And bam, I can write one thing down for each of those characters and everybody's playing off that. You can write it on a table tent, fold it up, see each other's things.

and you're boom you're playing off that canton concept and then icons right in 13th age are these big group things that help you do that on a richer level of saying you know i am linked to the rogue prince and i am in enmity with the dwarves right and like and then and i'm neutral with the diabolist right and those things can just now be those seeds for play at the setting level whatever your setting may be

You need to join a guild. I absolutely agree with that. I don't want to see you must choose your guild or you must choose your fighting brigade or whatever for each class. The reason deities are there... is because they are, historically speaking, such a huge part of a setting, right? What is a setting but a magical world dominated by gods? Almost all, right?

There are only a few that really deviate from that. And so if there are these enormous powers at bay, then those are paramount, right? And when you are a cleric, I mean, we can't not know. You got to tell me who you worship, right? Or play off of that, right? Like in the Fallbacks novel, the cleric does not worship any one god. He makes deals with all of them.

And that's a fun way to do it too, right? You know, you're playing against type, that's fine too, but you've got to have an answer. And your answer can be, oh, I don't know, or whatever it is, right? But that answer is important because the roles that deities play in almost all settings should be huge, even though somehow we've strayed from that.

And our main segment is going to talk about setting, which kind of links into a lot of what this, this is a nice warmup. It absolutely does.

Well, it's hard to say because, you know, we don't they didn't say like first day or, you know, some number of hours. But if we if we look at, you know, when the press release came out, it's been it had been roughly a week. So Tasha's we got some data from BookScan back a bit ago. And was it last June, something like that? Not this June, but the one before that.

And was it last June, something like that? Not this June, but the one before that.

And in those numbers, it showed Tasha's with one hundred and twenty five thousand eight hundred and thirty eight first week print copies sold through the book scan series of outlets, big box stores, Amazon, things like that. I estimate that maybe Bookscan is 20% to 34% of print sales. We're just talking print here. So that's a lot, right? More than 125,000.

Add another 20% to that, so another, what, 24,000 or something like that. So 160, something like that. I don't mind math remotely, right? Check me at home. But it's a huge number, and Wizards is saying 2024 players' handbook is even higher. On the internet, you'll hear everything from revisionist folks saying like, well, of course it's that big.

I always knew it would be because, you know, if you think about it, there's so many players that, of course, they picked up the player's handbook. But those folks were probably saying two months ago, oh, nobody's buying this new book. The old book is how everybody's going to be playing and 2024 is dead. So you get a lot of variants on the internet.
