Someone please give me an estimate of what time my question is asked so I don't have to listen to a bunch of things I don't care about ^_^.
It's in the last 15 minutes.

I was a player in a Numenera campaign. It was a lot of fun and surprisingly easy to manage in terms of dice rolls. There wasn't a lot of getting bogged down in combat so the whole system was working well to keep the story going.Ah, didn't know it.
Anyone have weighty opinion on Numenera?

Chris Avellone aka MCA has offered to do a special podcast with me (the show is usually live) to address questions from the Codex that were not asked during the live show. More soon, need to coordinate.
SOOOO that also means I guess if you had questions but didn't ask them now's the time.
I'll post more details when I have them (depending on his schedule).
Best,
Shane

You fell out with MCG? What the fuck happened?
That sounds awfully familiar...
Thanks for sharing, fuckers will never see a dime from me.Short version: I felt I was being exploited.
Longer version: I had agreed to make the online character generator for The Strange, free of charge. I set certain conditions, one of which was that we agree to a schedule with commitments on their side also to provide me with the information I need to make it (this was before the thing was published). We set firm dates, including a release date — rather a tight one! — to which I committed. I cleared out a long weekend, including taking a couple of days off from work. When their deadline for providing me with the game materials came, I heard nothing. Two weeks later — after that long weekend was long past — they say that now they're ready to start, plus they listed a bunch of new requirements for it, with the original schedule. I told them to fuck off.
Even longer version: I had also collaborated on a collection of short stories set in the Ninth World, with a bunch of other amateur writers. We weren't able to publish for about six months because they kept changing the licensing conditions. They eventually ended up with something I thought was blatantly unfair: we pay them for a limited use license, and permanently lose all rights to re-publish our stories elsewhere. This process had already soured me to them somewhat.
(That collection did eventually get published. It's here [ http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/128492/Mechanical-Bard-Ninth-World-Tales ].)
I like writing and making stuff, and I'm happy to do it for free if it's something that really interests me, but I expect a certain degree of collegial respect among the people collaborating on it. Otherwise it stops being fun.

You're doin god's work boy :kwafuckyeah:So good news... Chris Avellone has offered to also include discussion about Divinity: Original Sin 2 in the special podcast.
If you missed the news, he's now attached to that game.
Exile has to have a certain gravitas that only age allows in my experience
