Paper all the way. There's always something not right with online sheets, and if it auto levels any house rules are out the window.

Not C&C, but TLG related.

Before I received this email, I actually considered working up an adventure for GC to run, using Amazing Adventures. Outside of fantasy and horror, pulp adventure is probably my next favorite genre. Having picked up the three core books for a steal a while back, I'm actually pretty thrilled to see that TLG will be putting out an upgraded version akin to the new C&C books.

Got his email the other day:
This is an RPG of science, sorcery, pugilistic pummeling, gun-toting, sword-wielding, B17-flying, gadget carrying adventure!

This Fall you'll see the Amazing Adventures multi-genre role playing game come to a crowdfunding platform near you! The system is being overhauled, with new FULL COLOR books, a Players Handbook, GM Guide and a Monster Book.

Haven't played AA. I'll have to give it a try some day.

Ugh, this sort of thing is not only seeping into, but being actively promoted by, TLG now...I really hope Steve and Co. don't delve down that road.

I don't get why people feel the need to play dress up to play a RPG.

Hey man to each their own. They're welcome at my table at least once. If they can actually play the role of the character I don't care if they want to embrace the theatrics of costume too. However, if they can't play the role, or don't know how to shower they can just keep moving along. :)

The cover for TLG's upcoming, revised Amazing Adventures PHB cover. I'll be getting this to add to the collection. May have to brainstorm some good, old fashion pulp-adventure goodness for the next round of GaryCon.

That was posted on FB yesterday and said 3 days, so I reckon in 2 days.

Long video from 3 years back, but has Steve and Tim discussing the World of Aihrde in detail. Good background video to listen to while working. Good stuff, love to hear Steve talk about the history and making of the setting. Really gets you sucked in and wanting to sling dice.
