Setting up a kickstarter for a new venture requires that the wheels of bureaucracy keep turning.
Unfortunately those wheels are basically at standstill.
That's the gist of it.

Also re: the orcs.
Tolkien struggled with this so much that it's part of the reason he never released Silmarillion. He couldn't reconcile the notion of an entire race doomed to evil. But could not solve it within his worldbuilding, and it bothered him deeply. He wanted redemption possible for all.

The Nunlith origin story...

Very yes.

A family here in Norway actually got sentenced to jail time a few days ago for failing to fix their cat's broken leg.
Just. Horrific.

One less person in the world calling for folks like me to be eradicated is a pretty good thing, I would say.

That finger is furled...
