Re: Fantastic Books Kickstarter
So how many other Ooliters are in on the new Kickstarter? I'm going to have to let Dan sort out my Veteran uplift - since I've pledged for boxed set of four hardbacks but already pledged for paperbacks of Drew's and Allen Stroud's books (and I have two versions of Fusion already (Kindle and a Smashw...

My wife told me just a few minutes ago. We're losing a lot of great SF writers this year!Cody wrote:She was a great writer, and the only winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature to have written sci-fi (I think) - Canopus in Argos: Archives was strangely excellent.

Re: Another KickStarter - 8-bit oldtimers - Hewson Games
