Quote from: Benoist;570063You're welcome, Dan. Glad to be of service. And Jeffrey Talanian is a good guy, yes.

Then we need to get him posting on here!

He does. You can see his posts on this thread earlier (user name: Ghul). He's just swamped right now since he's doing the shipping of the boxes himself. It's gonna take a bit of time but he's very aware of the interest about the game on the RPG Site. He's going to show up again soon.

Excellent. We'll see if he feels like daring a Pundit review.

I get what you're saying, but he does support the scene. He reviews.

And if he's anything like me, he finds himself with a peculiar "problem": he gets so many review copies that he feels awkward buying any games, because reading something he's bought means he's not reading something someone's waiting on him to review.

I find that I HAVE to review anything I buy in order to find time to read it.

Not me, bro. If they want me to review it, they can send me a review copy of it. If I buy it, the transaction is done.

My point is that if I buy something and don't review it, I never take the time to read it (with everything else I'm juggling at any given time).

Ah. Gotcha.

If I buy a game, I won't be reviewing it. And an RPGPundit review is generally going to generate more sales for you than the 1 sale that me buying a game would provide. It makes more sense for a game designer to send me a free review copy than to hope I'll buy his game.

Yeah... I'd like to think the same rule applies to a Davenport review. I'm operating under that theory, at least.

This is my favorite part of it so far:

Quote"...and the spring years are remarkable for a species of fire beetles (oft called jigs) that cavort about the bogs, scores upon scores emitting their fulvous phosphorescence, as the standing males "jig" on their hind legs in most ostentatious displays."

I'm the sort of dork that cracks up every time I think of that passage.

Quote from: Tommy Brownell;566625I just watched Bakshi and Frazetta's Fire & Ice last night, and suddenly this looks interesting to me.

Hello fellows,

Sorry it's taken me so long to log in here at theRPGsite. I appreciate the interest in AS&SH, and I want to start responding to the recent messages. I'll start with Tommy's, above: Yes! You mention an animated film that is very dear to me, resonating with me in a way that Thundarr always did.

Quote from: Chainsaw;567043Glad you guys like the pics. Thanks for posting them, Ben.

Indeed! Thanks for taking the pics, Chainsaw, and thanks to Ben for taking the time to post them here.

Cheers,

Quote from: Dan Davenport;567050Zombie with an assault rifle? I have got to hear the background of this setting.

Well, now that you have the PDF, Dan, and will eventually have the print version, I would refer you to Vol. VI: Hyperborea Gazetteer for the bulk of the background information, but there are many bits sprinkled about the character classes, monsters, treasure, and so on. I do appreciate your interest, so thank you.
