Status Reporting

Are you a regular visitor to this site, but not any of the other places where Kickers of Elves content appears? Are you sad and confused by the lack of updates? Well hey, we haven’t gone anywhere!

Wade, James and Hugh have been keeping track of Hell World and life in the time of Corona over at the Kickers of Elves Patreon

give us money!

The Rules of Acquisition has been irregularly posting “The RoA Remix” to all the regular places that RSS feed shows up.

and get ready for more Trek content soon over at Can’t Picardly Disco Home or whatever it is we’re calling that this week.

Catching Up with KoE

A month and no updates? What is going on? If you’re a patron or follow us at other places you know we haven’t been completely silent. And if you only check the website… really? Oh wow. Oh, and Wade celebrated the birth of his firstborn son. So that kept him busy.
If you’re subscribed to the Rules of Acquisition you’ve probably noticed the “ROA Remix” episodes we’ve been putting out. A lot has changed since we started re-watching Deep Space Nine in 2015. Each week another Kicker is listening to an episode of the ROA and commenting on how naive we were, and how cheap the microphones we had back then. Most recently this week Wade listened to the early Season 1 episode “Babel”

On the Patreon, we’ve been very into Righteous Gemstones. Plus we had a patron hangout on the question “Does Spock Suck?” Hear some of James and Hugh’s thoughts on both here

give us money!

But that’s not all we’ve been up to. We’ve been hard at work preparing for the next season of the Hashish and Superiority Book Club. We’ve been dragging out the reveal of what our next book much longer than likely necessary. Promise there will be a big update on that soon!
