James McGowan Reader Group- Tales from LitCon
| Hi, all. This past weekend I virtually attended LitCon. It was a gathering of indie authors that had several interesting panels, and break out discussions. I attended a world building panel moderated by AF Stewart where we talked about social structures, classes, and other fun stuff. CL Gaber was also part of the discussion, which was a treat. I also chatted with several other very engaging authors like Richard White, Joe Compton, and Karina Kantas. It was an invigorating experience. Lots of the panel content and discussions are posted on the LitCon Facebook Page. Feel free to give them a watch. |

| Mandalorian Season 2. I’m current up through episode 4. This is the best Star Wars iteration of the Disney Era. Hands down. They do a fantastic job with the western in space vibe. I loved seeing Timothy Oliphant in it. And Baby Yoda (aka The Child) remains very cute and continues to eat all kinds of… well, basically anything that moves that is smaller than him. I gotta wonder if the Yoda race is some kind of group of apex predators. The effects are also very close to movie quality. I enjoy it. Interrogation. This is a game on Steam. It’s a visual novel that takes place in a city that’s under threat from a domestic terrorist organization. You play a cop who’s the head of the task force that’s trying to stop them from blowing up buildings. The writing is very tight, and you get in some very morally grey situations in your drive to try to zero in on the terrorists. A compelling game for those who liked Choose Your Own Adventure novels back in the late 20th century. |
| That’s all for this time. Stay smart. Stay safe. Jim |
