The Daily Teaser — 6-1-2013

Oh … 

Now that’s nice to know.

Aging gamer that I am, I’ve kept half an eye the Kickstarter campaign being run by the Deluse Tunnels and Trolls team.

Amazingly, they’ve made people jealous: by meeting their target in just over 36 hours*.

I have to admit: the original 5th Edition of the game was my first RPG.

I’m happy by proxy: and gave artist, Liz Danforth’s post about it a thorough going over.

Good luck to ’em!

Let’s move on, shall we?
