For a handful of people, this screenshot is very exciting. Ken has finished[*] the rebuild of the XML export process for Squadron Strike ships. XML is now generated on the individual Ship and Fort tabs, and pulled into the export tab, which consolidates the two XML export tabs into one.

As a reminder: There's only 17 hours left as this is posted to take advantage of the Summer Campaign Sale at Wargame Vault!

It’s a shame that bad ass poster for the Mexico England game was AI. Anyway, this one I made quickly on the bike at the gym isn’t

In filling a blank page in the scenario section of the Squadron Strike rulebook, Ken did a breakdown of why the finale of On Basilisk Station works as fiction, and how Weber plays fair with the reader. And why it is an utterly dismal experience at the gaming table.

So, Wargame Vault is holding their Summer Campaign sale with 30% off on everything, and maybe you're wondering "What of the Ad Astra Games product lines should I buy?" While we'd like to say "All of it..." some people are more cautious with their spending. Here's a breakdown of what we make!

Today is planetary mapmaking day. I'm using the approach from my World Maps class (previously Continents) to build one that makes scientific sense for an @adastragames.com project in their Ten Worlds setting for Attack Vector. Let's go over the drafts of some of the first layers!

For those who know the Squadron Strike rulebook, this page shows a...transition. This is the beginning of the last formal rule in the book—transitioning between map scales with momentum-based movement. This part is new: Fuel (or magsail) use and transitioning to the ΔV map. Almost done...

While we were set to resume the SFU ships game, two players couldn't make it, so we ran a Habakiri versus Marauders game instead, playtesting Screens over Armor 1 as a defense, and letting someone newer to the game fly the simpler-to-fly Habakiri.

A Congo fan honors iconic superfan "Lumumba Vea", famous for standing completely motionless throughout matches in honor of independence leader Patrice Lumumba, after he was denied a U.S. visa to attend the team's match in Atlanta.

I'm in this picture and don't like it...

The most chilling thing about this is how blatant and unashamed it is. Like, the owner didn't pause for a moment to wonder if this was suitable to go up on a house listing. That's how normalised Nazi's feel their creed has become.

Imagine if our society economically rewarded creativity rather than sociopathic striving and licking the asshoiles of investors. Remember, every test of Universal Basic Income came to the conclusion that *people still worked* when economically secure, and many recipients started craft-businesses!

Pokemon Go was a reskin of Ingress, and back in *2014* there were questions about "what the fuck is Niantic doing with all the photography tagged with coordinates taken for Ingress?" Most people are insufficiently paranoid about data scraping and data brokers. Regulations. Now.

We'll be using signage like this at future events.

At some point, I'm getting 2-4 more pieces of art, and the "make ships" part of Reprisal of the Hegemon (the second Romance of the Seven Realms product, after Flight of the Fisher Queen) will be done. I've been proactive, and been placing art on countersheet templates as it comes in.

The way British people hate and despise tube drivers for the crime of having a decent wage (£60k) and daring to go on strike is genuinely so sad. Why do you think they have a decent wage? Might have something to do with having a solid union prepared to strike. No that's crazy that's crazy talk

The duality of mustelids. The power to create or destroy a particle collider.

Friday's playtest scenario is set up! Some details are in the alt-text. If you've gone through a Squadron Strike teaching game with the Romance of the Seven Realms, or just happen to like Star Wars-y space fighter derring-do, this should be fun for you. Start time is 8:30 PM EDT, 12 JUN 2026!

Do not let Trump get his tiny little hands on our voter rolls. I’m calling it: all his voter fraud bullshit is really about gaining access to California’s voter data.

One of the formative experiences that made me who I am now was in late October 2001. I took a flight from LA to Canada for a deposition. There was a Sikh gentleman sitting next to me. People were visibly staring and recoiling and watching him. Fuck bigots and morons.
