We also didn't want to restrict things to just one option--this way it could be an event, an area effect, a monster or the means to something else entirely, possibly all at once. We'll be coming back to this post down the road, as we get a few more things caught-up.

It could also lead to some Porkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604351052444947490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488294190723126143.post-36454456743529273762012-10-19T13:27:25.565-05:002012-10-19T13:27:25.565-05:00Hi Trey,

We love the Public Domain stuff and there's a bunch more coming along...just have a lot of artwork, geomorphs, maps and stuff to get completed first.
