It's nice to read the organizers desire to have their event be a welcoming space. It doesn't surprise me that it being the US, folks got to be themselves for a few days with stuff they enjoy; there are enough challenges and difficulties every day at present. I appreciated the time it took to...

I've found I gravitate towards secondary characters and it strangely doesn't matter what medium: books, television series, anime, movies, video games, etc. I find them more intriguing? We've been blessed with a lot of excellent writers, and actors who've made a "smaller" role so much beyond...

The Dolmenwood trio & practically everything from Free League is very well-made. Dolmenwood is also something I am looking at as well.

Greatly appreciate the time to provide this for everyone; I def. plan on listening/reading to the two broadcasts when they're available.

I have the current AF books; it sounds like there is a bit being put into the revised books, but it is also nice that there is a pdf with only changes as well. 2026 is far enough ahead, I may have a better sense of what my table's leanings are by then.

Separately, someone is quite the Star Trek/rpg related fan. Also a very well-used GURPS book!

Perused photographs, eye zoomed to Larry Hagman in a hat (tm).

Most traps in uninhabited dungeons and ruins that have existed for centuries, if not millennia. (Also most traps in inhabited dungeons too. Imagine the cleaning costs every week!)

Choosing to use or wear equipment that fits means you take on the possibility of losing it due to a mishap or a rust monster.

This is completely FINE, and not unwelcome at all. I've had lots of fun as a player at a table that has more or less portrayal, sometimes in the middle of the same session (after a break, for example)!

I lean this way also. Most of this is mentioned in public or oral speaking, and it isn't necessary to be theater trained to use above with great effectiveness at the table. Take a minute or two privately to try. Listen to monologues, sermons or speeches from different people. Try recording...

I'd mention that theatrical productions of fantasy stories happen with more frequency, and most, if not nearly all, place their performance in spaces that examine or push against the romanticized elements of the original work; this goes beyond setting the time period to a less distant time...

When I read the Banneret, I thought immediately of the draft Paladin class proposed for Shadowdark. Why has the Paladin migrated away from this concept? As described, this is a character I would want to adventure with! >.<

-Family Feud meme here-

I'm behind with some of these announcements so I apologize if this was clear. Wasn't there supposed to be a recent Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay game due out soon that used Cubical's C7 d6 system? Is this WHFP, but a different time period? I'm rather confused.
