As a quick note to my Patreon patrons, as of the start of July they will be charging sales tax on assorted, but not all, patron pledges, thanks to new legal requirements. This affects 36 states of the US and assorted foreign parts, in different ways for each, and may

Well, here we are. As those of you who missed the minor disruption last night won’t know, we’e now all transferred over from WordPress.com hosting to a private WordPress instance running on a DigitalOcean droplet, leading to a glorious new era of something that looks much the

So, it’s been pretty quiet around here this month. Part of that is post-book recovery, of course, but another part is that in celebration of Book III, I’ve been working on a fairly comprehensive revamp of the technical end of this site and its associated operations to make

Okay. I regret having to do this, because by and large I enjoy engaging with my readers and satisfying their curiosity, but — I am, as of now, declaring a complete, conclusive, and perpetual moratorium on all “gotcha” questions. (I am not providing a definition, because definitions can be gamed; if

Many congratulations go out from us here at The Eldraeverse to SpaceX on yesterday’s successful and awesome launch of the Falcon Heavy: (A few raised fingers go out, too, to all the Obstructive Naysayers on Twitter – although fortunately for everyone, at least they were in the distinct minority.)
