Did you tell him that Atomic Robo FATE or Fate Accelerated are the new and improved versions? He might not be familiar with FATE in general and think Strands may be the latest version.

Because if we didn't talk about bishies the thread would devolve into pointless sniping duels across timezones and the internet. That's right, folks, I :swoon: so you don't :sotw:!

The irony of calling it my vanishing trick when I've been here, posting, after all of this time (including an attempt at a come-clean thread) and the dude who did take the money actually, you know, vanished from the forums is appalling.

Also, I wrote something like ten thousand words for Nightfall. It's funny how Mikan didn't want to use that. If he was upset that there was a Gau hate club, he might have started with the mirror.

I was going to suggest not playing with fifteen year olds, but my RL GM hasn't changed his style since he was that age. Maybe slip him some Ritalin.

Maybe you should have sent them to someone who's working on the project now at some point. We've found a whole hell of a lot that was written for it over the past few months but not that.

No, I sent money to your kickstarter, and I considered it worth it because someone has probably doubled, if not quadrupled, their investment by buying all those red titles, but if you keep whining that monetary value will go down down down!!



You missed that title, huh? It was pretty glorious. Too bad the avatar lookups don't include text.

If Mikan seriously left over GBS 2.1 that's really funny, and I should dig up that pic from one of the old WoD threads.

Also, does anybody have links to both/either of Liesmith's Paladin threads?

Maybe, just maybe, you should do what I tell everyone who asks me privately and ask Mikan instead of speculating on poo poo. It's not hard.

In other news, good lord I now have two projects I conceived and wrote floating out there and they're probably both going to be in print within a month of one another. 100 dungeons deluxe is out for backers now. This is a strange feeling.

I try to avoid it, but honestly I keep coming back to necromancers/blood sorcerers/whatever "dark magi" a given setting has. I don't know why beyond the obvious "it's fun for me" and people keep telling me they like my portrayal of said characters so it's all good, yeah? v:shobon:v
