Well... I'm not going to say any dictionary is wrong. But the Cambridge Dictionary doesn't list that usage, and the example given on dictionary.com is pretty iffy - if I had been reading the sentence "The convicted sinner feels his danger and his need of forgiveness, and is moved to prayer"...

I don't think that sense of "conviction" has a verb form.

I haven't backed Invincible, so I don't have access to the beta. I would just like to add that I've always been frustrated by Year Zero statblocks in other games, because - A) They don't tell you which skill belongs to which attribute, they just expect you to memorize that. B) They don't give...

The Laundry 2e is now expected to ship to backers in January 2026. General release can't be too long after that.

13th Age 2e has slipped into 2026. Kickstarter backers have started to receive it recently, but I doubt those of us outside the US will see it before the end of the year, and it certainly won't be in general release until next year.
