This is gonna be good.

In case you didn't know, Zak is taking down his Cube World adventures that are available from his Store. They'll be gone after this year ends. 

Instead, he suggests this. 

The Compendium that has all the Cube World stuff and then some. 

Hardcover. 

Efficient. 

Beautiful. 

I mean, look at this. 

 

So if you, like me, want this, you have until January 1st to write to Zak and to ask for it. 

Sweet.

I'm thinking about Linda Tirado.

 I'm thinking about the USA election, and I'm thinking about Ukraine, and I'm remembering how the "Berkut" snipers shot journalists in Kyiv in 2013, and of course I remember Linda Tirado. 

And here's an article, an interview with her. She's crazy and beautiful. 

And here's a story she told a couple days ago. 

I don't know how long she can live like this. Brain's a tricky thing. 

There's not much anyone can do to help. But if you can do a little thing, please do it. 

We owe it to her.

Kelvin Green has a gift for summarizing things.

I don't know if there's anything that can be added to what Kelvin posted. 

I can only repeat it. 

So about gender representation

 Jeff Rients quoted this on his blog. 

And it got me thinking about stuff that we're playing.  

The Dragonlance campaign that we hacked is more or less over this issue, the elven princess has two brothers, there are male and female evil generals, dragons, gods, all of them have names. Switch them around and not much will change, although I like the idea of a female Death Knight lusting after an elven prince. 

There are not that many humans in All Dogs... and if you genderbend the bandit leader, she turns back into sort of Robin Hood (that was the pun about her name). 

I'm so progressive, aren't I. 

Gen Con Surprise!

If you're on Gen Con, check out this year's LotFP free catalog. Because there's something awesome in there. Let's hear from James E. Raggi IV. 

Oh look, we're silver.

 Thanks to everyone who bought All Dogs Go to Hell, it's now a silver bestseller on DTRPG. Yay! 

Yaaay.

To celebrate this, I'm going to make pizza. I'd invite y'all to have a slice but I don't have enough for everyone, sorry. Instead, I'm going to publish a little thing that I've been working on (with some vital help from my friends). I dunno if I'll make it a pay-what-you-want on DT or put it somewhere else, we'll see. It's fun and I think it's gonna be useful. Give me a week or two and I'll show it to you.

Once again, I want to thank all the 1087 people who downloaded All Dogs, especially those who paid real money for it. And James Raggi who thought I have a funny name, and hired me to write it. And the artists, and the editor, and the playtesters (they're all mentioned in the adventure, they're cool people). 

Now let's get back to work. Electrum bestseller is next.

Zak's new art book

So here's Zak's new book, collecting his artworks from 2000's and until today. Twenty years ago the Orange Revolution halted the totalitarian usurpation in Ukraine. Today things are quite horrible, but art is still art.

I've ordered it already, but it'll take some time to get it from Europe. 

Personally, I like this spread. 

Something in the colour scheme appeals to my Ukrainian patriotism. 

The cover looks cool, too. 

 It's discounted now, but soon will be sold at full price. 

You can get it here.
