8. I was going to get my flur shot next week. Turns out that was a week too late. The flu sucks but this IV treatment the doctor gave me helped enormously. I'm back to 70% human now, as opposed to being blubbering, horrid mess a few hours ago. Still need to take it easy for now.

9. Here's another mini-essay tied in with Isle of Joy. This one's about evoking the uncanny in RPGs. I hope it makes sense. (I have the flu and might be delirious, I'm not sure.) gordsellar.com/2023/10/19/lessons-from-the-isle-of-joy-the-uncanny-in-rpgs/

10. Here's the third of my mini-essays on lessons I learned while writing and playtesting Isle of Joy, which is on Kickstarter now. This time, it's about, ahem, "strict time records" (and otherwise)... or, really, about time as an element in setting-building. gordsellar.com/2023/10/14/lessons-from-the-isle-of-joy-time-records-strict-and-otherwise/

12. Another mini-essay from me in awkward sales pitch mode for the Isle of Joy Kickstarter. This one's about XP when treasure take an unconventional form in your game. Controversial, maybe, but hear me out... gordsellar.com/2023/10/11/lessons-from-the-isle-of-joy-xp-in-a-survival-game/

13. Bought a sax mouthpiece today—great deal—from a guy living in a small village outside Cheongju. A really great, nice, friendly guy. He also amazed me by playing sax with 9.5 fingers. (He had a key attachment built onto his sax for the partly-amputated finger.)

14. Awkward salesman that I am, here's a little blog essay—maybe the first of a few—about stuff that came up writing/designing and playing my latest project, Isle of Joy (on Kickstarter now). gordsellar.com/2023/10/07/lessons-from-the-isle-of-joy-languages/ The project is here: kickstarter.com/projects/dragonstabber/isle-of-joy

18. Well, the Isle of Joy kickstarter's now going. It's going to be a gorgeous book. We had an absolute ball playtesting it earlier this year, and the players are still a little haunted by the place. If you'd like to visit the Isle, you know what to do: kickstarter.com/projects/dragonstabber/isle-of-joy/

19. Our latest translation is in this month's Clarkesworld, along with some other great stuff! clarkesworldmagazine.com/djuna_09_23/ (Why yes, I am behind. Why yes, being sick just before the semester started has me running behind in many ways... still excited about this, though!)

20. So exciting to see these glimpses! Leucoea's bees! The Monkey Queendom! That gorgeous cover! (And yes, "Jodorowsky's THE TEMPEST but an RPG" does somehow capture it.) t.co/006h4rgnTW

21. Something Tookish! is now out! It's a @BrindlewoodBay hack for playing out cozy mysteries in a bucolic halfling village. We had a ball playtesting this. Thanks to @jasoncordova6 for such an excellent ruleset. Link in next tweet.

23. It's been a busy month, but I finally caught up and listened to @ajosshi's discussion of our translation of Jeong Soyeon's "The Flowering" today, and enjoyed it a lot: podcasts.apple.com/kr/podcast/soyeon-jeong-the-flowering-%EC%A0%95%EC%86%8C%EC%97%B0-%EA%B0%9C%ED%99%94/id1571973727?i=1000608585349
