I guess Pepé Le Pew is looking pretty good now, isn't he? 🦨

For Avatar, Magpie made an announcement on their Discord on January 30:

Hello, friends!

It’s that time of year again. The time of year where you normally get an email or tag (or seven!) from me asking for your help with Gen Con.

Unfortunately, this year will be different. As you know, the world is changing dramatically around us and the unstable economy and rapidly changing production landscape have impacted nearly every gaming company. Between tariffs and a shifting economy, games have been hit hard, and the costs of running a large operation at Gen Con keep going up and and up and up...

So for this year (at least), Magpie Games will not be running games at Gen Con. Our community space has been one of the most fulfilling and amazing parts of our time at the show, but we are heartbroken to say that this year just isn’t feasible given the economic landscape. We will be there in full at the booth in the dealer’s hall, but our community team will not be running games, panels, or epic events.

We love the community that has sprung up around our community space. So many of you spend every year with us, running amazing games, telling us incredible stories, and celebrating our wins with us. We can’t thank you enough for all the years we’ve worked together and can’t wait for when we can roll dice together at future shows!

We hope you have an amazing convention and stop by to see us at our booth!

My star has been released to float on the breeze.

I regularly give out first and last stars. Not always of course.

I give a lot of 6th stars as well, and it feels extra awesome to know you played a part in finishing their set. 🤩

I think one of the most interesting things is, unless I'm missing it in my ctrl+f, zero Avatar RPG sessions. For a blockbuster crowdfunder, zero games. I am disappointed that Tales of the Valiant hasn't grown as an alternative to D&D 5e. Also zero tables.

For Galactic Cruise…I am curious why only half game? I guess in a way a person is paying for the All in bundle + signed. But still…

Probably 13 years old, which would be 1976. I was already a wargamer and my store had the white box DdD. Spent all that money and couldn't make heads or tails of it. Tunnels and Trolls came to the rescue and filled in the gap until the PHB came out.

Got Book 01: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain for my 10th birthday and was immediately fascinated by the concept. Coincidentally I also got a leather dice cup with 10 miniature D6 (2 of them are still in my collection!) A few years later I tried to make some RPG out of the Fighting Fantasy books.
I remember some Das Schwarze Auge (DSA) (1st Edition) leaflet in some magazine (late 80s) but didn't get a copy of the game.

Real roleplaying started at the age of 19 with Vampire: The Masquerade.
