I'm going to include my indiana jones class in the upcoming SoE book. This class has been marinating for a while but came into focus yesterday so I wrote it up. This is second draft-ish and probably is ready for playtesting.

Someone pointed out that there should be a C in Acquisitor. I can't be arsed to change the pic but I am blushing a bit.

I'm lips deep in designing my SD city/setting supplement and a lot of design thought is being given to a couple of key areas. One, how to tie characters firmly to the setting in interesting and useful ways, and two, how to make a city sourcebook something that's full of immediately gameable material and not just dry background reading. If people are interested I'm happy to make the occasional design post as I work my way through the process.

Art looks very interesting, and I remember some of the earlier books/zines as being on my radar. Has anyone here tried the older stuff, or know of any reviews? Because I would most likely get the complete bundle, because that's just how my brain works.
I am trying to be a little less trigger happy regarding kickstarters, as I now have a few under my belt that I would probably not get, in hindsight.

The art, design, and ideas in LL's stuff is really really good. They're very fun to read or flip through.

They tend to lack polish/specifics though that make them more challenging to use for actual play as-is. Specifically I tried to run Wind Wraith which was very challenging to use and ultimately didn't give me all the tools I needed to make a campaign with it.

Shipping in April? Do I risk it...

I am doing a sort of wet marches style con game, with 5 seats per session, 4 sessions total. Some players are playing multiple sessions and will be re-using characters if they survive.

So, what is a safe number of pre-gens? I am thinking 20, assuming repeat survivors balance out deaths. Is that enough?

I think it should be fine. If worse comes to worst, character creation is quick, so a few empty sheets should work fine without going overboard.
Can even speed it up with shadowdarklings, connectivity/equipment permitting.
