Lovely pals: if you can afford to pre-order Pagans (written by the lovely @jamesbluecat.bsky.social of Green Wing fame, edited by me!), I would be so grateful. I can’t tell you how much difference one pre-order makes, truly. I would also be hugely appreciative of any shares of the post below!

I think my main issue with Dune Prophecy was its incessant need to cram in the origin of everything. 10,000 years of history, and apparently everything significant emerged in a 3 month window.

I know a lot of office folk are at least partially Returned To Office these days, but it’s still a rare event for me.

So, Threads launches in a few days. Are we all going to split the communities again, and semi-migrate there?
