I saw Asuka was trending on twitter.
It was not the good Asuka.
Some lousy 3D woman who does some acting competition thing where they pretend to be hurt or something.

In other words I have no interest.
Now back to proper stuff, like editing, and satisfying readers.

I have to prep all the stuff I need for comicon ahead of time.
What do I need?
Uh…..
My wallet, my money, clothes… that means costume. I have a costume that’s good.
Do I need my bag?
I have a drink to take for the train. Anything else….
Ah I’m sure I’ll figure it out anyway.

I just remembered that in two weeks I am having to run my next session of my Star Trek RPG.
I don’t actually have an episode roadmap yet, I need to work on that.
I at least know the premise of the episode though so that’s good.

The crew of the ship are dispatched to respond to a distress call from an orbital research station.
They will arrive to find it in an unstable orbit and carrying some highly unstable alien technology.

I finally unsubscribed from a blog that I was getting emails from for some reason.
Given how I had gone through the elaborate process of setting up email notifications for it I must have really liked it back in the day when I subscribed.
Which would have been about 2015 give or take I think.

But the writer was completely frustrating me in each of their new posts.
Constant unnecessary swearing, a ‘kids these days’ attitude to Gen Z and a bunch of other stuff that made me annoyed.
I finally hit my limits and just unsubbed.
Goodbye person I used to like!

So a few years back I signed up for this mailbox thing of Japanese stuff.
It was kind of just like a random assortment of fan anime merch that would get shipped to you once a month.
As far as I can tell it floundered and failed pretty quickly… or so I thought.

I went in my spam today and realised I’m still getting update emails from them.
So I guess they didn’t just immediately financially die somehow?
The entire process for signing up was a mess back then, I can’t remember why I did it honestly.
I’m also fairly sure that the unsubbing process was convoluted and probably designed to fail.
A scam essentially.

Anyway, that’s a fun story.

The final session of “Episode 1” of my Star Trek Adventures RPG Campaign finally wrapped up.
There was a lot of twists and turns.
Investigating mysterious crew disappearances, fighting an alien mutagenic virus, uncovering a conspiracy, and encountering a weird blob monster.
All in a days work for Starfleet, literally!

Now with two of the crew transferred off for the construction of Deep Space 9 II and their early mission behind them they must set course for new adventures.
Which is fancy terms for saying, two of the players had to drop out and I need to prepare the next episode.
And find some replacement players.

Oh boy.

I just got an email saying one of my books has been posted!
So this means I have another book to work out where to make space for on my already full bookshelf.
Yaaaaay!

Maybe it’s time for another complete rearrange?

I have a week left until the finale of ‘episode 1’ of my Star Trek Adventures campaign.
I must remember this, for I have an intense duty to read the rules.

Because the finale is a fight, and I haven’t read how fight rules work.
This is important, because fight rules are for uh… fights.
Yeah, well I have read the rules but that was months ago, literally, when I copied them out by hand.

Anyway here’s your chapter.

Somehow today I ended up watching a 30 minute video on the geology of minecraft caves.
I don’t even play minecraft anymore, so I’m not sure how I ended up on it.
But I’ve also been getting pressure washing videos suggested to me again so maybe it’s algo mystery time?

Anyway I’ve been in a position of wanting to space out and switch my brain off a lot recently, so they’re a big help.

It will be almost May when this goes live, which means it’s almost my birthday month.
I have a few books coming in May.
Also my birthday as I mentioned.
Oh and comicon.
Hm…

A busy month all in all.
We’ll see how things turn out!

Riding the high of the Star Trek Picard finale was another session of my Star Trek Tenara rpg campaign!
And what a whammer it was, for lack of better term.

They hit both major reveals for the story in one session back to back, giving them a sudden shift in tone and urgency.
They found out the virus they’re dealing with is triple-helixed in structure.
And that one of the Starfleet personnel was involved in the missing crew members and sickness.

Chapter 50!

Not really a major major milestone but I felt like saying it.
Quite a lot happened today so I won’t elaborate much, I got some news among other things.
Uh, also it’s voting time here in the UK, things are happening.
Now just let us vote for the Prime Minister please… the current ones are incompetent.

I started watching One Hit Sister and was pleasantly surprised to see it was better than Two Hit Mom.
I find it amusing how those two franchises are totally separate entities despite the names.

Anyway, other stuff I’m watching…
Uh quite a lot.
Oh the Oshi no Ko anime obviously, have I mentioned that in a ramble yet?
I think I did.

I started a video in the background while preparing these and got totally distracted.
I just spent 2 hours reading tv trope pages and other random stuff after reading about a book in the comments of a video.
Man what a life.

You what I find really crazy?
TV tropes is sometimes more comprehensive on spoilers and lore content than the actual wikis for things!
For example with Blue Archive TVtropes is actually up to date with the asian servers latest plot twists.

I got distracted while writing this ramble because I went on a massive lore rant about A Certain Magical Index.
We were discussing those two tree things.
Well three in the context of Index.

Spoilers that the anime will probably never reach, but Clonoth is a cool as concept.
I love the idea of a technologically inclined tree of ascension.
