The cover is a work in progress

June 4th - via: kickstarter.com
Below is the working cover. A lot is left to be done, and I am unsure of the body type. I do love the art and it depicts the Battle of Lexington.  Painted by Howard Pyle, his dynamic style captures the feel of the battle. Pyle is one of my favorite... (Read More)

What mis different between 4th edition and the other editions

May 31st - via: kickstarter.com
Ok, grab something to drink; this might go long. Sometimes, I do not know when to be quiet. :) Change 1 — A name changeResolution is now Resolve. It still does the same thing, but it fits better with the other stats, sound-wise. Change 2 —... (Read More)
