So, I'm going to a con next month (SoonerCon), with Erica Mendez as one of the main guests that I'm looking to get autographs from. The two main characters that I'm wanting autographed prints for are Yuuki from SAO and Megumin from Konosuba. Given the popularity of those franchises and characters, I'm optimistic that she'll have character prints available to sign, but I've been burned a few times before where I assumed a guest would have a certain character print only for them to not have one for signing; since the event is still a month away, I have time to find a print and order it in if need be, but I wanted to check to see if anyone else has met Erica at a con and could give a rundown on what character prints she generally has available. Thanks!

Does anyone know of any fan stories out there where the author has written an original Illya centered route? She really deserves a story focused on her where she can have some objective happiness. I’m sure I could search to see what I can find, but I thought I’d check for recommendations here first!

Looking on TCGPlayer, the Blood Brothers deck is the most expensive Precon at more than $50, with all of the other decks being available for less than MSRP. But, it seems like the Aggressive Negotiations list is the one with the most value, having some good reprints including Poe, plus at least 3 new cards that together are almost in excess of MSRP with jendirian valley, Yoda, and Obi wan. Is there some reason for this that I’m missing? It seems really odd that the prices look so off at the moment.

I recently picked up stellaris as I have a good pc now and one of my friends really loves the game. I also am loving the aesthetics and style of the game, but I’m struggling with the plethora of different items to manage, and with how certain details work. In particular, I’m struggling with the military side of the game. I’ve played a decent amount into my first game, but I’m still limited to corvettes and it seems like I can’t have more than five in any of my fleets. I constructed three fleets of five corvettes at each of my bottleneck systems, and have a neighbor who has been hostile since I first encountered them. My intel said they’re inferior overall, so I decided to declare war and invade. The first fight seemed to be going fine…then they suddenly arrived with a 700 some odd power fleet (mine were stuck in around 276) and my fleet got wiped out.

I’m certainly glad that I saved before declaring war, but I’m confused as to how the AI can have a fleet so large while I’m apparently restricted despite regularly researching towards fleet improvement techs. As a previous Civ player, I’m used to at least having a basic idea of how I could stack up against other factions, but here I feel like I’m flying blind.
