Why put nasty hairy little men in a setting when you can have ducks? It doesn't make any sense.

Publisher is already so close to being all-in-one app, would make a lot on sense.

Almost Home - this month’s riso print to ring in the fall.

Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost “home” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little

This is my *favorite* thing from the GLoG:

> Roleplaying If you don't understand that bootless goblins are susceptible to intimidation, and proud dwarven kings are not, you are bad at this game. Common sense negotiations are one of the skills that this game tests.

Roleplaying
You don't have to talk in a funny voice, but you do have to tell the DM what you are saying to the NPC and how. It's not a division between player skill and character skill. If you don't understand that bootless goblins are susceptible to intimidation and proud dwarven kings are not, you are bad at this game.

I spent the last month driving (sailing?) myself mad drawing these diagrams. But they're finally done! Phew! Thank god I'll never have to draw another ship again. What's that, Jim? We accidentally wrote an entire book about ships? FUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUuuuu

Four semi-isometric diagrams of an 18th-century sail-ship, each showing a different deck. It looks to be in a bit of distress: its masts have been shattered; an enormous crane arm has plunged into it, piercing multiple decks; and a large hole is rapidly filling the cargo hold with water.
