    I do find it depressing that we've been around for ten years, with both the old UM5 and the second edition being mithril badge-selling titles compared to Everyday Heroes' gold, and having had five successful Kickstarters, but people have heard of EGG more than us. It just goes to show that a...

    Does this mean we need to start a support group? :P Those that talked with Scott about a relationship only for said relationship to fizzle?

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    EGG reached out to Dias Ex Machina to adapt some of our products to the EH system. At the time, we we prepping for our next Kickstarter for Ultramodern5, and I thought that would dilute focus from our own UM5 system. They offered to help publish these books, and while tempted, I ultimately...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Are Ladders and How Do You Use Them (Ultramodern5).

    Ultramodern5 on Backerkit: An Interview with Chris Dias (Dias Ex Machina)

    I guess that depends on the direction you want to take. I am more interested in offering spellcasters that are completely off the style scene in the core 5E books. I have made so far four different spellcasters. The oxomancer in Torus uses deckbuilding to determine power level. The Abecedarian...

    Well, we are certainly not looking to imitate another artist, as we have an awesome one with Nick Greenwood, but we have been investigating avenues to accelerate output. There are already several major programs along with Photoshop which do not employ the current AI systems that are already...
