Yeah, with a human creator, if the creator is staying with the PC and being friendly, the ST is probably not paying attention to Disquiet. As for Promethean creators, part of being human is eventually letting your children find their own ways through the world. So, while a creator might stay and teach their "child" the basics of life as a Promethean, they can't helicopter parent them forever.

As a storyteller, I once did a big info dump with a Pooka NPC. It was hard, but really fun, trying to figure out how to get the meaning across without actually telling the complete truth. I think I did pretty well, and the PCs seemed to get the idea of what was going on.

One way to easily get your point across as a Pooka, if they know you're a Pooka, is to look them dead in the eyes and say something as simple and as opposite from what you mean as possible. For example, if a Pooka said to me, "You will survive the night," I would be very, very afraid.

I have to say, I'm glad they're not. That's pages and pages of what is effectively useless information in a book I'm paying for. I'm very happy to have my name in the PDF version, though....

Q-Workshop dice always feel lighter to me. Did you ever have the Aberrant dice? They remind me of those....

[Florin]

From the packaging, I assume those are Q-Workshop dice? Are they of similar quality to other Q-Workshop dice?

[Florin]

Same here. You know, except for the birthday stuff....

And Rich sent out an update via Kickstarter saying that USPS has started picking up packages from the fulfillment provider.

[Florin]

Yeah, I can see it in backerkit. I was only checking my email and didn't think to look there....

[Florin]

I haven't been notified of a shipping label yet.

[Florin]

The advance PDFs usually come out after proofing but before indexing. They also almost always do an advance PDF. So, I council patience. We should get one.

[Florin]

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't have a way of checking my books until I got home.

[Florin]

I'd have to check, but I don't think the recent Kickstarters have had the credits pages in the printed books. Which I don't mind. It's a cost addition to each printed book. Put in the PDF version and I'm fine.

[Florin]

I think either you misunderstood what I meant or I'm misunderstanding what you meant. I meant they shouldn't delay the Aberrant kickstarter until the final version of Trinity came out. They don't need a finished version of Trinity for the kickstarter and running the Aberrant kickstarter is not going to slow down Trinity coming out. They're two separate workflows....

[Florin]

Would it? They still have a draft version they can link to. Link that and whatever preview they have going of the Aberrant book at the same time. After all, not everyone funding the campaign will have already bought the Trinity Continuum corebook beforehand. Some people are going to show up because it's Aberrant, and I'll be super surprised if OPP doesn't have pledge levels for the TCC and Aberrant as well as for just the Aberrant book.

[Florin]

I'm not sure OPP is worried about (or should be worried about) getting the Aeon Continuum base book out before they do an Aberrant kickstarter.

Have any of the 2e books been developed by the same person who developed the first edition? I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I believe pretty much all of the 2e books are considered better than their first incarnations. I have every hope the same will happen with Mummy.

That's only 9k away. That's not a very big 48 hour bump. We have a pretty decent chance of making that. A really good 48 hour bump is about 30% more, which would be in the 20k range.
