‘Don’t Fear The Reaper.’
Regular posting back tomorrow.
Book of the Week: THE LAST GRADUATE.
I suspect that my choice of Naomi Novik’s THE LAST GRADUATE for Book of the Week is unsurprising. Honestly, it may end up being my favorite book this year. It and A DEADLY EDUCATION are just, you know, neat.
Off to the book fair!
And it’s a nice day for it, too. I recommend all of you go have lunch where you can feel the breeze. See you this evening!

I think I’m ready for @FrightReads tomorrow.
Books packed up, gear collected, printouts updated and printed. All I have to do tomorrow is load up the car and then I can go. Hopefully I’ll be selling some books, too!
Here’s the link to Fright Reads, on the off chance that you haven’t seen it ten million times by now already. Sorry, but the algorithm is a harsh mistress.
Scarlett Johansson gets the Mouse to cough up some dough.
(Via Hot Air) I dunno for how much. Enough that it’s all smiles, now. No, really. It’s probably a clause in the settlement.
Alan Bergman, the chairman of Disney Studios Content, said he, too, was pleased to have resolved the dispute.
“I’m very pleased that we have been able to come to a mutual agreement with Scarlett Johansson regarding ‘Black Widow,’” he said in a statement. “We appreciate her contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and look forward to working together on a number of upcoming projects, including Disney’s ‘Tower of Terror.’”
And ain’t it just like the Mouse to use a press release like this to drop the first hints of an upcoming Disney project. It’s like a goram machine, huh? And strangely admirable — or at least something to imitate. Always Be Closing, my droogies. Always Be Closing.

Note that I borrowed the name for my recent short story, not the other way around. I checked first, obviously. Ben was cool about it; but then, he’s a righteous dude.
Welp, that’s the last of the first wave of FERMI RESOLUTION RPG edits done.
I should be get the rules edits by the end of the month, not to mention the rest of the art. After that, I can send the project back, have my layout designer clean up everything, and then… it’ll be done! And praise God.
A slightly spoilerific sample page after the fold. The final language will change, mind.

Finishing up what edits I need to for the worldbook.
Mostly so that I don’t have it hanging over my head when I finally get the rest of the stuff. The edits to the rules language and the new art work will be fairly significant, and I don’t want to feel oppressed when it comes time to integrate them into the RPG. Besides, it’s somewhat satisfying to see the work progress. I’ve wanted the FERMI RESOLUTION RPG worldbook off of my to-do list for a while now.
