And people do seem to be looking at it. It's not the most active place, but if you have questions, it is a good place to ask if you don't do Discord.

Well, why would you? You literally have your own website, Russ.

And, of course, if you look for the hashtags on things like Blue Sky or even, goodness help you, the Fediverse, Macedon, then there is definitely stuff that you can find in conversations that do occur there. Certainly there are more designers from Level Up A5E on Blue Sky. We recently had DM Sarah coming along. Nice. So that's pretty cool, yeah.

Oh, yeah. I don't know why I'm so excited about this. I just am. OK. Yeah.

It's like I played Pathfinder Second Edition. Doesn't excite me. Starfinder Second Edition is going to be the same game. But for some reason, I'm like, yeah, let's go.

Oh, yes. It's a very good year for me to be me this year. Maybe it's a sign. I don't know. But yeah, 13th Age, second edition. I have played and run lots of 13th Age. I've had a great time. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Very simple, easy to play, very improv heavy. an anti canonical setting in that the description of the world has between 8 and 13 different options for each location, which can all be true or all not true, even though some of them are like, you know,
