But you'd think my flgs (albeit I believe they subsidize their rpg pricing with boardgame and card profits) would be charging me the MSRP equivalent in CAD$.

I believe it is way less.

Just pre-ordered 3 Mongoose Traveller books from my flgs.

It is significantly cheaper for me to do that than direct.

Like, significantly.

Normalize having a playable game before crowdfunding a tabletop RPG :3

I think a voting map of the US would confirm this pretty firmly.

2nd session of Tales of the Old West's Las Vegas Legacy last night.

First was a doozie with moral arguments setting the tone.

Second soon went off the rails as the PCs decided to capture the bounty hunters.

Not a shot was fired as the PCs got 3+ successes on every roll for the rest of the night.

Just for perspective on this, I found this pic on Facebook (where it was noted it was found on eBay). Japanese edition Traveller art was ON POINT.

Matt Elliott: Why Doug Ford needs to get over his obsession with Toronto and its waterfront The premier’s recent proposal for jets at Billy Bishop and a conference centre on reclaimed land follow 15 years of his various attempts to put his own stamp on the waterfront.

My @thestar.com column: For 15 years, Doug Ford has had an obsession with Toronto’s waterfront, hyping up half-baked ideas. The latest? A busier airport and a mega convention centre.

But the waterfront has never needed Ford's ideasβ€”and will be worse because of them.

Here's a random tip for publishing friends. I ummed and ahhed about implementing this for a stupidly long time, but investing the ~Β£70 a year in tech that allows customers to browse our web shop in multiple currencies has netted us thousands in increased sales. The effect was instant and lasting.

I'm going to the grand opening of Tabletop Bookshelf! Really excited to see the space, peruse the books (likely buy way too many), and hang out!
