Tyrants of the Underdark på SMASHs 5-årskalas
På SMASHs 5-årskalas fick jag chansen att spela Wizards of the Coasts nya D&D-baserade brädspel Tyrants of the Underdark. Tematiskt utspelar det sig i Forgotten Realms Underdark som är hemvist för Drow-samhället, men som i ett annat av WotCs brädspel, Lords of Waterdeep1, känns temat inte direkt essentiellt för för spelet.

TotU är en deck-builder med en area-control-komponent i form av ett centralt bräde som representerar olika distrikt i Underdark - har man läst några av R.A. Salvatores Drizzt Do’Urden-böcker känner man igen platser som Menzoberranzan och Gauntlgrym.

Humble Book Bundle Sci-Fi Classics

Uppgifter
Träffar: 1933

Jag har pratat om Humble Bundle tidigare!

Deras senaste e-bokpaket innehåller för tillfället 18 science fiction- och fantasyböcker och som vanligt tillkommer det ett ännu okänt antal böcker halvvägs igenom kampanjen.

Roger Zelazny är välrepresenterad i paketet. Båda med ett antal av hans egna böcker och med hela John Gregory Betancourts The Dawn of Amber-serie, som är en prequel till Zelaznys Chronicles of Amber.

Jag har inte (ännu) läst Betancourts Dawn of Amber, men The Chronicles of Amber är mycket bra, så jag hoppas Betancourt kan göra serien rättvisa.

Även Alfred Bester har med ett antal böcker i paketet. Själv har jag bara läst The Stars My Destination, men ser fram emot att bekanta mig lite mer med hans andra verk.

Böckerna finns att ladda ned i PDF, ePUB och MOBI formaten, så har du tillgång till en dator, smartphone eller platta finns det alla möjligheter att tillgodogöra sig av verken.

Betalar du $1 eller mer blir du den stolta ägaren av följande titlar:

  • Damnation Alley - Roger Zelazny
  • Roger Zelazny's The Dawn of Amber - John Gregory Betancourt
  • Wild Cards: Deuces Down - George R.R. Martin (editor)
  • The Deceivers - Alfred Bester
  • Dragonworld - Byron Preiss
  • The Last Defender of Camelot - Roger Zelazny

Betalar du mer än genomsnittspriset (i skrivande stund $12,92) får du därutöver:

  • Robot Visions - Isaac Asimov
  • Roger Zelazny's Chaos and Amber - John Gregory Betancourt
  • Roger Zelazny's To Rule in Amber - John Gregory Betancourt
  • Wild Cards: Death Draws Five - George R.R. Martin (editor)
  • The Computer Connection - Alfred Bester
  • Eye of Cat - Roger Zelazny
  • The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth - Roger Zelazny

För $15 eller mer tillkommer dessa fem titlar:

  • The Stars My Destination - Alfred Bester
  • Robot Dreams - Isaac Asimov
  • Roger Zelazny's Shadows of Amber - John Gregory Betancourt
  • The Demolished Man - Alfred Bester
  • Arthur C. Clarke's Venus Prime 1 - Arthur C. Clarke, Paul Preuss

Utöver att bli mer beläst (ett värdigt mål, bara det), kan du också stödja ett antal välgörenhetsorganisationer. De tre som är i fokus med detta paket är: Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America The Givers Fund, Challenger Center for Space Science Education och Extra Life [Children's Miracle Network Hospitals].

Zano, en Kickstarter skräckhistoria

Uppgifter
Träffar: 2000

Kickstarter är ett fantastiskt sätt att upptäcka nya intressanta projekt och produkter.

Själv har jag sponsrat ett 60-tal projekt och med enstaka undantag har dessa kommit mål och levererat en färdig produkt i slutänden. Dock har de flesta projekten försenats, vissa någon månad och enskilda större projekt uppemot ett år.

Det är tyvärr inte alla projekt som lyckas komma i hamn. Vissa uppnår helt enkelt inte finansieringsmålen vilket betyder att ingen av de reserverade pengarna kommer att lämna sponsorernas konton eller kreditkort.
Andra projekt däremot uppnår målen med råge och riskerar då att bli offer för sin egen succés. Det är inte alla som förstår hur man skalar upp ett projekt från ett par hundra enheter till tio- eller kanske även hundratusentals enheter.

Ett projekt som gick snett är ZANO, ett ambitiöst projekt som siktade på att ge sponsorer en autonom drönare/quadcopter med kamera och avancerat mjukvara för delning av video och bilder på sociala nätverk. Med ett initialt finansieringsmål på £125 000 slutade det med att över 12 000 sponsorer donerade £2 335 119 (mer än 30 000 000 SEK) för att projektet skulle bli verklighet. I slutänden levererades 600 drönare varav många gick till personer som hade förbeställt via PayPal i stället för Kickstarter-sponsorerna. Och ingen av dessa 600 drönare fungerade ens tillnärmelsevis enligt beskrivningen i Kickstarter-kampanjen.

1001 Böcker

Uppgifter
Träffar: 18531

1001 Books: You Must Read Before You Die har ett något missvisande namn. Det verkar vara en bok primärt om romanens utveckling som konstform genom tiderna. Till exempel finns det inga av Shakespeares pjäser med, inga episka dikt som Gilgamesh, Iliaden eller Beowulf, och inga faktaböcker om man inte räknar böcker som In Cold Blood som är romantolkning av en verklig händelse. Sen är listan också viktat mot modernare böcker.

Jag kommer inte att göra det till ett livsmål att avsluta listan, men jag tycker att det kan vara ett bra sätt att supplera min nästan konstanta diet av sci-fi och fantasy.

Arukiyomi har ett Excel-ark (på engelska) som du kan ladda hem och använda till att markera vilka böcker du har läst, sen uppdateras arket automatisk med vilken procentdel du har läst och om du anger din ålder kan den uppskatta hur många böcker du måste läsa per år för att hinna med alla baserat på genomsnittlig livslängd för västerländska män och kvinnor.

Just nu har jag själv läst 111 av de 1001 böcker och om jag vill hinna med hela listan måste jag läsa 24 böcker från listan om året till jag blir 75.

Böcker som jag har läst är markerade i rött med fet stil och böcker jag läser just nu är markerade i grönt med fet stil, och om jag har skrivit en recension länkar jag till den efter titeln, alternativt kan det finnas en direktlänk till bokens sida på Amazon England.

Bok/böcker från listan som jag läser just nu:

Senast läste bok från listan: Candide av Voltaire
