Media News Monday - Ant-Man Teaser, Ursula Le Guin, & Penny Dreadful
After a bit of a false start last week where Marvel released a super tiny teaser trailer for Ant-Man, they finally came across with one that can be more easily viewed. Enjoy.
Also, from last November, Ursula Le Guin accepted the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters at the 65th National Book Awards. Enjoy.
Finally, with Penny Dreadful returning in 2015, it might be worthwhile getting a look at this fresh take on the many horror movie monsters mashed up into a tight little television series. Find out more about it here.

Saturday Crowdfunding Roundup - Lancaster Big Box, Aviary Attorney, & Athena's Daughters 2
Just a few Kickstarters to mention in their final week or so. All are solidly in the funded category. So, take a peek, see if they strike you and check if the rewards make jumping in a good plan. First, Lancaster Big Box by Queen Games is actually in its final hours and funded nine times over. It's meant to be a fresh printing of the game and all the expansions in one big box for an already popular game. See more here.
Aviary Attorney by Sketchy Logic looks like a bizarre but fun roleplaying game with a mystery theme. Have a look here.
Finally, almost two weeks left on Athena's Daughters, Volume 2 by Silence in the Library Publishing. It's a collection of "short speculative fiction by some of the industry's up-and-coming women authors" here.
