07/03/2020 Progress Report, FERMI RESOLUTION RPG: 25,600/37,800.
I’ve decided to go with a 64 page supplement, roughly 15 of which will be made of rules. That means that I have to shore up existing word count in a few places and add a few more pages elsewhere. The good news is, if I keep hitting the 1K words or so I managed today, it’ll be done by the middle of the month. Then it can be made coherent.
You can see the various snippets of progress on my Patreon:
Patreon!…and I am sorry to say: this is going to be a month of fulfilling obligations, sorry. I got material that people paid for to chew through, and that’s going to take priority. You know how it goes.
“Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe” gets a release date!
Yeah! Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe comes out August 28 on Disney+! My kids are going to be so thrilled!
Yup. My… kids. That’s who will be thrilled to hear about it. My kids. Ya, you betcha.
…I couldn’t find a version in English.
Yes, yes, I was being unfair about (the exceptionally patriotic) musical HAMILTON.
I blame my proletarian impulses, as that much money for a theater ticket was absurd. And yet: having watched HAMILTON, I am nigh-forced to concede that it is a lavish, exuberant paean to the Founding Fathers and American exceptionalism, without being either puerile or sentimental in its patriotism. They portrayed the struggles of the American Revolution and the early days of the Republic in a quite entertaining and appreciative fashion, and it will be well worth your while to watch the performance on Disney+. They even managed to give Aaron Burr more than two dimensions! Quite impressive.
All in all, an excellent diversion for the night before Independence Day.
And as for the theater tickets… well. I suppose that I should simply chalk that up to the free market. High demand, low supply. It’s not HAMILTON’s fault that it was something people wanted to spend money to see.

PS: I understand that, at one point, the actors behaved extremely badly in public. They should not have done that.
More material for the FERMI RESOLUTION RPG up on Patreon.
I may start putting more stuff up here, too. Anyhoo, here’s the second part of the stuff on the Universal Dominion. Kind of weird to be finally getting back into all of this, really.
Tweet of the Day, It Really Is And You Need To Stop Using TikTok edition.
It’s a security — well, not ‘mess.’ That would imply that TikTok isn’t actually working exactly as it’s designed to, and I’m not sure I in fact want to imply that. But this is why I don’t use the damned thing:

Hey, if you got the FROZEN DREAMS Kickstarter short story sampler…
…via email, let me know, OK? I think I didn’t click a button until just now, so they didn’t distribute – but I think I fixed what was wrong. Hopefully everybody will get the short story sampler now.
In the e-Mail: the @HPLHS Imprisoned with the Pharaohs DART.
I think that IMPRISONED WITH THE PHARAOHS is the last Dark Adventure Radio Theater that I need to get, besides of course for the Masks of Nyarlathotep special DART. It’s been a long time coming, really. I cannot recommend the HPL Historical Society store enough, by the way: if you’re at all into this stuff, they invariably offer high-quality merchandise, for every budget. Check ’em out.
The FROZEN DREAMS Pre-Order store closes Saturday.
It’s time, I think. Things are progressing to the point where the pre-order store will start interfering with my calculations, so… forty-eight hours, folks. After that, you can always get FROZEN DREAMS on Amazon.
