An exceptionally poor year for reading for me; entire weeks passed when I could not concentrate enough to take things in.
Still, you don't get much better than bookending a year with a pair of Sir Terry's. 😀

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

Sorry, this one seems to have too many illogical leaps of plot for me. And, like the last one, the editing is poor.
e.g. As a reward the PCs are granted a "blessing against poison", which allows them to ignore water based difficult terrain.

Is there any estimate of when (or I suppose if) the errata pack for Vantage will be back in stock please?

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

For most of human history half of babies born died before they were five. And then we collectively worked out how to stop that.
Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

No.32 Death Sails a Wine-Dark Sea, by @paizo.com (Brian Duckwitz) . #2025reads
This seems to leave more to the GM than most APs, whether that's good or bad is up to the GM.
And more editing errors than usual. Doors that change from stone to metal, an island both 1 mile and 50' off shore, and more.

Nice start to an AP. It's got a few things missing, but nothing that cannot be worked with.
The "simple" encounters needed for 1st level characters are a little different to usual, which is good to see.

James Dyson owns more UK land than the actual KING. But he pays an effective tax rate of LESS THAN 1%* on his total wealth.
Here’s a novel idea @keirstarmer: to fund schools and hospitals, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES.
