In a somewhat Roman, somewhat desert landscape, a woman adorned in red and blue,jewels and accessories stands, looking out confidently towards the viewer. Her guards and advisors circle her, defering to her. Behind them all sits a winged, monkey-like creatureβ€”not dissimilar to a gargoyle. Is it her pet? Or an assassin?

A suspect line up on a yellow background but the heights are marked as things like "weirdo" "liar" and 5 ft. The entities in the line-up are surreal: a group of foxes leaping out of a top hat with an explosion of glitter (Cassandra Khaw); a stack of teetering televisions showing bright erratic colors, a 404 not found warning, and a portrait of Valiant Dorian, a brown skinned man, holding an animal mask to his face (Valiant Dorian); an anatomical metal heart hanging from a chain of violets (Jess Pendley); a porcelain bust on fire (Treavor Bettis); a composite figure prancing in a petal skirt with a head made of pink tentacles, surrounded by drawings of cute animals (Shanna Germain). To the left an eye in front of a hallway watches with the note "You must be this tall to seize the rins of reality" pointing at the height lines, with the game master's name underneath (Erin M. Evans). To the End of Reason: An Invisible Sun Actual Play on twitch.tv/dungeonscrawlers Mondats 5pm PST

The new cover of Predation, showing a female-presenting character with purple hair using a far-future piece of tech strapped to her thigh while a biologically engineered feathered dinosaur roars beside her.

Things I have studied recently for Predation, my far-future/far-past sci-fi dinosaur game:

-Can a vehicle drive under the belly of a brontosaurus?
-What happens when lightning strikes a vehicle?
-What does eating a raw mammal taste like?
-How big were wasps in the Cretaceous Period?

If you're voting for any of the sci-fi, fantasy, or other speculative fiction awards, do consider some of my work from last year!

I'm pretty sure voting is still open for the Nebulas, the Hugos, the Locus awards, the BSFA awards, and more!

I had an excellent time chatting with @natmesnard.bsky.social and @superdillin.bsky.social about games, the playful erotic, the rise of fan-games (the next step to fan fiction?) and more!

They are cool people, if you didn’t know. Just saying.

The image is bright and neon, with many flashing colors. A man with a colorful mohawk and several cybernetic enhancements rushes towards the viewer, perhaps in a fight. The text around him reads "Will you fight dystopian mega-corps with me?" It is a Valentine's card from MCG.
