At grocery store and nearby dad says to his kid “watch this” and mimes being in a box

Had a sit down w my art and layout dude (Josh is a talented son of a bitch) and he was showing me the two page spread idea I had and it has to be four now
Because there is no way I am denying the world some of the great art he did to make it work (and I can’t cut enough words)
EXCITED.

I’ve worked at conventions w Limithron before, both in the booth and as a Harbour Master. 3 things:
1. They make a great game.
2. Their license is great, their support unmatched.
3. They are great people.
Making a game w their system was a no brainer.
