The inside is just stunning, as are the other S&C books.  Really upped the look from L&D, as much as I like the content of those!

I mean, Dominique Crouzet did a great job with L&D, but Chris Miller has taken out all the stops with the entire S&C series, I agree. I can claim zero credit for this, it's all on his genius.

Just out of curiosity, is your new Polish themed product being published by DOM or Chris Miller?

Will you be publishing a L&D 2e through Mad Scribe, or is the Polish project basically covering that ground (in addition to much more)?

Looks Islamic though. Timurid?

Just curious, are you still using Précis and Bedrock as publishers?
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

Baptism of Fire will be L&D Expanded Edition (not 2e, because the core rules are still entirely the same; just with new things added; it remains fully compatible with L&D).

I believe it is an Islamic (probably Persian) representation of Genghis.

Bedrock still publishes Arrows of Indra. Precis has purchased the rights to Lords of Olympus (and Gnomemurdered) but sold publishing rights of RPGPundit Presents to Spectre, who did the Old School Companions 1 & 2, World of the Last Sun, and Gonzo Fantasy Companion, as well as continuing to make new RPGPundit Presents issues.

I don't have much room in my life for paper books unfortunately due to being a seaman so the few I do keep beyond a first reading I like to have nice ones.  I would love to see you doing both a full collection of all your L&D in one volume and S&C with all of it's supplements in a single volume, both in nice hard covers.  Your books are visually beautiful as well as usable. 

My fantasy setting is a bit more fantastic than your more grounded medieval one but I love to take things from your book and put them in my game frequently.  Some of the elements my players love about my world are actually things I borrowed from Arrows of Indra and Dark Albion.  (Don't tell them though, I still want to bask in the light a little longer.)

Terrible idea, overwhelming majority of ttrpg players can't pass Voight-Kampff test.
