I guess I won Daggerheart today then.

Going to the Compleat Strategist was one of the highlights of my first trip to NYC (1989?)
I really liked the setting, aesthetic, and vibe of Fallen 1E, but had some issues with the mechanics (just personal preference stuff). I say make the game that you want to, and don't worry about backwards comaptibility.
Looking forward to the full game! I'm starting my game using the quickstart rules with my weekly crew tonight!

On twitter (with only 3x the followers) I got 568 retweets ... here we're in the 20s!
Don't let them win ๐
Also ... good odds!
I know MB can handle a campaign since I ran a full campaign, until doomsday.
Slow-paced, simulationist, detailed, random to the point that a traditional "story" rarely emerges. Basically OSR, I guess.
We truly live in a golden age of TTRPGs.
I grew potatoes for the first time last year and they were great.
Glad you enjoyed Outgunned!
Incredible table!
Hi Scott! Do you know where t get a print copy of the T&T quickstart that appears in this video?
The list of games my in-person TTRPG crew will pick from tonight for our next campaign:
Warhammer: The Old World
Legend in the Mist
Fabula Ultima
Cloud Empress
Twilight Sword
Electrum Archive
I think that's a pretty good spread of genres/styles/settings.
Done! Marketing worked :)
They Might be Giants
I sold Leaf comic books that year.
God, I love this man.
I realized on our drive back that this house was also the Dungeon Hobby Shop, where my parents ordered my very first RPG (Empire of the Petal Throne) from in November of 1976. My nearly 50 year journey into RPGs was launched from this same house.
A 2 story house in Lake Geneva Wisconsin which was once the headquarters of TSR, publishers of D&D, and is now a lovely cheese shop.
We were cheese shopping and chatting with the nice lady who owned the shop, when Roger said that were in town for GaryCon. She said, "Oh, did you know that this house used to be TSR headquarters?" We were flabbergasted. The cheese shop we had randomly walked into was the Old Gray House.
On Sunday, after an amazing con, we finished our morning games and went looking for a cheese shop I had found online to buy cheese for friends at home (as you do in Wisconsin). We ran across a different cheese shop (yes, there are many), and decided to drop check it out.
Weird GaryCon story. My friend Roger and I listened to the "When we were Wizards podcast on our 12 hour drive from Alabama up to Lake Geneva (if you are a TTRPG nerd, well worth a listen). They talk about the first TSR offices outside Gary's house, calling it the "Old Gray House".

Great write-up! It was my first GaryCon, and I had an amazing time. Loved being able to be there for the live B2C taping.
Love this!
I'll be heading out from Alabama. Excited to see everyone there!
Stunning!
Pledged! I've never played T&T before, but hope to rectify that with this new edition. I like the mechanical changes you've made, and the books look amazing!
When we started our hobby farm 4 years ago, someone told me "If you have livestock, you have dead stock". I find that our chickens in particular seem to just drop dead for no apparent reason (although we have lost some to predators while free ranging).
