Approximately a third of the way through this side of my journey, and just before the schedule changes hit. Once again the balance of what I'm reading will shift, and we'll be seeing twice as many Polyhedrons as we do Dungeons for quite a few years. Now the guy on the cover, he may have an excellent sense of physical balance, but it's pretty obvious his mental equilibrium is somewhat lacking. Also, he may be related to Jareth the Goblin King, which bodes ill for any well-informed PC's. Let's see if it takes more or less than 13 hours to deal with his powers and move onto the next chapter of our overarching metaplot. Notes From HQ: Another round of their attempts to expand and keep on top of everything here. More tournaments at all sorts of levels, over more conventions! But make sure you fill out the paperwork properly afterwards, or you won't gain any points for doing so. It may be tedious, but we are not mind-readers. They're also adding several new companies to the list of things that offer a 10% to members, including the newly formed White Wolf, who hope to maintain the good relationship their Lion Rampant predecessors shared with the RPGA. Since they wound up having to form their own organisation for large scale LARP play, that may not work out. Oh well. there's always the possibility of some drama in the process. More incentive to keep on heading towards the future and see what it brings. Letters: There's only one letter this issue, a long one complaining about the accessibility of the Gamers Decathalon events. Why are none of them near me?! They get an even longer answer that boils down to "It's where people we know live". Even within the continental USA, roleplaying is unevenly spread and communication between groups is not great. The RPGA is doing their best, but there's still tons of gamers who aren't on their radar at all because they only play in their own little groups and don't go to tournaments. You want to fix that, put in the effort to travel a bit, meet new people, and maintain connections with them. Sounds exhausting. It's all so much easier now we've got social media, and you can broadcast to everyone who's ever been interested in you anywhere in the world with a single post. The New Rogues Gallery: They've been running a lot of competitions lately. Now they're finally giving us the rewards. Pairs of NPC's for various systems on the general theme of rider & mount. That's a fairly unusual one with plenty of promise. Let's see if the results were any good. Tser Katrina & Falbis Tyen are a mutant wolf & boar in Gamma World. Katrina has psychic powers and brains, Falbis has hands and can speak, and so pretends to be the one in charge, but is really getting telepathic instructions on the smart things to say. So they have a pretty interesting codependent dynamic in their efforts to gain mutant followers and become a force to be reckoned with in the area, and could make for excellent adversaries. Merrgsh & Armmegh are an orcish god and his half-dragon demigod mount. They don't appear to have any particular portfolio other than worship me because I'm bigger and stronger than you, which kinda limits his ability to advance beyond a lesser god and grant any interesting powers to his clerics. They're still a formidable team for high level parties to fight though, with serious ability to deliver and absorb damage. Glutton & Manslaughter are a pair of mutant wolves in the TMNT system. As goes with the theme, one is more humanoid than the other and functions as the rider and mouthpiece of the team. They can be hired as bounty hunters if you know where to look and have the cash, so they might be on the opposing side as the PC's but it's nothing personal. May they not die in the first battle so you can actually build a decent rivalry with them.</blockquote>
