ah yes. I misspoke. I've tried to use that in AD&D several times, but it always collapses into players just telling me.

I haven't read that particular book, but several of those in the same historical vein. Braunstein was, from my understanding, another good example of a GM-type person who was a fairly neutral arbiter.

So, it looks like they're only selling their products? Are they planning to expand the offering?

That's a good response, right there!

I have REALLY enjoyed reading Shadowdark and playing about five sessions. I'm running my first session next week at a small gathering of friends

So what systems do you play primarily? I feel like I might have asked you this last week....

I'm happy to report that upon concluding, the game assigns a mission that tells you all the side quests, so that you can satisfy any completionist urges!

Is the "weird little guy" in reference to a grubby little NPC fellow who lives in a dungeon? If so, it's from Between 2 Cairns and it's mostly the fault of @bradkerr.net.

Oh wow. I have not! Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Have you unlocked any reward cards that are manifestations yet? I don't want to spoil any, but I have thoughts....
