Good on them for finding enough of a market to fund. I watched the Kickstarter video and thought the large electronic box with a 2d image looked out of place next to the other D&D minis. It doesn’t look anything like a mini to me. It’s more like someone put a mini-TV on the battle mat. If...

Jennell was truly a giant of the early RPG genre. Their contributions across writing, game development and art were huge.

Yep, if the pandemic and other events in the US has taught me anything, it’s that people will happily maintain their beliefs, even when shown a mountain of evidence that disproves those beliefs.

Yeah, that was the only Pengu I knew of!
