    If you were looking at the shirts I sell...

    ... they're about to go away. My shirt printer is retiring, and I have no replacement.

    After May 5 I'm going to take down the online order links on my little business's online store, and after this summer I'll clear out of whatever shirts I have left.

    So if you'd noticed any of these before, now's effectively the last chance.

    Not back to KSP yet, but I did do some space stuff.

    I haven't touched KSP since my early experience with KSP2 was a combination of glitchy game and impossible-to-read UI. I've been thinking about it here and there, but I've had other things to do.

    But that doesn't mean I'm not doing space stuff, and yesterday I finally edited and posted a video of such.

    My muse is nagging me.

    I've done very little writing the past five months, partly due to being busy, but mostly due to recurring headaches when it's writing time.

    I have a couple weeks off, and I'm going to try to make time to get back on my projects (the Octavia story and novelizing Peter is the Wolf). But my mind... well... it's trying to jump ahead, or possibly back.

    Life imitates art...

    So, a privately built and operated space probe became the first US lander to soft-land on the Moon last week- Odysseus.

Maretian hardcopy... good news, bad news. · 8:16pm Jan 15th, 2019

The good news is, the IndieGoGo project has been revived and altered.

The bad news is, in order for the print run to break even at fifty copies instead of a hundred, the price for the three-book hardcover set has gone up. A lot.

The revised project only runs for two weeks. Here it is:

Yes, so I heard. I'll give it one more go, because I really want to be able to own this, so to speak. But I'll not go a third time. Cost-benefit, yes?

In any case, I hope you end up with one at least, a creator ought to be able to hold their work in their hands.

Slashie, the guy who's working this, probably isn't going to go for a third print anyway and sadly printing a single book instead of bulk is really expensive.

Hope this run will succeed though.

Looks like it'll be 2e for me. I'm not getting paid while I'm out here earning my CDL; that happens when I get out on a trainer truck, which won't be for a while yet

Oh sweet my wish was answered

I get the impression that a second edition is unlikely.

As much as I love the idea of owning these books (and I do. A lot), shortly before and after Christmas really is the worst possible time.
I do hope you'll run a second printing at some point.

Not in the near future, anyway. Over on the Discord server for the group organizing this print-run, the general agreement is that a 2e will happen at some point in the future, just no ideas on when...

I wouldn't bet on it unless the current run succeeds. So I can not recommend waiting on a second run.

Well, $102 was doable in my current situation. $150-whatever that last digit is is most certainly NOT, at least not until I get out on a trainer truck... which will be AFTER this campaign ends. Fuck me, I guess

That did not come across as intended. Apologies.

Seven months later, is there any way to get a set?
