The one I bought last year appears to be low stock/backordered, but I highly recommend that you order yourself a heated mouse pad / desk mat before we get much further into chilly season.

It was a real pleasure to chat with @shannonappelcline.bsky.social about his upcoming new set of books.

"Appelcline: I was delighted to write about the original edition of Palace of the Silver Princess. This is one of the most legendary products ever published by TSR because the first edition of it was destroyed. They printed it, they gave out copies to the people at TSR, they got some out to distributors, and then — this is all hearsay, but that's part of what made it exciting, trying to figure out what happened — management, apparently, got a look at it and said, oh, this is terrible, we can't send it out. They went around, they collected the copies from everyone at TSR, they tried to get whatever copies that they'd sent out back. And then they had one person in charge of bringing them out to the landfill and watch as they were bulldozed under, so that no one else got copies of them."

There are so many decisions to make and potential mistakes when reprinting.

Timing. Printing too many vs too few. Matching quality — or figuring out if there's an acceptable change. Does the price stay the same or does it get bumped to match a more recent book? How many corrections are worth it?

My least favorite bit about self-publishing is figuring out the right time to do a new print run. It costs tens of thousands of dollars, so I can't over-invest in stock, but I inevitably get caught off guard by a sell-through and have long gaps where items are not available at all. I suck at it.

Today I flattened all the boxes that had been chilling in my closet since I moved, and threw away the really crappy ones. So much more space!!

There were multiple sessions of church today. I picked this one, a bucket list concert: GARBAGE.

Wish I could be at the VFW hall to see the f1rst wrestling crew as well. I think they’ll understand.

Any Minnesota folks switched their phone/data over to Visible+ from a regular Verizon account?

Any hiccups?

I'm bringing a phone, don't want to upgrade it, want to keep my number.
