I'm not one to harp on old stuff being better, but... Borderlands 2 just hits differently than the newer games, especially Assault on Dragon Keep.

Send me DMs if you want to playtest it
I've got over 50 playtesters for Voidlight and started receiving amazing feedback this weekend.
Also started getting requests for making third party content for the game, so of course I started working on a logo

Man, it's good to know there's people that understand this. I'm surrounded by people who complain something doesn't turn a profit.
It's not meant to. It's a service. Not a business.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I'm really considering on just randomly, from time to time, talking about this world. I haven't played a game in it in awhile but it's one of my favorite to revisit.
I'm also considering doing an entirely new one for scratch... if I ever get around to running a game.

I've since run about ten or so campaigns in that world, some in D&D, some in Pathfinder, built upon by players as they go and spanning about 700 years of history. I've got a couple pretty large binders covering it.
