[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 9655629, member: 58416"] [I]"A different thread is something I'll likely do later on, after I look at some of the suggestions people have offered throughout this thread.

As part of the ongoing discussion about [URL='https://goodman-games.com/announcing-city-state-of-the-invincible-overlord-2/']Goodman Games[/URL] and their recent product announcement, I asked if there were comparable products available.
