I finally got caught up on SGOYT today and I'm so glad that I did! Lincoln's Cat with an actual cat:
Thank you, [user=EPeel]Lauren[/user]!!!!!!!!!!!! So cute! And what I really, really needed to see right now.
Progress has been slow on batch #2 for Game Crafter. Graphics are driving me batty and I'm doing my best to keep costs as low as I can. Nine Tails is becoming Nine Tails: A Solitaire Game.
The Medallion/Kitsune Cards required significant re-working. To save on costs, while keeping the game's integrity, the Rest Tokens are becoming Rest Cards. The Direction Arrow remains on a Card. There will be a double-sided Player Aid Card and The Kitsune's Quest poem is becoming The Kitsune's Journey Card- it's just a revised edition of the poem with the new logo. A promo of sorts. 18 Cards, Rulebook, & Hook Box. No more tokens. And this way, I'll be able to price it under $20 :geek_grin:.
I need to clean up the sleeping fox a bit more...
I also continued working on the new files for Eighteen Eggs. Another day or two, then I can at least submit them for approval.
In other news: My voice is still nonexistent and I coughed enough to give myself a headache :shake:
Happy Tuesday and happy playing!

That's fantastic! My grandfather had three of the books and I read them every time I went to their house. The artists in those books influenced my imagination more than you could imagine. Angus McKie's famous painting of the skeleton in a space suit against a huge background of a wrecked starship played havoc with my imagination.
That being said, Outreachfan may be the best handle ever.

I never heard the name Terran Trade Authority until now, though I think one of that book series landed in my hands and influenced my approach to Traveller. You are definitely a fellow space gamer.

We've received 3 votes so far. They definitely demonstrate the wide range of opinions on RPGG as one judge has a game in 1st place and another has the same game in 12th place.
Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD JUL 12: In some RPGs, PCs have a regular job in addition to their adventuring/sleuthing side job. In what ways are those regular jobs helping or hindering their adventuring/sleuthing side job?

I once tried to have a hobbit go on an adventure until they could find a rare wild herb for an ale. I did it but it felt like bailing.

Wouldn't that be cool? A D&D (mostly any edition) character who sets out on adventure just to seek the one last ingredience he is short for a high level magical ritual . . . . the problem is that starting characters will not be into high level magic work. Hm, I fear fantasy RPGs are not good in allocating "mundane" jobs to adventureres.
Ok, my mid level cleric of Moradin holds service whenever possible, attracting mostly dwarves and miners so far. I doubt it will be her only work for a long time unless she decides to quit adventuring.
In fact I had some NPCs who were ex-adventurers. But nothing while they considered themselfes as active adventurers.
I see it different with RPGs like Call of Cthulhu or Vampire (where I once had a character being crime scene reporter) but then it mostly is a "cover" for being advenurer.
