Missing the Archer -- I lost the bow before attaching. Probably it fell into the carpet and was sucked up by the vacuum.

Empress of Forever -- Max Gladstone -- 2019

Image
  Our Heroine, a software baron (who actually knows how to code -- talk about science fiction!), flees dark forces in a near-future Earth only to be yanked into a strange universe populated with highly evolved, cyberneticly enhanced human-like races. The action gallops along briskly in a strange and original setting. It's pure Space Opera with an evil Empress, a marauding galaxy-consuming alien entity, and rivals who hurl titanic energies against each other. One action sequence follows another as our Heroine and her allies are battered, bruised, and tortured, miraculously recover, then move on to another girl, another weird planet. But before concluding in the somewhat underwhelming final conflict, our Heroine learns to overcome her selfish, controlling tendencies and place her trust in the ability and loyalty of the odd collection of friends she's gathered during her journey. It's an enjoyable and well-written tale, but it runs a little long. Shaving off 20% probably would...

The Shattering (Notes to Self)

Image
  “The Shattering” is the new campaign world I've begun to design for an eventual return to in-person gaming. Here are my base points:   -- I’ll run some flavor of D&D, most likely Moldvay B/E. Initial design will be version (and system, I guess) independent.   -- PC level independent, at least in initial design. Populating the encounters will need to wait until it's decided if the players want to start with fresh PCs, or continue with developed (and at this stage, probably ridiculously equipped) PCs. The PCs in my group are always happy to dungeon delve, so those subterranean complexes can be designed now, and stocked later.   -- The actual "world" will be designed as a network of interconnected locales. Completing the scenario in the current location will provide clues/quests for choosing the next course of action. As the PCs explore the setting while gathering information along the way, they can choose whichever opportunity looks most attractive to...

What I've Been Reading

The Godel Operation -- James Cambias -- 2021 An engaging, exciting and humorous space opera. Thousands of years after an AI/Human war almost wipes out humankind, a Droid who is more that he appears (but you'll figure it out) makes friends with a young man, and is sucked into a web of intrigue and adventure, beset by foes both red-blooded and robotic. Soon joined by two young women with competing motives, they criss-cross the solar system in search of a McGuffin rumored to be a doomsday weapon. Told from the Droid's viewpoint, which finds plenty of (well-founded!) humor in the strange, often irrational, behavior of his human companions. A superb SF novel -- highly recommended. To maximize enjoyment, do what I did -- read the Mass-Market paperback , which features an appropriately garish cover. Galaxy's Edge -- No. 57 -- July 2022 POD magazine, published out of Rockville MD. A mix of reprints by noted authors (even the columns!) and amateur efforts of little note. I didn...
