Plain Pies and Battered Saveloys

A few weeks ago I was guest of honour at the ArcanaCon RPG convention in Melbourne. The Brown Dirt Cowboy came with me, and we took advantage of this unique chance to travel Down Under to tack a roadtrip on after the con. The whole thing was an amazing experience: we’re both still digesting what […]

Quotes by Sarah Newton (?)

“Human identity is fundamentally an illusion; it’s an evolutionary overhang which lets us function as coherent self-aware animals. But, on a deep level, we have no real evidence that when we wake up we’re the same person who went to sleep.”
― Sarah Newton, Mindjammer

“accept a given set of assumptions about how the world is. Even intelligent people. And then we use our intelligence entirely within the framework of those assumptions, without ever realising that they might be wrong—might be misleading—even that they’re there at all.”
― Sarah Newton, Mindjammer

Sarah’s Quotes

“If, after having been in someone's presence, you feel like you've lost a quart of plasma - avoid that presence. No one likes to hear the word "vampire" used around here... it's kind of bad for our public image.”
