Made a series of squad insignias back when I was working on Solstice Rain. Many Union squads are named after alcoholic drinks. This Sagarmatha is from Squad Highball, a ThirdComm unit formed from the remnants of Squad Whisky, a SecComm era unit that was almost completely destroyed in the civil war.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

It’s very ironic that PF, founded as Continuity 3e, inevitably converged on the same answers to 3e’s problems, to the same backlash.

That said, since so many of the experienced people got fired from the major publications, there are a lot of folks doing this work these days who are not critics at all, I am realizing.
On this particular day I want to say that a critic's job is to criticize art, and an artist's job is to make something that resonates with specific people, which necessarily means it won't resonate with others. If every critic liked a piece of art, one or the other of us would not be doing our jobs.

Sitting down to make an Official Traveller TRPG, taking out a copy of D&D5E and staring at it thoughtfully for 16 hours before crossing out "Fireball" and writing "Fusion Gun, Man Portable" next to it
The best science-fiction role-playing game ever, adapted at last to the world's most popular rules!
