Honestly L4W and LEB seem pretty much dead at this point. One of the games that is finishing up is planning to continue playing the the same characters, but not connected to L4W any longer. I suspect that once my other adventure I'm playing in is over, that character will be effectively retired.
Yes, he is. But has lots of experience - although as you can see, he prefers his own settings and devices. He would probably get into fight with the judges if there were any
Anyhow, enjoy the game while it lasts.
I've stopped checking the enworld board entirely at this point. But hey, L4W was a lot of fun while it lasted. Jax will always be one of my favorite PCs, hehe.
