It is done. A mostly expansion-agnostic (it assumes you are using the Academy) solo player aid for solo Trickerion. 5 pages (two of the three pages here are double sided) but organised in a way that each of the three sheets is self-contained.

So cool the settings for audio and text are independent of each other.
Okay the fact that you can configure Period English or Modern English in The Killing Stone is undeniably pretty rad
I have it set to read the period English audibly but it displays on screen in modern English so I can get the best of both worlds

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

I guess publicly telling the people who literally create your business’ product that they are 100% replaceable (and on a public forum no less) is not considered a sign of good business acumen.

I thought JT was crazy for this idea, but it absolutely makes sense when I see it all in context. Also, our voice actors (Emma Gregory, who you may know from Baldur's Gate 3, and Liam O'Brien, who you may know from Critical Role) performed each of their lines in BOTH VERSIONS.
ok this language option in The Killing Stone is really neat and honestly a point of replayability for me.
