Navigating space is not just the job of a pilot or an astrogator. Space is a matter of scale. It is navigated socially, it is traveled quickly, and often it involves commuter rail.

Final Warning! 48 hours remain!

As I write, automated reminder emails are being sent to everyone who hit the "remind me later" button on the Kickstarter campaign for The Disappearances of Lydia Fountayne. What will they find? A fully funded campaign! That's right, we now have the necessary funding to make an additional 7 episodes for a full 8-part season.

But we're already knocking on the door of our first stretch goal to make that a 9-part season. With your continuing support we can reach even beyond that in these last two days. Our story is a mystery, it's character based, and there's a secret world to explore. All of those things benefit from a little extra room in the run, a little more time to sit and experience and take the side roads. That's what is so exciting to me about hitting the stretch goals and lengthening our series.

So again I implore you: take a listen to the show, take a look at the KS page. And please, share this with anyone you think might be interested. Let's make this show the best it can be, together.

Izer Munn secrets within!

Grant's Recent guest spot roundup!

The first four guest spots I’ve done to spread the word about The Disappearances of Lydia Fountayne have come out. (First five technically, but that one will kick off the second roundup). Let's take a look!

Do You Remember Robotech Episode 33: [A Rainy Night]'s Knight For A [Rainy Night] Plight We compare the 33rd episodes of SFD Macross and Robotech, and find a lot to say about how slight differences lead to large divergences. Also, my fullest retelling of the saga of Pie Girl.

Lightning Strikes Thrice: Radio Manga: Ghost in the Shell We talk about one of the best examples of a “guy explains the cool thing he read to you” book, with a mix of fantastic art, action, and ideas that never manage to gel into something that meets its potential. That's what the adaptations are for, I guess.

Flash in the Pan Episode 110: A Soupçon Of Hitler Flash videos! Star Wars! Branded content and CGI Dragon strangling educational media! What is the difference between making a fan video out of love and making one out of mockery?

Out This Guy ep 46 - Big Chest Exposed Knees This one is a treat for 6FU listeners, and hopefully entices a few people to become listeners. I'm talking about the big blue boy: Izer Munn. He's grumpy, he's got skeletons in his closet, and he's bad at emotions. But doggone it he's there for his crew. And for those listeners in the know, there are some previews of coming attractions in Izer's yet-to-be-posted future adventures.

These, and those to come, have been so much fun to make. But please remember, this whole tour is in service of spreading the word about The Disappearances of Lydia Fountayne and its currently live Kickstarter to make a full season. Give it a listen! Spread the links! And please, add your pledge so we can deliver on what the premiere episode promised.

Lydia Ryan never knew her mother's family. But when she returns to her childhood home to find it ransacked, her parents gone, and a book that shouldn't exist waiting for her, Lydia's insatiable curiosity leads her into a world of mystery, paranoia, and danger.

Presented through found-footage style surveillance recordings and the voluntary panopticon of social media in an interconnected near-future world, Disappearances of Lydia Fountayne follows the bookish teenager and her friends - lovelorn Ethan and wannabe internet sensation Dee - as they try to discover the secrets of Lydia's identity before they are consumed by the decades-long feud for control of her grandfather's supernatural dominions.

The full season of DoLF is Kickstarting this month, RIGHT HERE, and pledging will get you fun rewards like tote bags, early episode access, and Suspicious Envelopes. You can also watch/listen to a fancy visualizer version of the pilot on Moonshot's YouTube channel!

The six are no longer mere survivors. They are a crew. And a crew must mend both their means of travel and their own bonds. But there is little time to resupply and breathe: a certain bounty hunter has finally cornered them.

Very few criminals, mercenaries, smugglers, or bounty hunters are team players. But they usually have the sense to respect when a situation could get much worse without cooperation. The exceptions are bound to surprise.

More on the philosophy of the Benja-Rihn Guides

Spoilers for RENEGADE SCUM 10: Branches

The latest episode shares more about the Force tradition Izer Munn came from, and I’d like to expand on them even more here. The Guides do not believe in fate, destiny, or predestination. Their conception of the Force puts people in difficult situations and asks them what action they will take. It is a comforting belief that any wonderful thing could come to pass with only the right effort. It is less comforting in dark times than faith in a redemption promised.

For the Guides it is sacred to help people in those difficult moments. To show an unnoticed option, to help someone make a choice without fear, to assist them through the difficult path beyond, these are why they choose the title Guide. Personal responsibility is important to everyone, but what sets a Guide apart is a duty to support others in that difficult work.

It is profane to remove choice. The essence of violence is limiting choice. This is the part of his teachings Izer summarized to Grace as “no prisons”.

Izer is, in a professional capacity, a violent person. There are times he believes he is simply providing consequences. Every path ends somewhere. There are times he believes he is ultimately spreading evil, and hopes he can be redeemed in the balance. He always wishes there were other Guides left to discourse with.

The last years have left him with a choice. He can hold the burden of knowing that ultimately he is at fault for the near-extinction of his tradition. Or, he can absolve himself by laying those events at destiny’s feet, which would mean the Guides have truly died out.

Join us in this unique 2d20 based system, as we discuss absolutely nothing about how it works in this introductory episode. The rules system may change, but war... war never changes.

Deep in the Hollow Ring Station, surrounded by chaos of their own creation, the crew makes their separate ways back to the safety of The Cloud of Unknowing. But freeing every prisoner from the station carries the risk of letting something even more dangerous back out into the Galaxy.

Upon the Hollow Ring Station, the crew and their allies begin the operation in earnest. A cleansing wave flushes out the orbital crime against decency, but friend and foe alike can drown.
