Ugh. I feel your pain. We had 900+ pages of material for the first Battlelords book and 448 pages to work with. Eventually we ended up with 556 pages of content.

Look who stopped by our Gen Con booth this year! The one, the only @bdavewalters.bsky.social! He never stops moving or running games (you should play in one of his games!) so we were thrilled when he found time to stop by and say, “Hi!” Also, he has the best taste in t-shirts.

We had a fun chat with a couple of the folks from @battlelords.bsky.social about their Ennie-Nominated Monster Supplement for Savage Worlds & Battlelords.
It’s simultaneously humorous & gorgeous.
