This has not been a productive month.

Sorry about that! …Well, I guess it has been productive, in its way. I’m just not doing well with deadline stuff. I need to reorganize.

The SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 Honest Trailer.

Honest Trailers noted this both in the video and in their blurb: the Sonic franchise is remarkably good, all things considered. I went to see SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 with my kids – and while I wasn’t wowed, particularly, I am neither a teenager nor a player of the Sonic games. Even then, I wasn’t clawing my eyes out, or anything. Jim Carrey was funny. There were some good shots. It did its duty.

Which isn’t nothing. Nobody really expected the franchise to get this far. Well done!

The Secret World-North America TTRPG Savage Worlds and 5E Kickstarter is live.

I’ll likely be doing the Savage Worlds version. It’s half-tempting to put Morganey in this one, too, but three hundred bucks is a bit much to do it twice.

‘The Golem Job’ is up on Patreon.

To quote from there because I’m feeling lazy:

This is one of the things getting added to the Fermi Resolution Worldbook – it’s also available as part of TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol. 2 – and I’m putting up this version here for free as an enticement. The Backerkit starts in a week! Sign up now (Sign-up link)!

Again, free.

‘Eve of Destruction.’

Some day, maybe they’ll be able to sustain a good version of The Stand.

Today was a Real Life Day, alas.

Oil changes and errands and vetting homework and cooking and all the rest of it. I plan to buckle down for the rest of the month, though. Since I don’t really have a choice anyway.

So you *can* get value out of advertising. Good to know.

Prepare the viands, prepare the foods, prepare the strange wines, for tonight
is indeed a great night!

Guess when I started the Facebook ad campaign for the Fermi Resolution Worldbook Backerkit!

…This isn’t sarcasm, or a twist. The Facebook ads worked. Let me repeat that: the Facebook ads worked. And all I had to do was reflexively follow Backerkit’s instructions, to the letter, and with as little originality as I could muster.

Note that the right lines mark how many followers I’ve gotten for this project in total, not how many I’m getting per day. If I had pulled four hundred followers out of this advertising junket I’d be making entirely different plans for next week. I’m happy with the numbers I’ve gotten, trust me.

Now I just have to figure out what it all means.

‘Once in a Lifetime.’

…My God, what have I done?

I’m sorry.

America desperately wants a Bills/Commanders Super Bowl.

That's why America will get Chiefs/Eagles and like it. pic.twitter.com/E6Eux1dCwY
