I posted earlier about the upcoming Broadleaf Writers Conference, but there have been a few changes to my worldbuilding panel, so I’m using that excuse to post again and remind you writers out there that this is a really good, intimate conference with lots of great speakers.

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?"

A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons.

Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

Now that the madness of Dragon Con is over, I can turn my attention to the upcoming 10th-Annual Broadleaf Writers Conference, this September 20-21 at the Decatur Library in downtown Decatur, GA. I'll be moderating a panel on worldbuilding! Come join us! broadleafwriters.com/10th-annual-...

Our classic #4X #indiegame Emperor of the #FadingSuns is part of a #Steam bundle with HyperEmpire and Noble Armada: Lost Worlds. I am streaming HyperEmpire while talking about how a #gamedev can set up their own Steam bundles. youtube.com/live/A78_isk...

Hope you're recovered from Gen Con. I wish I could have been there. (P.S. When will the Pendragon Magnum Opus edition go on sale for those of us who couldn't be there?)

But surely mining that seam would yield so much gold!

Is there any way we can get a look at the pitch or script for The Lemurians?

In 1974, Jack Kirby Kirby did a story where the super-rich are so powerful they are able to rent entire cities and turn them into their playground & push aside all lawful authority. ("In the Era of the Super-Rich," OMAC #4, 1974).

I’m one of those “freedom freaks”!

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 To Open Evil Tomb Of Batibat

"The Temptations of Technology In the late 21st century, humankind began to see that the impacts of technology had produced profound behavioral changes. Instead of sensibly rejecting it, people leveraged technology’s new tools to wreak havoc on the political and cultural landscape. Had this been as far as the trend went, and if people had learned their lesson, perhaps society could have avoided the worst to come, but instead they decided to take the next obvious step: integrating new, psychologically altering technology directly into their brains, past the filters of their senses. This next leap of “innovation” gave rise to a twisted kind of artificial slavery, where advertisements were dumped into people’s heads unless they paid for filters to keep them out. This innovation facilitated the rise of revolutionary movements. The Neo-Luddites hid from society’s worst excesses, while the extra-solar Sathraists, unknown to most, sometimes gained psychic powers from exposure to an even higher level of technology. These two extreme ways to preserve identity — the use of lower-level or higher-level tech — gave birth to the idea of techgnosis. The concept of techgnosis concerns itself with whether the subject can maintain their integrity, a sense of whether one’s soul mirror can receive the holy Light while being shadowed by technology’s animus. It’s the primary epistemology through which the Church expresses sentient relationships with technology. Those who fall too deeply into technology’s shadow open themselves to compulsions that arise, not from within themselves, but from the tools they are using."

So @billbridges.bsky.social knocked this one out of the park in the Fading Suns character book.

Like damn in 2025 that sure hits like a truck.

If it's been on the Nostromo, you probably shouldn't open it.

Just remembering how Joe Biden forgiving some student loans was taking the power of the presidency too far.

CEOs upset about Trump’s tariffs sound like mob bosses shouting “I thought we had a deal!” at the Joker.

oh, WHOAH. on the slope up to Douglas Preston's Extinction. And? Cool that GRRM was behind the curtain on this—cool for me because when we played Werewolf Apocalypse (see @chuckwendig.bsky.social there, & @billbridges.bsky.social running it!), I was . . . a dire wolf for the whole campaign!
