I didn't mind, I considered it rather good fortune I had found myself in.That's a bit shitty, considering the fact that postal rules say they ship it, you keep it. And everyone that I've had that happen either has paid for shipping and thanked me, or said just keep it and they'd write it off.
Right, no need for self-incriminating answers!I can’t remember the cost
It's IMO a missed opportunity that this isn't an adventure for levels 6-9...Just arrived yesterday.

I skimmed it. At first glance, it's nowhere near as good as Clownfellas (a masterpiece) , or even Cannibals of Candyland. But I'm a bit distracted since I just started the Broken Empire series by Marc Lawrence.

That wasn't a legitimately purchased item, though- it wasn't supposed to be in circulation. And even with that, they gave him the product that he'd actually ordered.You say that until the Pinkertons come a knocking at your door and make your wife cry.
Then Hasbro had any number of legal channels to pursue, short of sending private security to the guy's house.That wasn't a legitimately purchased item, though- it wasn't supposed to be in circulation. And even with that, they gave him the product that he'd actually ordered.
Oh yeah, definitely. The Pinkertons were overkill, no doubt.Then Hasbro had any number of legal channels to pursue, short of sending private security to the guy's house.
That it wasn't what he had ordered doesn't change the policy of "they ship it, you keep it", AFAIK?That wasn't a legitimately purchased item, though- it wasn't supposed to be in circulation. And even with that, they gave him the product that he'd actually ordered.
It does if the person that shipped it had no right to ship it. It wasn't their product to ship nor sell at that point.That it wasn't what he had ordered doesn't change the policy of "they ship it, you keep it", AFAIK?
Yes that changes thingsIt does if the person that shipped it had no right to ship it. It wasn't their product to ship nor sell at that point.
Fair enough, I hadn't followed the MtG drama.It does if the person that shipped it had no right to ship it. It wasn't their product to ship nor sell at that point.
Chaosium customer service is really good.When I sent Chaosium pictures of the couple smudged pages of their $90.00 Slipcase book set, they sent me unasked a complete replacement at no cost to me. Really classy on their part, I'd just wanted to let them know incase it was the whole print run. When they surprised me with the free replacement, they didn't need the original back. So I printed up the bad pages from the pdf and put them in the original book and gave it to my wife since she uses it for reference.
This is the slip case I'm talking about.

it’s here! A little dented but what do you expect these days.
I'll add Modiphius to that. I love their policy if you get the hard copy anywhere, you can message them to get the PDF for free.Yes I don't know how other companies work, but I can highly recommend direct dealings with Cubicle 7 and Chaosium, their customer service has been excellent as far as I am concerned. Personalised, friendly, efficient, and often generous.
Both of these companies already have the runs on the pitch as far as I'm concerned, especially in comparison to Hasbro/WotC's current reputation (digital monopoly attempts, OGL fiasco, the Pinkertons, etc)
You haven’t met my wife. It would be the Pinkertons goons crying by the time it was over.You say that until the Pinkertons come a knocking at your door and make your wife cry.
AI art is still very hit or miss, especially if you want something very specific, or a scene with characters interacting in some way. The best advice I can give is to go overboard with style prompts. Piling on six different artists in the prompt generally gives better results than one.I've had a look at AI art but the stuff that it's churned out hasn't impressed me. Maybe I'm asking or expecting too much of it. Some is fine but needs filling in, adding to. Others are like 'how many fingers' and 'what the hell happened to the face?' yet I know it can churn out some amazing things looking at the examples on the web. I'm just not asking the right questions of it yet or it doesn't do comic book super hero stuff very well at the moment.
Which one is that? I have the 5 and the 7 and they're great.Surface Pro. An old (used) one it's in decent nick and came up with the right spec (i7 16gb ram) at the right price with spare power supply, a docking station, pen and keyboard.

I wish they had a smaller form factor on them also, even if it was just kiosk mode or something. I had to end up getting a Boox so I could use it when taking a full surface wasn't feasible.We've owned the first generation, sixth generation (x2) and my wife has a Surface Book and one of our kids has a fifth generation Surface. Overall, we love them as well.
The form factor for the first generation Surface was smaller, but thicker as well so it weighed more than the later generations. I also would love to see something lighter and a bit smaller like my Kindle Paperwhite that I could use for reading instead of the Paperwhite.I wish they had a smaller form factor on them also, even if it was just kiosk mode or something.

Agreed. That's why I got a Boox.The form factor for the first generation Surface was smaller, but thicker as well so it weighed more than the later generations.

It's a 4. There's a lot of those to pick from on ebay, not so many of the newer models. I though about stretching further to a Surface X (I think it's called) at 13" but as it was purely a thing for reading PDFs (I have about half a dozen laptops at home for various things and tend to stick to the battered old Dell as my fingers have pounded the keyboard into a comfortable shape over the years) cost was a factor and I'm on strike three days in this coming month. If I was being sensible I'd have waited a while. What the heck, beans on toast are still cheap. Ish.Which one is that? I have the 5 and the 7 and they're great.
We’ll take your word for it, really.I'll have to get the tape measure out…
Speak for yourself. Pics or it didn't happen.We’ll take your word for it, really.
Note that the Honor + Intrigue corebook archive in the Bundle of Holding offer includes the introductory H+I space-opera adventure Rescue From the Void.If I like what I see I’ll buy the pdf with sci-fi stuff for it as well.
Cool. I was thinking of Intriguing Option 2: Blasters + Intrigue.Note that the Honor + Intrigue corebook archive in the Bundle of Holding offer includes the introductory H+I space-opera adventure Rescue From the Void.
Snagged it today and I'm currently reading it.I bought the Honor + Intrigue bundle today as soon as I saw the email. I haven’t had a chance to look at any of it yet, but people have been singing its praises for a while and ~$13 was fantastic for what you get.
I’ll probably take a look at it on the weekend and if I like what I see I’ll buy the pdf with sci-fi stuff for it as well.
