That's fine.

but yeah well what can I say it's like a good argument for James Wallace's big table so we could have to actually investigate this rather than you having to do it or random people well I didn't really Joythropathy just sent out an email just saying we'll handle it the situation for them yeah yeah this is the situation we're the defender it's our problem we'll handle it don't worry about it it's what they said hopefully the EU sees it that way and yeah if they don't then I guess we'll burn those bridges when we come to it we'll burn those bridges when we cross them

Make more excitement across your burning bridge, Jester. Don't burn the bridge while you're on the bridge, though.

Those silent letters. Invisible, some might say.

Anyway. The Artificer.

The classes have been updated. They're like, what you try and make here? And people are like, oh, yeah, I really like it. I just don't connect. I don't know, it doesn't really fit in within my conceptions of fantasy. I have seen people...

say that like you know the people who are like me micro creators chipping away like uh our little tiny products and so forth uh they have strong views about this and um they're really unfavorable but i i haven't really looked for it myself uh there does seem to be like some It's just a bit of a... Yeah, it just feels like it's struggling for identity, which is a problem.

And there's a lot of mixes, which I don't expect to see. And that's always been past the class, but it's just a mix of arcane and divine spells, which I know aren't separate things within...

An artificed dog. It's a very jowly dog. And you dog lovers, what sort of dog is that looking like to you? A bird, maybe? Yeah, I guess like a sort of a... He looks like a heavily armored St. Bernard, but it's actually a robo dog. A cybe dog.

Yes. Yeah. Except engine oil instead of like sliver. Yeah. Wonderful. Woof, woof.

But yeah, I guess this is... I mean, I do like the artwork. It's very cool. There's the cyber dog. There's the...

Yeah, the vaguely femme-presenting artichoke with a great haircut next to them. It's just going to be a fartichoke now, isn't it? Yeah. But the thing is, they're wearing a breastplate with what looks like some sort of magic or technological brooch on it. They're wearing welding goggles.

a la steampunk and they have a what looks very much to me like a like a thunder hammer from 40k which is essentially a large stick with an explosive technological device on it so it's like it's sort of a high tech and a dragon's head a dragon's head where's the dragon's head Are we looking at a different picture? I'm looking at the picture you sent me, so... Oh, right, I'm done.

Okay, good. Well, I guess it's like this is heavily leaning into a weird fiction take. Which, you know, as I said, I am a fan of weird fiction, but maybe not for games of, you know what, maybe I should run a mix of Leverlup's Antifist Edition and Throne of Oedron's Codex. And then I built Spidey's Antifist in there. It's kind of sexy. You're playing Eberron, that'll fit you perfectly.

10 out of 10. Love this for Eberron. No notes. Amazing. That form of technology, magic technology. My geotech, brilliant, love it. 99% of the games I'd like to run, just wildly inappropriate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it brings up a lot of questions which I'm not prepared to answer because I'm like, they can make this stuff. Why isn't this basically a bronze?

I can say it's quite a divisive class. As I love this artwork, amazing, beautiful, just not right for me. But if you like it, then you don't have to pay attention to my opinion and you shouldn't. What? I don't know. I kind of have opinions, and other people have different ones, and that's okay, Jessica.

That's right.

Yeah. I am going to say it feels very Manichean to me. As in, there's going to be a strong opposition between good and evil. That's going to be really hard baked in, which is where I expect the coin flip comes in, depending on the various aspects.

And three cc's of mouse blood.
