Yeah, it's really only an issue if it bothers the original player. If you don't know if it would or not, and you have no way to ask, and they'll probably never find out, well... it's up to you to decide. I'd do it, but then, I can't imagine why it would bother anyone. If I found that it DID...

I'm not sure what to pick - I played a SINGLE SESSION of 1e in 1986, then I played a few years worth of only other games: TMNT, Rifts, Twilight 2000, Robotech, probably a few others, then when 2e came out (1989, right?) we switched to D&D for 90% of our games. I've played many others over the...

I'll let you know when I get this game started, sure. I also promise that I haven't given up on the old Group 2 and their journey to Howling Crag. I've just had some "round-roller's block" when it comes to it. I'm still psyching myself up to tackle it!

Yes, the first hour of a group long rest could be a short rest for Morgan.

It grew quite dark along the Trade Way as the sun went down. There was a cover of cloud, and the moons only occasionally shone through or brightened a patch of the sky. Isteval's old mule seemed to know the way, and didn't loose the road, but it became more difficult for the others the further...

I think that you've been generally pretty busy hiking around the city, avoiding undue notice. And I don't think that there was much delay before pushing south. So, no. I'm mixed when it comes to the length of a Short Rest. On the one hand, I think that the design of them being an hour is a...

The sun began to set over the Sea of Swords as the Daggerfordians made their way down the Trade Way. Isteval did not like the look of most of their camp options - rocky places, full of thistles, exposed to the wind and rain, with poor drainage. They'd walked for six or seven hours, with a few...

I know just the fellow! Hey, @Kobold Stew - if there is enough interest for AtG Group 1 here to continue with the Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl, do you want to make up a new character for it? My gut says Level 9. But all of that will be made plain when I get it organized "for real".

A runner was sent for Lord Faldur at Kulligan's Cairn, and after some interval, he arrived to take formal possession of the Steading. Laerthar gathered all of the remaining giants (there were very few) and cowed any who were resistant to the surrender. He spoke briefly with Lord Faldur and then...

In fact, it was supper-time, nearing six hours after noon. They had, at best, an hour and a half before dusk. The rocky, lightly grassed lands south of the Way Inn made for poor farmland, and it did not have any ideal places to make camp for the night. Not here, at least. Perhaps a league or two...

Interesting to know. I guess that I always assumed that Printers wouldn't want to be involved in that sort of thing , in general. I figured that when a company self-distributes, it would have to do all the work that a distributor does. Sounds like sometimes, some of it can be done between the...

Huh. I had no idea that was a thing.

I was thinking of shipping at the stage of where you get them from your printer to your fulfilment centre or warehouse. You don't send them out directly from the printer, do you? That's an interesting aside, I agree. While there's a crossover on the Venn diagram of people that like both...

It's interesting to know that that is still the case. I suppose that shipping and warehousing physical copies is then one of the bigger costs of physical books - that and giving the distributors and retailers their cut, which you don't have to do with digital.

As a retailer of these things, I don't think that the quality is as much of the problem as the price. They have steadily increased far beyond inflation. You just don't get a good ratio of quality to price anymore. I hope this embarrasses WizKids enough that they try a little harder going forward.
