TIME FOR A NEW THING. That new thing is this thing: following the conclusion of our time with Outlaws of Alkenstar, Amy volunteered to run a homebrewed FATE campaign for us, which system she and I have experience with but William and Isaac don’t; a fun reversal of the Pathfinder 2e dynamic! We landed on a core...

Antecedently: A whole grip of grapplin’; the latest hit from Supergiant Games; ambiguously-sized wasps in an unknowably-sized wasphaus (Fair warning to the reader, this entire session—and so this post—was literally just this one fight, and as much as we try to mix it up it does basically boil down to ‘they punched a...
