    Are you suggesting that the succession of hand-drawn maps that have appeared in the past 80+ Rifts books, with little consistency between them, wasn't "decent"?

    I know it's very D&D, but a hexcrawl version of this would be great. Rifts is perfect for a sandbox. I wonder if the monster book will have encounter tables?

    Now I see that the "highway sign" picture I bitched about earlier is supposed to be Chi-Town. Why would there be highway signs written in English, in a country where practically everyone is illiterate? THIS IS BULLSHIT

    ;)

    I thought of writing up my Pacific Northwest-based Rifts stuff as a hexcrawl at one point, but never got around to it. I wouldn't hold my breath for a random encounter table.

    I'm trying to remember if my Deadlands book has one...

    Palladium certainly doesn't have many. A few of the Palladium Fantasy, 1st ed books had them. Honestly, they seem like a very D&D thing.

    Robotech had some random encounters, but it was a more finite enemy force in a situation where the PCs were generally patrolling.

    After the Bomb had some as well. The Road Hogs table was good. That game was about travel after all.

    Right. There might be some random encounter tables in Rifts adventures, come to think of it. Palladium's encounter tables are adventure-specific rather than generic like D&D's.

    Hey, Paul V., just went over $300K, so big books it is.

    Casey G. Nice. I wonder if they'll add more stretch goals. (I wouldn't be upset if they didn't.)

    Just checked, every $10,000 is a one-sheet adventure.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
