It’s the final few days of the Bluminarmour Project! After some issues with Kickstarter let’s see how far we can get!

If you want to see fantasy tropes, historical movement and silly tricks tested in authentic full plate armour, please consider chucking a few quid over (or like and share this post):

The Bluminarmour Project

Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.

Update on this:

Kickstarter removed my highest funding tier so I lost £11k of funding since earlier today.

BUT

I’ve managed to get the deadline extended in light of this. So this might still happen!

We’re into the last week now! This is close enough that I think this could actually happen, but it’s still got a way to go!

If this is something that interests you, please consider donating or sharing!

Who wouldn’t want to see Blumineck do all sorts of gyrations in a full set of armor! Let’s get this over the line!

Pitches, Bitc-…

(Let’s keep this PG) PitchFest. What is everything a “fest” now? Well, yeah. At least at ThrillerFest it is. And I’m here for it. Thursday May 7th, for three hours in the afternoon, I was there for it at least. This is my first writer’s conference, and therefore my first time at the compendium of fests. PitchFest is simply that. But more. It’s well-organized opportunity for writers of all levels…

Progress so far (ThrillerFest that is)

How to write.

Quotes Well, you’d think the answer is pen and paper. Or more likely computer and keyboard. And yeah, that’s basically true. It’s what I’m doing at the moment. And yet there’s more. Perhaps it’s the question to question then. Maybe there should be more to the sentence. Maybe, just maybe, one should add: “well”; “a book”; Or to make the question obviously answerable, “good”. I have written.…

Some things last

In a follow up to an addendum on a previous post’s miscellaneous closing section… And without further ado… In conclusion. Sitting in the airport waiting for my flight and listening to the playlist in the bar. An 80s song came on, Centerfold, and a young-ish person started bopping to it. It is all about the vibe. and the vibe is good. See y’all on the flip side. Peace and love Marv

Goin’ to California…

With an aching in my legs! I’m in San Jose California for the Serena (IMDB) premier at the Cinequest film festival. I’m really excited to see this movie. Not to name drop, but I’m friends with the screenwriters. What’s up with my legs? It seems that PG&E had some maintenance to do at my hotel this morning and the elevators were turned off. My room is on the eighth floor. The movie … was…

“We are here now, deep into dangerous Mad King/Bond Villain territory. 2026 is no longer about affordability or restoring the ACA subsidies. It is about pro-democracy movement somehow coming together and forming a unified and far more powerful front against his dangerous Imperial and dictatorial designs. In an ideal world, what we would see next week is a public statement signed by all Dem Governors, AGs, Senate and House Democrats that states clearly that Rule of law must be re-established in America, ICE must be reined in, and Trump’s outrageous plunder and corruption must end That he must back off his illegal and destructive territorial ambitions, end all these ridiculous tariffs, and re-commit to the Trans-Atlantic Alliance Stake in ground. Unified voice. Muscular defense of liberty, democracy, and the American creed. Yes, it is time now for something akin to our Letter to America, and for our leaders to make clear, before it is too late, that we are willing to come together and fight for America, freedom, and democracy; and for us to start listing, clearly, his modern day “injuries,” “abuses,” and “usurpations.” That we elected an American President and not a dictator, and it is way past fucking time he start acting like one.”
