The perfect human squirrel.
Having grown up on Bethesda-era Fallout, I was unprepared for just how much Interplay-era Fallout would kick my ass. Repeatedly.

Very disappointed in the new Nebula Award eligibility information from SFWA that allows partially-generated works to be on the ballot. See 9.11.2.
