Matt has been pushing them hard. They got lucky on the risk it all rolls. I'm no longer watching but from internet chatter, I believe...

I don't usually do pick up games, but at this point I think I'd try Shadowdark. I've never run it, but I've played and it seems very...

It takes a little practice to get the flow moving but it's worth it. If you have a pile of fear but players are struggling and combat is...

Yeah, I was just being silly. Most grandmas wouldn't know what to get gamers. Hope you get your Jetfire toy!

I am a backer and this attitude is frankly bizarre to me. I'm getting exactly what I was promised when I backed, which is not really...
