Fortunately, not only was the Kickstarter campaign successful, but I have learned …

Schedule Mishaps, and Kickstarter Things
As I have been busy getting the Rosaria of Venice Kickstarter campaign ready to go, I did not manage to get yesterday’s post up. I do apologize. In order to keep this from happening (as there are no signs of me getting less busy in the coming weeks), I will be scaling down my posts for …

Runicfire Recap: April 25 – May 6
I’ve been crunching for finals the past few weeks, and have slipped on my Google+ and Facebook announcements. My apologies.

This Week on Runicfire: April 15th – April 21st
Via this Monday’s links, we learn of segregation’s lingering ghost, the Devil’s Kimchee, and jokes hidden in old Star Trek episodes. The more I hear about the environment, especially the melting of arctic ice, the more alarmed I become. I also find it surprising how many people remain skeptical of global warming, or that we are …
