πŸ“’Keep in mind, this is a limited time pre-order. (We here at Evil Hat need to provide vendors with proper quantities to produce these items.) So if you're in the UK, reserve your rewards now. We can't guarantee this pre-order will stay up (or that it won't sell out) after the campaign closes. πŸ‘‡

[Thread] Reviews of Project Hail Mary (March 20)

They are generally very good, and I am sharing them with you so that this movie will be a success, and then we will get more (mildly) hard sci-fi movies. 😁

A banner that says Little but Fierce: Streamlined 5th Edition for Children of All Ages. There’s a preview of the physical book cover and artwork. There’s a quote from Sarah Johnson, Education Consultant that says: β€œIn a sea of electronic alternatives, Little but Fierce stands as an exciting and fun competitor that will delight geeky parents and their children alike.” There are also four photos of the creative team: DC Bradshaw, Catarina EusΓ©bio, Sebastian YΕ«e and Jennifer Kretchmer.

Don't ever take this site or anything it publishes seriously. It is actively looking to hire people who hate Starfleet Academy to write about it.

As of 8 pm on 10.3.2026, this is live on LinkedIn.

Ask me again why I think the anti-SFA sentiment is manufactured.

I dislike living in this kind of interesting times.

I would rather live in the part where the arc of the moral universe is bending toward justice. I hope we can get on with that again soon.

Duality is a game that will challenge both the Players and the Storyteller to think and play differently, as they can navigate between two conjoined worlds. This leads to new ways to tell stories at the table, as players can lean into their strengths, adapting to the changing environments 1/3

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.

No one cares what a comic book writer thinks but if we all stand up and say this is wrong, we have seen that elections can be won, and a lot of people are fed up with Transphobes.

So please, let’s do that and not just shrug this off as another shitty thing in a long parade of shitty things.

Did not know you were uploading the episodes so quickly. Am loving everything about TTEOR so far, despite (or perhaps because of?) the persistent state of confusion I'm in. Stellar cast, Erin's descriptions as GM are *chef's kiss*, & kudos to production/artists who worked on the overlay and VOD.
