Just finished reading up on the 2027 Ennie judge nominees and voting. Please do this. If we want to see the Ennies be the best representation of the community they can be, one way we can help is by making informed judge votes. vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2026/

Before voting, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the products and judges. Clicking on a product's title will take you to its publisher's websites, allowing you to learn more about that product.

I went to Las Vegas a few months ago. It was a trip with some ups (Penn & Teller, hanging out with some dear friends) and some pretty low downs (a massive case of food poisoning). I wrote about a good night I had:

Part 1 of my exploring a medical mystery that nearly took me out last year. Of course I'm very glad to be much more well today, but even more than that I'm glad I preserved my text messages because I'd wildly misremembered some details. thenightmail.beehiiv.com/p/the-clot-p...

In LA to help my partner with some family stuff; the first and foremost difference between this city and my home turf (besides the fact that July Is Nice Weather, already a shocking turn of events) is just how many dogs there are. Californians bring their dogs into places I'd never have dreamed.

Reminds me of this enterprising individual I saw the other day. I… I don't think you built that.
Photo of a very large bird nest, perhaps an eagle's, in a tree, with a bird's head looking tiny just poking out of the topThe same photo, cropped and zoomed in to reveal that the bird in the nest is a Canada goose

I designed a project alongside my dad—he did the words, I did the art. Science fiction concepts that make your spaceship game than just a heist/western/sports drama with beautiful chrome details. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Having lain in bed for three days with some terrible, horrible, no-good sickness, I did manage to at least *think* about work for fifteen minutes today before I fell asleep again.

Post-thanksgiving walk in the bird sanctuary where I gladly froze my fingers off for the pleasure of observing a barred owl sitting fluffed up right beside the trail.

Cold Sun's themes are terror, scarcity, and survival; which is why I think today is perfect to announce it's release date: November 30th! #ttrpg #osr #indie

I made an Oz-inspired suite of backgrounds for @melsonia.bsky.social's TROIKA! game. Do you want to be a gentle crocodile, an erudite creature grown to giant size, or a lost star, exploring Quadling Country? emily-cambias.itch.io/quadlings

The pod floats in orbit around an unnamed gas giant’s moon. When hailed, a simple recorded message plays: "Do not attempt contact with the planetary body below. It is a place of extreme peril and despair. This is the final resting place of John Kierney, captain of the Aeolus."

The local legends are vague: a woman died up there atop the twin-hill to save her lover, two centuries ago; in someone’s grandfather’s time a young girl went up the hill and never came back down. They’re wrong. What’s buried there is much older.
