Just saw this now. 😆

I don't get why cons for readers & writers give air to genAI; platforming its 'benefits' or 'showing both sides'. That's mainstream chat; not discussion for creatives & attendees come to see them. Treat genAI like the environmentally destructive inaccurate plagiarism machine we creatives know it is.

The 2025 volume of BASFF once again features some great stories! Full disclosure: For the past 6 years or so, I've been @johnjosephadams.com's assistant editor for these annual anthologies.

This one actually made me LOL. 😆

Congratulations to @chrisperkinsdnd.bsky.social on his retirement. His innumerable contributions to #DnD, especially #DnD5e, are in great part responsible for my deeper re-immersion in the game I've loved since the 1980s. The revised rules are amazing—a high note indeed for him to go out on!

Fascinating. And sounds like just the sort of nasty thing the Norman invaders would have done during those early years of conquest.... #TeamHarold 😜

This was probably my best shot of the 'blood moon' lunar eclipse last night.... 🌝

These are on my TBR list, and I look forward to reading them, but I also just want to say how much I love these covers--individually and as a thematic trio. They're just beautiful.

Science Fiction & Fantasy Pirate-Themed Anthology! An SF&F themed anthology about pirates from the small press Zombies Need Brains!

New ZNB #Kickstarter now LIVE at tinyurl.com/ZNBSkullXBones! Back now for #sff #antho about #pirates featuring @jenniferbrozek.bsky.social, Violette Malan, @ccfinlay.bsky.social, & more! Rewards and bonuses galore! Support #smallpress! #booksky #readingcommunity #fantasy #urbanfantasy #scifi

🤩 I'm on board for this! The original VIKINGS is one of my all-time favorites. I found the characters in the followup VIKINGS: VALHALLA far less compelling (even though I love that period of history), but BLOODAXE is closer temporally to the original and sounds like it has lots of potential. 🪓
