    Fantastic cover art by Claudio Pozas

    Looks to me like they're PCs -- RHC constables. That's a balcony, and the railing has blood on it, so I bet it's the Danoran embassy. IIRC, RangerWickett ran the first few adventures, and his party has a pixie in it, so maybe it's PCs from his game.

    Okay, that cover is badass.

    People seem to be intrigued by the MAP. Perhaps it could be incorporated into the secret poll? :D Pyre + Panarchists is still not a straight-up majority, but if MAP is a separate option, the Pyre, Panarchist, and Arboretum members who can accept the MAP's tradeoffs can vote for it directly. I...

    I believe it's the end of the Kickstarter, which is in 5 days.

    FYI, Leone Quital is the leader of the Watchmaker faction. But yeah, this is basically why I called the Ob "well-intentioned villainy." Convinced that the ends justify the means, they undertake horrific acts like the witchoil experiments, all in the service of what they see as a better world...

    Constance, who has been writing rapidly in a tidy hand ever since sitting down, finally sets down her stylus and rises again. "As I look and listen to you, fellow planners and dreamers, I see many common traits: conviction, passion, logic, cunning, understanding. These traits, while common to...

    You can change your vote if you wish - click the red "unvote" at the top right of the poll.

    Oh, okay. Then I retract and apologize. When I'm not explicitly the writing as a character, I'm writing as myself and making my own actual arguments - which may differ from those I put in the mouths of characters.

    "Well-intentioned villainy" isn't an oxymoron. No need to be a jerk about it; this is, after all, just a game. Miller's Pyre replaces the plane of Jiese. The Cunning trait of Jiese is what has enabled the technological progress in this setting, making it distinct from conventional fantasy...

    The Pyre is a villainous plan. Well-intentioned, but flawed. Take our world and remove all technological progress but increase empathy and sympathy. Great, you have a peaceful world where people agree easily, but then it stagnates. It can't progress, because you've removed the mechanism by which...

    I see that Hitomi has cast one of his secondary votes to the Sky League. Accordingly, I have cast my primary vote for the Panarchists. So I voted for Panarchists + Sky League + Trekkers, with Avilona's replacement added to the Panarchists' existing plan in order to make flight possible. I...

    "To the Watchmakers, I say that I see little use for flight in a world without free will. The essence of the alliance between our faction of Sky Leaguers and Trekkers is liberty! How can an explorer function without free will? How can they respond to the wonders they find on their travels, if...

    What is the best software for GMs to run their games?

    Quest Kick looks like it only includes a subset of the features of Roll20, and it's missing the key one for me -- video chat. I also backed the RealmWorks Kickstarter, because while Roll20, Quest Kick, MapTool, etc are virtual tabletops, RealmWorks is really a campaign builder -- it's like...

    Kickstarter The REBUILDING EN WORLD Kickstarter Project

    Do you just mean the forum badges? They don't show up automatically, you have to go into the badge marketplace and it's in a special category. You "buy" it for 0 gold and then you can add it to your display list.

    “The Pyre, while a noble ideal, is fundamentally flawed.” The cutting voice seems at odds with the speaker, a rotund woman with soft features. “Jiese, the plane of fire, carries the aspect of Cunning. It is this aspect that drives the gears of industry -- the gears of revolution! The Pyre...

    Wow, I'm surprised to see 13th Age come in first! That's really cool, and it's an excellent game. :)

    Double-check my plans, please. NPC, Treasure, and Monster cards for Z.

    That reminds me, I don't even know if I'll end up with cards! My group and I are the Grand Design pledgers. Not sure if cards are included in that bundle or not. :P I'm hoping to get some use out of the foam Coaltongue by enticing the rest of the group to come visit us later next year. And maybe...

    ZEITGEIST The Flint Irregulars, whose portraits you may have seen

    More Planar Trails Last night they split up: Viveen, Reginald, and Vesta went to Xambria's apartment, Bela went to report Caius death to Delft, and Murdok stayed at the crime scene until they could turn it over to RHC/local cops. Murdok fiddled around with the trunk for a while, but couldn't...

    Double-check my plans, please. NPC, Treasure, and Monster cards for Z.

    I'd say no on the names. Since my game is online, I won't be handing the cards out, but not having the names on them gives DMs the option. I can always write the names and my notes on the cards myself if I keep them behind the screen. My players would love for the badger gun and/or the steam...
