The ALL YOU NEED IS KILL *anime* trailer.

Not the ‘Edge of Tomorrow‘ anime trailer, mind you. This looks more like the original ALL YOU NEED IS KILL novel (which is good, mind you). I’ve never seen the Tom Cruise flick, but I might catch this one.

The GOOD BOY non-trailer.

Apparently they didn’t make one? I’m guessing, at least. Which is a shame, because GOOD BOY sounds like a, heh, killer concept: “This chilling and surprisingly heartfelt horror film is told entirely from the perspective of Indy, a devoted dog who must protect his owner from a supernatural force.” Apparently it’s getting rave reviews at SXSW, but I’m intrigued anyway. And good luck getting Hollywood to make something like this without messing it up…

Had a meeting today on the worldbook.

I sat down with my layout guy – well, we did a video call, because it turned into the future when I wasn’t looking. Anyway, things are going well: mostly he wanted to know what my aesthetic was going to be on various things, and to make sure that the way he was doing things wasn’t going to drive me nuts. Likewise, I needed to make sure that the extra materials I had sent over and final physical layout was all in order, so that there wouldn’t be any surprises on my end. It all looks good! I still want some more art, but I’m always going to want more art. It’s like an illness that you don’t want cured.

PS: Oh, all right.

…I just sat there. Slack-jawed. And then I went and found the song.

Self-Tweet of the Day, This Is Just ODD edition.

It’s not that somebody’s turning around and selling one of my books on Ebay at a 100% markup. It’s that it’s obvious what the book is selling for, and that it’s not out of print. You can even order GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND on Amazon today! Two day free shipping for Prime members!

I'm not going nuts here, right? I don't even mind. I just… the price is RIGHT THERE on the book cover. pic.twitter.com/QSx7ho7hrH

Some Fermi Resolution Worldbook updates.

In

We’re almost at the stage of smoke tests, which will happen this weekend before I send surveys out. More here.The pre-order store is really and truly up now. Keep an eye out for maybe adding a coupon for a hardcover version of the book. (Note: the worldbook will be fulfilled by DriveThruRPG).I finished up the Mages’ Alliance stuff and put it up on Patreon. A version of that will show up in the adventure stretch goal.

So, busy day!

The FEAR ITSELF: SHATTERED VEIL Edition Crowdfunder.

Not Kickstarter or Backerkit; something European, I’m guessing because of their increasingly weird tax laws. Anyway, FEAR ITSELF: SHATTERED VEIL looks very promising – then again, it’s Pelgrane Press. I have the first edition, and it is cool, original, and very messed up, in an elevated sort of way. I still remember the Man in the Bar…

03/12/2025 Snippet, PICKMAN’S MODELS.

Tobias? Oh, he’s fine. Perfectly fine. Nothing wrong at all. Why do you ask?

…

“Yessir.” Buckley paused. “What do we do if they start surrendering, Boss?”

Tobias thought that was the funniest thing he had ever heard, but you tried not to laugh, these days. Too many people started, and never stopped. “We’ll figure it out then.” A thought occurred to him. “We’ll be busting out the prisoners soon, won’t we? They’ll have ideas.” Maybe just one giggle? No, still too risky, dammit. “Oh, I bet they will!”

The look on Buckley’s face was enough to make Tobias wonder if he had giggled anyway. “Right. So, hey, Boss: should we be looking for a communications room, or something? Check in with home that way? Get a chance to talk with everybody?”

The corporal seemed to be a little off right now, but that was still a great question. “Keep an eye out, but the people here probably didn’t have one. They were hiding, remember? Hiding from the War and just wanting to be left alone.” Tobias scowled. “Until the Red Imperials came. Then it didn’t matter what anybody wanted.”

The SPINAL TAP II teaser trailer.

I am… not sure about this. Although going to see THIS IS SPINAL TAP itself in theaters this summer has its appeal.

Oh, who am I kidding? I have to go see the sequel. It’s part of the compact. As the saying goes: they pretend to be a band, and we pretend to be their fans. Nobody’s ever gonna accuse me of being a FAKE pretend fan.
