2025-12-10 Rerun commentary: I suspect firing a flintlock pistol on board a zeppelin filled with hydrogen might not exactly be the safest thing you could do. Of course neither is boarding a Nazi war vessel with intent to take it over.

Beware Of Chicken - v7c10: The Virtuous's Reward
Dec. 10th, 2025 02:57 ambewareofchicken_feedGuan Chyou of the Azure Jade Trading Company loved what was becoming a semi-annual journey north; it was a full third of her year that was spent traveling, and yet, every moment was worth it.
The wind in her hair, the strain of travel, the feeling of adventure… all of it was fantastic. She could tell why her ancestors chose this profession. It was freeing.
They traveled light, making very good time on their horses… and better time on their carts. Their last trip north had allowed them to purchase some miraculous new equipment from Mengde’s Crystal Emporium.
Master Jin had shown them Lady Biyu’s newest creation, the Partial Storage Array. They had tested the new arrays extensively… and now the trading company was buying as many of them as the crystal carvers were selling. The demand was so high they were using their new contacts outside the province to purchase both defective storage crystals, and any spare scraps people had.
Another lucrative venture for them both. They increased the speed at which the caravans could move by over fifty percent when fully laden. Axle and wheel breakdowns were being reduced to a fraction. Animal wear? The beasts practically skipped along the road, and now they could run while fully laden, in case anything went wrong.
It also took nearly five days off the trip north. The gates (...)

I'm sure if time travel was a competition, this would be the scoring method.
2025-12-09 Rerun commentary: I suspect as a story writer I've killed more Hitlers than most. So I'm pretty well placed in that competition too.
Episode 2711: Order Gave Each Thing View

Information is something that can be either extremely difficult to come by, or be essentially free for the taking. In the modern age, and for non-dystopian future science fiction settings, you can pretty much find anything online and download whatever you want. If you want to keep things unknown, you need to come up with reasons why the knowledge wouldn't already be widely spread. It can be top secret, guarded by governments or other institutions, or perhaps lost to civilisation and only recoverable through a perilous expedition.
In historical or fantasy settings, information can be a lot harder to find. Great quests must be made to learn precious trickles of fact. Perhaps only wizened old sages have the knowledge you need, hidden away in dusty tomes of yore. Or it can be magically concealed or erased from people's minds.
Either way, a quest for information can be just as good a goal as a quest for riches.

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Oh, well, there we go. One set of coordinates, ready to use. And we're definitely heading there next judging by Chewie's comment. I'll bet the planet's major feature is city ruins. I think we've covered just about every other kind of planet, even with some repeats. Imagine the Resistance having to explore a place like Coruscant that's empty of people or visibly in disrepair? It might even be that industrial mirror place the Falcon accidentally jumped into!
And of course Poe causes the next problem. No surprise there. What is interesting is that Kylo appears to have been entranced by the wall pipes. Is there something on display just out of the panel? Was Kylo trying to use the Force for tracing the protagonists? Is he finally losing his mind and/or has run out of minions to vent his anger at? Who can say!

December 9, 2025: A Rein Of Cuteness
Dec. 9th, 2025 06:20 amdaily_illuminator_feedHere's a fun article about reindeer roaming the busy streets of downtown Rovaniemi, Finland – a rarity – complete with pictures.
Now, I could take the opportunity to plug some of our holiday offerings to tie into the . . . um . . . reindeer games. But I'm not that crass.

ffuturesThis is a new bundle of independently-produced material for the popular Forged in the Dark rules-set, also including Blades in the Dark, the game that originated the system. Blades... has been in several previous bundles, the others are new.

Also just accidentally knocked over a box of satin pins, did not realize what I had knocked over, and stepped down. Barefoot.
Guess which I'd rather repeat.

No, surely not?
2025-12-08 Rerun commentary: That goes against everything the Nazis stand for! Actually, in real history the Nazi military started off as terrifyingly competent, but gradually got worse throughout the war. So I suppose this theme being a parody, progressing in reverse makes sense.
December 8, 2025: Give Yourself Something To Talk About
Dec. 8th, 2025 06:26 amdaily_illuminator_feedAs I mentioned back in May, one of my hobbies is fiddling with constructed fictional languages.
All this month, r/conlangs, a subreddit focused on "constructed languages for language geeks," is hosting a language-expansion challenge.
Each day during the month of December, the hosts present a new topic, including ideas on what kinds of words to craft. This is a great way to add at least 31 new words to that conlang you've been developing on the side. Check this post for an overview of this year's event. Then return every day to discover the most recent topic and add your ideas to that post.
You can also use the #lexember tag on Tumblr to join in the fun, or share your efforts on our forums.
