We've designed a damn tabletop RPG.In this final Design Session for EIDOLON 2E, we sit down to answer all of your emails to cinch up EVERY REMAINING FLAW in our game; which is to say we spend a lot of time saying "fair argument, listener, but we stand by our decision on this one."The next draft of the game is going to the text-complete draft used to create the final product! It might take a little extra time to get it edited, but be on the lookout for it sometime in the next couple weeks! After that, we're still finalizing artwork and need to get layout done, so we're not 100% positive when the final product will be available, but it should be sometime this fall!Come back next month to hear us start work on EIDOLON: Become Your Worst Self, the first expansion to the game!</html>

[PREVIEW] AIMFYtPMC #10: Yo-Yo Ma

E

<html>[Instrumental]We're back! Ty shows up partway through and Luke's audio sounds awful because we had a hell of a time getting this episode recorded, but WE'RE BACK. Let's talk about a shitty little bullshit man!GENERAL CONTENT WARNING: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is often a crass series that incorporates a wide variety of fraught subject matter, and prioritizes using that fraught material for high drama and unconventional action scenes over approaching the subjects with appropriate care or consideration. We'll include more specific content warnings when covering especially rough episodes, but as a baseline, assume that most topics are handled with insufficient levels of sensitivity. Also, JJBA is a show that heavily features bloody violence and body horror.</html>

We've had some scheduling conflicts this month, which have unfortunately kept us from getting an episode of Playlist recorded. We initially recorded this for the $10 tier, but we've decided to release it on the $3 tier instead as a mea culpa. Enjoy!)</html>
