Inspiration and time. I can come up with thousands of random names for an infinite amount of bog-standard faux-medieval and high-fantasy towns, cities, regions, etc. Same goes for any bog-standard fantasy stuff. I’m good. I have 40+ years of modules, books, supplements, etc all around me. I...

Nice. I always thought of it more like working as an episodic show rather than a serialized show. So Doctor Who or Star Trek rather than Babylon 5. You can play as long as you want, but the idea of trying to do anything like a story-based campaign would be a non-starter. Though I do wonder...

Depends on the rewards and pricing. But that would be amazing. I’m not a fan of podcasts so I haven't listened to it. How well did they do with the game?

True. But that doesn’t make oral tradition unreliable. Again, in the West the cultural bias towards writing is strong. Like most biases it should be examined rather than not.

Wow. Must have been a push somewhere. It’s jumped to 1400 in the last few hours.

Looks good. Can’t wait to see if it pays off.

Over 1050 people signed up with just under a week to go. Anyone keep track of pre-launch numbers for crowdfunding and how well that translates to backers?

Fate was definitely ahead of its time.

Yeah, that would be great. You can still get PDFs of Deluxe Toon and the Tooniversal Tour Guide on their website. https://www.sjgames.com/toon/

I was going to avoid engaging with the discussion but it's been on my mind a lot lately. Just to get it out there, here goes. I agree 100% with the people who say that humans create art. I just disagree with when they place that creation in the process. It's not when a person makes a thing...
