Yeah, I wish there was a dedicated spot to display that info. I’ve also updated the FAQ - hopefully that helps too! Should have thought of that!

(You can see the projected delivery dates on the Pledge Level listings, but unfortunately only if you click the “Learn More” button. I wish we had a little more space to squeeze it in to the displayed text)

Backer PDF projected delivery is May 2026. Hardcover projected delivery is May 2027.

Onyx Path is pretty good hitting the PDF deadline. Printing and production of hardcovers has seemingly been a challenge lately, but they’ve said there are some new partnerships that should hopefully fix that.

Gonna have some Canadian flavour as a treat!

What ex-security officials think of Pierre Poilievre’s top secret security stance - National | Globalnews.ca Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre argues that accepting classified intelligence would stop him from holding the Liberal government to account.

Poilievre's security clearance? What are we even doing here and why isn't everyone asking this about this? And asking again. Then again. Then when he talks bullshit, ask him again. Then again. His answer is dumb. This is low hanging fruit. Or am I missing something?

It’s a daily pill holder, with Sunday open as I took my morning pills.

I also experience the joy of opening the advent calendar each day as we count down to the holidays - although in a more mature fashion.

What does this mean? Am I finally getting some Claudio art in a MtG set? I sure hope so!!

Advent calendar - numbered boxes holding mostly cheap toys with an occasional Homestar Runner character pin.

Family Tradition: Every year I put together custom advent calendars for my (now adult) children. The secret is it can be mostly forgettable nothings as long as there’s a home run every 4-6 days. Helps find the holiday spirit in the busy time of year.

Drastically reduced my social media posts over the past few years for my own mental health. Vibe of this site may lure me back a bit, though I’ll probably keep it light.

So… pictures. Not trying to stick to a theme, but … Bat-Dragon.
