Holy Crap. Is that why I'm writing for this line? It all makes so much sense now...
Somewhere I think I have (or had) a picture of you holding up an Old World Bestiary (or maybe it was the RoS), grinning from ear to ear. :)

Glad to see you aboard. A Grim and Perilous TOR is the best of both worlds.
Don't start arguments over who has a better grasp of hiking and boating or someone might just bring down the banhammer.

Interesting. I like your earlier work from WFRP, may I ask what you are writing for TOR? Can't recall having seen your name in any of the supplements so far, but I could be mistaken on that part.

My first big break was writing WFRP 2nd ed stuff for Green Ronin too, so TOR is either in good hands or we're about to get a profusion of small but vicious dogs and plenty of rain.

Are those mutually exclusive?

Elfcrusher, you had lots of rain during yesterday's evenings game and if I hadn't thought it too much and reread the new rules I might have imposed not only the 2 Endurance loss for failing that Travel test but the total of the Success dice you rolled for it as well.

I'll save the vicious small dogs for a later episode.
