US Government says no to 3D Gun Designs
In a not so surprising move the US Government has sent a latter to Defence Distributed suggesting that publishing the plans was in violation of arms control regulations.

Indecision….
I’m doing it again, I had a conversation with a friend today about magic systems and had just about decided to restart my NaNo project Dragon Lords. Then I read an excerpt from an upcoming book from a favourite author, this made me pick up my NaNo book 13th Earth – Before the Dawn, reading…
