Lillee, Yan’s Pixie Arcane Caster is leaving the group this week to be replaced by a new character. While our group hasn’t developed strong ties or built any spectacular interrelations, there was something building between Lillee’s concern for Cruger’s well being and Cruguer’s pained tolerance of that somewhat annoying little ball of energy.

Tweaking Classes for Cooler Characters: The Shaper postmortem

Mini-Links: Whole Wheat Bastard Boardgame Ninjas!
Ahhh it’s Friday afternoon, a snowstorm rages on Montreal and my boss just gave us the day rest of the day off… Of course, on Fridays, our lab is drenched in fresh blood samples that we can’t leave on the bench for 3 days, so while I can relax and kickback a bit, I have […]
