly be grabbing it for the latter. I’m sorry, but 5e is a clumsy fit for a lot of game worlds: which is to say, ones that were not designed with D&D 5e in mind.

But never mind me.

Back from Doxacon!

It went well! Good sales, a couple of hopefully profitable discussions, and both of the panels I went to (“Popery in Prose: The Incarnational Aesthetic of Nineteenth Century Gothic [Dracula by Bram Stoker]” and “Revealing the Numinous in TTRPGs”) were quite interesting and informational. If you can make Doxacon in 2025 and you’re interested in the intersection of faith and fandom, I really do recommend it. Especially if they stay at the Catholic University of America. It was so much easier to set up and break down, this year.
