Putting this out there: I'm looking to meet hot shit game programmers who have shipped and are tired of the soup du jour of the industry. Let me know if you'd like to talk!

Magic using classes usually have more decisions to make and stuff to keep track of than, say, your classic fighter at lvl 1. In addition to items, you have to pick out spells.

If you haven't played a trrpg before, during play don't be afraid to ask questions and say what you want to happen!

I always thought Rhode Island was cool BECAUSE it was the smallest. Also because it was easy to remember as a kid for memorizing the states, hah.

Hmm... You know, after getting to work with some of the folks we did on Claire a la Mode, there's not a whole lot left on my "Game Developer Bucket List". I guess "Make a Successful Game" is still unchecked? Ah well, we'll see what happens with that.

It may be that those kinds of friendships are unfamiliar to people in general, so instead, those sorts of stories are written about romance. People often think of that friendship that way as well, and "best friend" archetypes in modern media (for decades) often lampshade that implication as well.

A comic:
1. Panel: Wide shot of a medieval looking building "Good day sir, we have slain the beast" someone says from the inside.
2. Panel: close up of a knights hand slaming a big reptilian head on the table with a clerk in the backgroung sitting at a desk behind a book, looking unamused at it.
3. Panel: clerk gets back to his writing and says: ah, you must be those two new guild members, excelent job!
4. Panel: frogmouth knight says "yes yes, now pay up" while gesturing with a hand. Houndskull knight is in the background sitting on a bench, pretty beat up from the beast they slain before.
5. panel: closeup of clerk hand holding shiny coins and frogmouth knight hand reaching out. Clerk says "here's your share from the contract"
6. Panel: he drops the two coins in frogmouths hand saying "keep up the good work"
