Just to say that I devoured Star Impact up-to-date recently and it absolutely rules! Love everything you’re doing!

Just seen a Kickstarter trying to charge 13 quid for a 50-odd page PDF??

I understand the need for higher prices on print books and shipping, but I dunno how those factors apply to digital goods.

Digital goods are zero overhead so you price low to get more pledges in the door? What am I missing?

Fraser nailing it here. We badly need RM pulling back into public ownership because it’s getting absurd.

I want to do another Kickstarter eventually but each year that passes it seems less and less feasible.

Seeing people get into histrionics about this question the same way they do about β€œwhat brush is that” and tbh the person asking is probably young and trying to learn.

They’re picking up on surface level stuff and focusing on that because they’re still learning to look deeper. Be civil, be open!

I’m VERY excited to see what happens to this awful mural once it’s finished.

I’m pretty sure it’s because they were in the mood for a melody and he did, in fact, have them feeling alright. I could be wrong though.

Very good to hear! The Dunk & Egg books are my favourite emanation of Martin’s world. Glad they kept the tone!

It’s this mind of brainrot from think tanks that froze the momentum of the Harris/Walz campaign. People need to stop listening to these clowns both in the US and the UK. They are not smart people.

Ew, this is my mayor as well. Same mayor that’s allowing the council and private landlords to extort and strangle small businesses across her remit.
