Go, John Kim!

Not sure if anybody caught this, but it’s pretty awesome. To his credit, John is perfectly civil as Chris Pramas defends his fundamental right to prevent his excellent product from consuming the D20 market.

More Roach Errata

Posted by Jason on March 27th, 2006 — in Design

I love the word errata - it just rolls off the tongue with businesslike precision. No first printing survives contact with the public intact, and The Roach is no exception:

On page 28, the Pembertonian list for Event VI includes “Framing a scene” as a bullet point, which should be ignored.

On page 29, in the “The Free Man’s Blessing” section, the second sentence both begins and ends with the phrase “unlike a Command.” Pretend that it didn’t.

On pages 49 and 50, Mulligan utilizes an Opportunity after getting drunk, which (d’oh!) he can’t. It should read: “He narrates getting stinking drunk, choosing to resist the roach instead of giving in to his rival.”

On page 52, there is a dumb grammatical error. Please forgive us!

Thanks to Ron Edwards and many others for pointing these out.

This is brilliant stuff.

Yet another old game draft I wrote at some point, resurrected from beyond the digital grave. Like all the best board games, this one has never been played.

D&F Art: More Wizardry

Posted by Jason on March 18th, 2006 — in Check this out dude

Eric Poole has taken Jason Turner’s slightly frumpy wizard and made her bad-ass! Seriously, this is going to be the best illustrated dumb game ever!
