So, is THE BOURNE LEGACY actually good?

I sort of ignored the entire franchise. But Youtube keeps feeding me clips from THE BOURNE LEGACY, and it doesn’t look half bad. Do I need to see the other movies in order to understand this one?

The fairly awkward THE SANDMAN: SEASON 2 trailer.

Awkward because Neil Gaiman and a fair number of accusers are in the early stages of a long, drawn-out, and inevitably merciless legal knife fight over sexual harassment abuse allegations. Netflix cannot be overly happy that every single article about THE SANDMAN: SEASON 2 is going to be bringing that up, I’m sure. …Including this one, I guess.

The heck of it is, Season One was on point. …And possibly very unfortunately so, in the case of the bonus episode.

The FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS trailer.

Yeah, I know. Here we go again? Probably. But maybe FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS will finally figure out how to do this team properly. They just have to try enough different times, I guess…

PS: I know, I know: they’re saying dumb things in the public relations space again. Hope, as they say, springs eternal.

The digital version of The Fermi Resolution Worldbook is finished! FILL OUT YOUR SURVEYS!

I will be starting the lock order countdown on Sunday. If you have not filled out your survey by then and have gotten one of the tiers that comes with Special Thanks in the book, I am going to make my best guess as to what you would like to be called. I will be neither whimsical nor malicious, but that does not guarantee that I will be accurate.

Digital rewards will get distributed once orders are locked; print proofs get finalized once I’m certain there’ll be no more changes to be made. The adventure will come later, hopefully by the end of summer. The print version will likely be considerably earlier than that.

Thanks again to everybody who backed – and there’s still a chance to get in on the pre-order store!

The new episode of THE BOLD MARAUDER is up!

A little shorter than normal, but it was a natural stopping point. Check out my space opera serial THE BOLD MARAUDER here! And the rest of my Patreon, too!

In the mail: the @hplhs’s Liber Oblitus.

Just the softcover, not the hardcover facsimile. I couldn’t quite justify the expense.

FINALLY. cc @hplhs pic.twitter.com/wtBvnyChCG

You can get your own Liber Oblitus monograph here. As is typical for the HPLHS, it’s lovely.

The Final THUNDERBOLTS* trailer.

I will be giving it that shot. Most of you will not, and I respect that. But the heck of it is: THUNDERBOLTS* knows. It is self-aware enough to know that it has been scraped and smooshed together from everything Marvel had left in the creative fridge, just to make one last flick. Will it work? Probably not. Is the flick going down swinging anyway?

In two weeks, one last shot at redemption See Marvel Studios’ #Thunderbolts* only in theaters May 2. Get tickets now: https://t.co/bFq0RNfp6K pic.twitter.com/AC0eQzRZa1

…Danged if it doesn’t look ready to do just that. So… all right, then. Light that candle.

04/16/2025 Snippet, CALL OF THE MOON-BEASTS.

Back to this!

…

Abbie had hit the roof when he called in the whole thing, although she saved most of her commentary for when she showed up. Along with multiple sets of lunar climbing gear, just in case anyone was wondering what role she expected for herself in all of this. “Don’t argue, sir,” she told him, just as soon as he opened his mouth. “I am the chief engineer, and this is a hole in my base. On the moon. I need to see how bad the leaks are.”

“Aren’t all leaks bad?” Lillian asked. From her tone, she sounded worried about the answer.

Abbie grinned, with only a faint touch of death’s-head about it. “Yes! But the pinwheels aren’t spinning” — she pointed at the hastily-placed items, set up right by the hole — “so the leaks aren’t very bad. You’re always going to get holes in the walls up here, Lillian. Trick’s to stay ahead of them.”

We have reached the final proofreading stage of the Fermi Resolution Worldbook!

I’ve already done a typo check on the Fermi Resolution Worldbook, and need to come up with the best path for going through the text to fix them. It’s easier to do it in the PDFs themselves, but smarter long-term to go through Affinity and fix ’em that way. Either way, we are very close to getting something that can go to the printers! Huz-zah.

Back, at least for a couple of days.

We got more stuff coming up this weekend. But tomorrow and Thursday should be normal. Well. Relatively.
