Hey @Scholastic @scholasticuk @scholasticCDA.

We'd like to know why Joyce Chng's Fire Heart will not be available outside your Asia division. We adore @jolantru, but the majority of our crew cannot get this book because they live abroad.

We want Fire Heart. #GiveUsFire

*dusts this thing off* Is this any better now?
I can't spell "shield' on the first try usually, and often typo 'the', but I just typed 'quetzalcoatlus' from memory, and I don't even know my own brain.
Relatedly, holy fuck do I have a lot of work this winter.
And yet another email account added to my life. GMail is starting to give me the side-eye about this, I think.
The best thing about editing a game system is that I now understand it enough to run it. Considering running a homebrew horror campaign with heavy Lovecraftian elements set in the distant past. Sumeria, maybe...
I did not need to find a local baker who makes the best brown butter shortbread I have ever had, but here we are, and of course I find one who doesn't actually have a shop.
"WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND INFORMATION ABOUT GREEK EUNUCHS?" is not a thing I expected to have yelled at me in chat today.
And if there isn't one already, I'd really like to see an instance that's specifically for pros in gaming, comics, and SFF publishing.
Is it possible to create new instances? I can't figure this out from the main site. Also, searchable list of instances would be great.
