In trying to explain Traveller to the OSR discord I spent way too much time on this chart.

Short answer: support indie creators there’s awesome stuff in the Cepheus space. And this is the tip of the iceberg.

started reading All Systems Red by Martha Wells. Let's see if this novel lives up to the hype.

I don't really post much to social media anymore, but I thought I would report that after 29 years I finally watched all of #Babylon5 - I gave up during the telepath arc in season 5 when it was first shown.

Turns out that was a mistake, because it got pretty darn good after that! The Centauri story was really well done (and tragic, even though we basically knew what was going to happen).

The LotR analogies I've heard about the show held true given they gave each of the major characters a sending off at the end too :D (also "going beyond the Rim" is really obviously "sailing to the West"). And the last episode "Sleeping in Light" was really nicely done and very sad.

Though they did leave a few threads dangling... (like what happened to Bester's girlfriend, and what happened with that urn at the end)

But overall, it's a fantastic show and was really fun to watch it all again :). I'm off on vacation for a few weeks but maybe afterwards we'll watch Call to Arms and Crusade. #scifi

I don't know why we use #stars to rate #books, anyway. Stars are luminous spheroids of plasma in the sky with an average temperature of about 5000 to 6000 Kelvin.

I wouldn't want my books anywhere near one.
