Coming around, very reluctantly, to the notion that being forced to do yardwork as a kid actually does build character.

Sixty years on, a Star Trek writer is still creating strange new worlds. Diane Duane’s early days writing fan fiction have led to a remarkable career as a novelist, comic writer and screen writer.

After a year, I've finally finished working through Thomas Burnett Swann's 16 fantasy novels. Here's my essay on his last novel, CRY SILVER BELLS, a fitting end to his career published more than a year after his death from cancer in 1976. What a ride it has been discovering this brilliant writer!

This is up there with Kaiju themed birthday parties. Amazing!

FFS LET TRANS PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES IN PEACE

These people are amping up the cruelty to trans people and immigrants because everyone realizes things suck so they have to throw slop to the piggies. It is incumbent upon the rest of us to recognize the weakness that signals and turn it into courage to stand in the gap.

I released my 3rd Kala Mandala adventure — Tragedy at Zaya’s Theatre — last week. It’s heavily inspired by two things: Southeast Asian/Indian performing arts, and how so many things (e.g. objects, plants) have sentience in SEA. What if non-material things like theatre plays can become sentient?

My tendency for bedtime procrastination is keeping me up at night.

First day of the playtest went pretty good, we hammered out some annoying bugs and we're more than halfway to my player test goal. You can sign up and play any time if you're interested. My goal is a game that fits your schedule, not a game you have to schedule around.

I was curious to see Wuthering Heights but I don't think I will now, because nothing can compare to the experience of having random shots from it pass across my feed. It feels like the best way to enjoy the movie.
