Well they are being shipped out on Monday, so any day now is a lot closer than we think!

How is the zebra holding the gun?

Being an artist is a power that few can be trusted with

Wow!

So while I still wish this case would’ve gone to trial, and believe the amount given per work should have been EVEN higher, $1.5 billion in settlement AND the destruction of infringing datasets is still a fantastic start! Congratulations to all those involved as these things are not easy!

May we all find wives who will laugh at butt jokes out of nowhere.

Exactly! Not to mention, backgrounds are so much better than having to go through a book to look up the skills you need to assign.

Yeah same boat. Not to say 5E is a bad game - I mean, it was good enough that advantage/disadvantage has become widespread in F20 games - but I just feel like 13th Age did it all better.

Plus, backgrounds. Backgrounds will make every game better.

Yeah, I was surprised how much I loved 13A because I took one look at both 3e and 4e and said, "I'll stick with World of Darkness / Warhammer Roleplay 3e". 13A was the first F20 that I actually wanted to play.

What I really liked about 13A was how streamlined the combat was - monsters are wicked easy to map out, distances are very broad, theater of the mind over grid maps. Backgrounds are the best thing that RPGs have ever ignored. Icons as published were meh, but lots of ways to homebrew improvements.

I also went all in on the 2E Kickstarter - gotmyself a regular edition, collectors and the art book.

The thing I find funny about my love for 13th Age is that I am not good at imrpov AT ALL - my notes tend to be 3k words. Tons of exposition, multiple preplanned paths that lead from a to z, etc.

I know all about 13th Age, since I've been playing it ever since it got published. Demon Lord and Draw Steel seems like it goes in the exact opposite direction. What do you like about them?

I have never even heard of the Scarred Lands, but I am also a perpetual make my own setting GM.

I always considered it more of the "I have never rolled a d20 in my life but by God do I love big numbers" class.

13A has been my F20 game of choice ever since the 1E came out, and I do not agree with that at all. I always pitched it as D&D where combat is fast and fun, without the tactical bullshit. It emphasizes theater of the mind - that is the exact *opposite* of tactical play!

Okay. I need someone to explain how on earth 13th Age is in the same conversation as Lancer and Pathfinder, because I would consider 13th Age the exact opposite of these kinds of games. I mean Lancer has so much crunch it should have partnered with a Crunch bar for its marketing!

Wait, that's me and my dumb ass question. Am I famous now?

Go buy 13th Age 2E! It's D&D that is actually fun! The rules are wicked easy! And it only takes a minute to come up with a monster! And you get a huge ass D6 that gives everyone damage every round! What more do you want?

Yeah but said enemy has 0 poise and 10 hp. It's not as diabolical as you make it sound

They weren't my first RPG.

That would be Mage: The Awakening.

Oh man, that was my first fantasy RPG. I loved all the physical bits. Half the reason I am interested in Daggerheart is because of the cards.

I think it's The Gap. Could be wrong

Ugh, I could not disagree more
Andoe S2 was not bad by any means, but it was far too contemporary. Star Wars music should only have one mood: operatic.

What Andor really gets right is that you don't actually have to have ever given a damn about the SW universe to get into it

Its like FFXVI in that the English cast IS the intended cast. The French is the dub.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Can't let a thread go past without me posting some of my babies.

I need to stop posting on the Blue Nazi site. I'm looking for people to follow!

I love #asoiaf, I paint #miniatures for d&d, and I am a fantasy writer hoping to get my first book published. You might know me from A Song for Dragons, which back in the day was a HUGE ASOIAF fic.

Dear 75-year-old Democrats, please put her in charge.

An image of the faces of The Ancestor from Darkest Dungeon, and The Academic from Darkest Dungeon II. A torch glows between their two faces. The images reads: "Ancestor, Academic, Artist & friend. Wayne June. Twelve years ago, Tyler and I reached out to Wayne, humbly asking him to narrate our indie game’s trailer. Since those magical moments when we first paired his reading with the footage, it has been an incredible and fulfilling collaboration. Wayne’s singular baritone and masterful cadence elevated everything he read. He was a consummate professional, and his love of his craft was an inspiration. His inimitable work is woven into the very fabric of our industry in a way that cannot be forgotten. It is one of my life’s greatest honors to have written for him this past decade. Though I never got to shake his hand, I knew him to be a friend. Thank you, Wayne. -Chris Bourassa, for Tyler Sigman and the Red Hook team"

"Go with grace into the great beyond..."

We at Red Hook are heartbroken to confirm the passing of our beloved voice actor, Wayne June.
