Gap Week: September 2, 2022

Hey everyone! This week is going to be a gap week as I am currently at PDXCON 2022, possibly playing the Victoria III preview as you read these very words. I expected there to be no posts this week but controversy overtook that plan so there was something, albeit not the normal fare. Fear not, … Continue reading Gap Week: September 2, 2022 →

Gap Week: December 3, 2021

Hey folks! I know I was hoping to have Fortifications, Part III out this week, but in the inevitable bustle of the end of the semester combined with a few other pressing commitments, it just didn't quite work out. Alas, as much as I love ACOUP, it must play third fiddle to my teaching and … Continue reading Gap Week: December 3, 2021 →

Gap Week: June 18, 2021

Hey folks, no post this week. Last weekend being my anniversary, my better half and I had ourselves a little vacation and this has left me a bit behind. Unfortunately, I have a bit of scholarly writing which requires my attention and rather than defeat the entire purpose of my vacation by pulling a long … Continue reading Gap Week: June 18, 2021 →

Gap Week: April 22, 2021

Hey folks, no post this week. My schedule got disrupted this week by some unexpected stuff (nothing terribly bad, but time sensitive and pressing), so I don't have anything new for you just yet. I am currently working on what will be next down the pipline, which will be a (three part, I think) look … Continue reading Gap Week: April 22, 2021 →

Gap Week Roundup, Jan. 24, 2020

Hey folks. Apologies to those who were eagerly awaiting Part II of the Fremen Mirage series. While I have a draft of the next installment done, I don't feel like it is quite where I want it be, so I'm going to hold on to it for another week. Normally, I'd just push a bit … Continue reading Gap Week Roundup, Jan. 24, 2020 →
