Yes, they write out the five exclamation points. That’s how you know it’s Vaputech!

In Nomine Revisited: Zombies.
In Nomine changed the name to distinguish their version from the regular kind, and I guess I changed it right back. This one needed a bit of a rewrite, actually. Some of them do, some of them don’t.
Zombies-Google-DocsDownloadLight posting day today, I know.
My SCA barony’s newsletter goes out on the fifth of the month, and this month’s was extra persnickety. I don’t know why, either. There was nothing about it that was particularly difficult to do, but it draaaaagggged. I was also up late last night, and that’s increasingly an issue for me. Dagnabbit.
Meh. I’m gonna go find some old gaming stuff, convert it to PDF, and publish it. That’s always worth doing, methinks.
Just updated my pledge to the St. Ann’s Center for Children, Youth and Families.
St. Ann’s is a local charity that works with, well, children, youth, and families. I thought it’d be a good time to increase my pledge to their teen mothers’ program, both on general principles and in light of recent events. I encourage others to do the same with their own local programs.

Book vending schedule, 2022.
This is so far:
Balticon (May 28-30). The convention starts Friday, but I’ll be there Saturday. Probably will commute, because the hotel’s expensive and it’s an easy drive for me.Galactic Con (tentative) (June 11). This one is a day-trip, and I haven’t gotten it confirmed yet. Hoping to have TINSEL RAIN published at that point, but I probably won’t have the print books.Fright Reads (October 1). Will have TINSEL RAIN in print by then! Hopefully. Maybe other stuff.As you can see, I have room in the schedule for July-September. I’ll be keeping an eye out for other prospective vending venues.
The new OBI-WAN KENOBI trailer.
Guess Obi-Wan Kenobi is not staying on Tatooine for the entire series. Which makes sense, since if there’s a bright center to the universe, that’s the planet that it’s farthest from. Best to go somewhere else, hey?
Also, it has good-looking, black-armored, hawk-faced women with lightsabers. I’m not going to pretend: this is a part of my aesthetic. I’m down to watch that.
Caught up on TINSEL RAIN edits!
Huzzah! Now I can sit and glare at my computer screen in peace. Twitter’s decided this site is suspicious again, you see. So now I get to spend two weeks reporting every spurious report to their automated system, until a human finally notices the reports building up and checks. At least, that’s what I assume happens. Twitter never actually bothers to tell people why they do things, how to fix problems, or why they reverse their decisions.
And they wonder why they’re being bought out. …Serenity now, Moe. Serenity now.
Still, at least I got those chapter edits chewed through. About half done!
Finished up MOON KNIGHT.
Good show. Good show. The final episode had to tie up a bunch of stuff together, and – pious protestations by the MOON KNIGHT folks aside – they absolutely laid the bricks for a second season. I didn’t read the comics, but the people who did all seem pretty jazzed at how much stuff from them were in the series.
Is MOON KNIGHT the best of the Marvel Disney+ series? Tough call: LOKI in particular still gives it a run for its money. But those two were the only shows that I made to sure to watch on the day of release. That’s probably diagnostic.
May the Fourth be with You.
Happy Star Wars Day! I personally think ROGUE ONE and THE MANDALORIAN have been the best of the modern bunch of Star Wars. But then, I haven’t watched all that much of the animated stuff. Your mileage may, as they say, vary.
