![]() ![]() ![]() But I will be there, playing games, doing some play testing, speaking on at least one panel and taking some meetings. There will not be a Coyote & Crow booth this year (and we currently do not have plans for any booths at shows at the moment). I'll be personally at PAX Unplugged next month. If you haven't filled out your survey yet, get on it! (<-thanks) You have my sincerest apologies on that front. My hope had been that by getting that information to PSI by 11/2 some of you would already have your physical rewards by now but that is sadly not going to happen. However, that also means that you'll all be getting your rewards after they've launched into retail, which is - today, 11/16. As of this morning, we've cleared up this misunderstanding and according to them, everyone who has filled out their surveys and had their shipping charged, should(I feel like I have to use that word)have their products out of our warehouse door by this Friday 11/18. However, they were (for some reason I cannot fathom) holding onto those orders until they received "the rest of them". I expected shipments of physical rewards to go out within the week. ![]() I sent the first wave of backer info to our shipping partner, PSI, on 11/2. Of 2400 backers, we have less than 200 who have not filled theirs out yet. First though, I want to say thank you to so many of you who promptly filled out your surveys. ![]()

Yunior also adds footnotes throughout the book with humorous asides, stories of Dominican history, or quotes from other books that help illuminate Oscar’s life. Interweaved throughout, Yunior also tries to explain and understand his own failed relationship with Oscar’s sister, Lola, and the Dominican heritage that binds them all together. ![]() Told by Oscar’s college roommate, Yunior, the book also includes flashbacks into the lives of Oscar’s mother and his grandfather, as they suffered during the Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic and finally came to America. The book shares the story of Oscar Wao (whose real name is Oscar de León), a Dominican American who never fits in with his communities, as he tries to assert his own identity and find love in the process. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this episode of the Afronauts Podcast, we introduce The Naut-y Awards!

Princess Diana? No, her great-great-great-great-aunt, Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire (1757-1806). Royals, aristocrats and politicians sought her opinion, for she was as influential as she was beautiful. Whatever she wore became instantly fashionable, and her parties were the ones to attend. ![]() She was the most prominent British woman of her day. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is never clearly defined but manifests perhaps most succinctly when it also results in the failure of an attempt to cross the void between galaxies.

It describes the fictional history of humanity's conquest of the galaxy that serves as environment for a number of the author's other novels.īirthright spans a timeline of nearly 17 millennia, beginning at a very early stage of expansion from Earth and ending with the death of the last humans.
