My Kindle makes it easy to read with the lights off. As a result, I've discovered that one barometer for how much I'm enjoying a book is how eager I am to hop in bed and knock out a chapter or two.

Alas, my current book is not that. But it's popular in my circle and so I'll be glad to have read it.

The Magic School Bus is Dark Academia.

Mrs. Frizzle's last field trip is exploring the skeletons in her closet, and how she came to harness the power of a cryptid.

A film you've seen more than 6 times... No Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, or Marvel.

I've loved everything for Trophy by Ember and Ash so far; can't wait to dig into this.
I've mentioned, a couple of times, that I was writing a Trophy Dark incursion called Light. Well, now it's out there, ready for you to wander through a terrible magical desert while trying to save a sorcerer who can make your dreams come true.

These are some of my favorite writers in TTRPG space.
If you're a fan of Trophy Dark/Trophy Gold, just a quick heads up that a bunch of Trophy writers are compiling new incursions for a Kickstarter for next year.

I'll no doubt talk about it more as the date approaches, but if you wanna set a reminder for yourself:

Lowkey, the speed at which some people hear of a new fantasy setting and immediately go "Where guns?" fascinates me.

I am not terribly opposed to guns in fantasy, but like, maybe pump the brakes, Rambo. Aragorn did just fine without an AR-15.

If you order a latte at Starbucks, customize it a bunch of ways, and let people taste it, you still didn't make the latte. You ordered it.

People who use GenAI will never be artists any more than people ordering lattes will never be baristas.
Like, the very first rule of doing anything at all creative is *you have to give a fuck about it*

Using genAI is proof you don't.

Just got back from PAXU and feeling energized, inspired, and ready to create something? I have some opportunities that might interest you! I'm hitting the ground running on a new project, The Lands Remaining, and there are ways to get involved. Details in the thread!

I am enjoying PAX, but not the rate at which ideas are flowing and I wish I could be at my computer putting them on page.

PAXU: a friend was talking about a "dice trading" event, but I heard "dice training".

So now I am just imagining a bunch of people rolling dice to the tune of "Eye of the Tiger" hoping to improve their probability.

Me, starting The Secret History:
How could those kids kill their friend? What monsters!

Me, a little under halfway through The Secret History, which is told in flashback:
Jesus, how haven't they killed him yet.

Tbh, it hasn't quite set in yet that I'm going to PAXU, probably because I still have a few shifts left at work between now and then.

But I hope to see some of you there!
