Haha that's a good one! What if the solution of the maze was simply to grow so large you could step right out of it?

It closed a few days ago :(

.. Got any good ideas?

Someone said it takes 100 paintings before you're past the "total beginner" phase, so hopefully doing these cards should push me right along.

I'm going to do 12 for Mage Tower, Castle, and Crypt, and then an extra 6 each for Inn, Forest, and Cave.

I've got some ideas for Swamp, Mountain, Plains, and Ship but I think I'll save those because it's already quite a lot of scope (54 total).

PoD softcover will take longer (probably not ready this year).

It's strangely comforting seeing some things I like in pieces that I know will be my worst in the medium.

Can't wait to compare my stuff in a couple of months to these guys.

Hi Jason, big fan of FoaBD! I just published "The Belle of the Bog", an enchanted steamboat adventure for Dragonbane (but written with the old-school crowd in mind). Would love to hear your take.

In your experience is 90lb enough to stop it from buckling? I'm using 90lb but not cotton and it's just getting wrinkly immediately

Great advice, thank you! 96 to go haha

Just having the balance lever of being able to make quick, easy things and big impressive things segregated by action cost adds a fantastic level of choice to every turn.

I'm headed away from "combat-as-sport" style games but I truly do miss the meaningful choice every round that PF2 gives you.
