There have been so many fireworks around town for the last hour---and it's *still* going!---that the air has turned into smog. It is hazy! We are not even near any of the temples or association halls!

As I said before, I would like to see Dark Sun rehabilitated. Fixing it's first edition racism it's incredibly easy, and the setting is extraordinarily relevant: fascist tyrants that have wrecked the environment, enacted uncountable genocides, keep people uncultured and enslaved, etc.

I got my friend to bring back two books from NY for me. The first is one I have wanted for ages, the Mork Borg hex crawl Tephrotic Nightmares. What an interesting object. You can see the sewn binding, and the pages aren’t fully cut yet. Very cool.

In Port Dickson, the cyclone Senyar damaged a hundred homes. It also collapsed the product jetty (where processed oil gets onto tankers) of the Petron Malaysia refinery.
The refinery has been shut, since.

Five Tiers of RPG Publishing
Hasbro’s annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earnings the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games division was the only one that turned a profit in the entire company. Not only that, but Wizards is responsible for roughly 47% of the entire company’s revenue and over 90% of all revenue growth over the last year.

It's good that Rascal has issued corrections clarifying no breach of contract & contextualizing how much everyone was paid. But some of their readers continue to believe Jay didn't pay us — and will likely keep harassing her and spreading the original article's disinformation for years to come.
