Who could ever suspect such an innocent soul of any wrongdoing? :)

Find some stuff that came out when you were a kid that you never had the chance to read. You get that feeling like stepping back in time for a little while, and you get some neat gifts for younger relatives when you are done. :)

Sorry. Just trying to help in a way. Hard to convey intentions through text sometimes. I do hope you have good luck.

Good call. That's the sort of problem you never want to encounter. Though I would be tempted to bring it to a mechanic with a comically large clock attached to a regular belt, just to see their reaction. Amelia Bedelia type shenanigans.

There are a lot of cars in our city lot with questionable DIY repairs. One guy has a set of bungie cables lashing his front bumper and light up into place, hooked up under the hood somewhere. What I'm saying is, you could save money with terrible repair ideas. Duct tape windows. Not just the glass.

There are loads of big systems and cool indie systems to try out (I am sure you have seen plenty). Most discussions group them by tone, complexity, and preference for abstraction vs specific rulings. Hope you find one that fits. :)

Nice! Always good to find another cool new dino. Taking a little artistic license, the next gen of Pokémon could have a prehistoric porcupine. Jurassic Shaymin.
Clodsire is one of their best designs in a while. Floats, pillows, beanbag chairs - the possibilities are endless and soft.

What dinosaur did you use as the base model for the big guy? Also, there needs to be a Clodsire pool float, but alas I worry that everyone would fight to claim it.

Sorry to hear that. Good luck to you guys.

Oh yeah it is not made for artwork. ha. You are lucky if things load properly and do not turn into word spaghetti. I have a landscape image in one of my books not quite where I wanted it because I cannot find out how to remove it without tying the entire chapter into knots.

Old school word docs. All the new "suggestions and improvement" features everywhere drive me nuts. I do not want those features and I will actively pursue other products/services that let me simply write. That other comment about pencil and paper sounds like a better option than anything new.

I remember the old RP groups for mostly dark fan AUs of anime and videogames with cool art. You can kind of get that experience from one-shot adventures or home settings for RPGs if you want to scratch the itch without going all the way. If you find one such group (or make one), let people know.

Finding old family pieces like that is a treasure. Sadly a lot of them do end up getting stored and forgotten in some room for a few decades.

That reminds me, you need to think about what to do when you send Niko off to college in a few years.

I know for a lot of folks it just comes down to what you can actually finish. Big RPGs are great experiences, but you can only have so many in a timespan before it is too much.

The algorithm is a fickle beast. Attitudes toward D&D are basically reversed on the RPGs sub-reddit. You could see what they want, but they also repeat themselves a lot. Trading one audience for another basically, assuming they are on youtube.

Congrats on getting so many of these done. They have lovely colors and fun ideas. Cheers!

We might have just the thing for you! We are testing for our next book and the setting is moderately cozy. If you want to check out what we have so far, I'd love to share. That is open to everyone. :)
I like the laidback presentation of your reviews. Plus I get to find new games from the community.

This differs from the test we held a few months ago to gather feedback. The test scenarios are each designed to quickly teach you the game and should only take a few minutes. You can run them without a GM or have a friend take up the mantle. Bear in mind terms/balancing/etc are a work in progress.

Agreed! The perspective and clothing are really difficult in those poses to make it look natural. :)

I also want to thank our backers on Kickstarter, our players, and everyone who picks up a copy of our books. Thank you for your support. Seeing someone read and enjoy something I worked on is a wonderful feeling. :)

Well said. I am one of the oddballs who liked history essay tests in college. It gave me an opportunity to put together everything in context like a narrative, which in itself gives you a better understanding of what you learned. It's like an "Aha!" moment. I want this generation to enjoy learning.
