It's not anime, but the pitch always gave me isekai vibes. It's just so different from basic isekai-style properties in a really great way. I still can't believe that I didn't jump on it sooner.

I bought the bundle and I decided to give it a shot…

Damn it! I feel very foolish for sleeping on it. I just reached Chapter 4 in the first volume and it is AMAZING!

I'm going to read it all, give him back the wonderful book I've been neglecting and then I'm going to pick up the RPG!

Having 3 kids who are in 4th and 6th grade and all play sports (baseball and softball), I feel like I have very little time to sit down and read a physical book. I listen to Tech podcasts, RPG podcasts, stream videos, etc because I can multitask. With a physical book I can't...

A co-worker has the oversized hardback edition and brought it in with the intention having me borrow it.

Like a monster, it's been sitting on a shelf at my house. I feel guilty every day that I haven't read it and offered to give it back, but he told me no. Keep it till I read it…

As stated above, Ayreon exposed me to a lot of other artists and one of them was Devin Townsend. Devin is a real talent and Strapping Young Lad is good stuff, but his side projects are the best IMHO. Check out Power Nerd.

Favorite song: Retinal Circus (Live) - Addicted!

Other progressive bands I fell in love with from that guy's collection were Dream Theater, Opeth, and Porcupine Tree. The first song I heard from Porcupine Tree was Blackest Eyes and I was all in!

Favorite song: Deadwing - Lazarus

In my 20s, I ended up working for a guy who was really into progressive metal, the top artist I landed on was Ayreon. Each album is a Metal opera composed of several artists from many other bands. Simply mind-blowing!

Favorite song: The Human Equation - Day Eleven: Love

Nightwish was the probably the second most listened to metal band for me right after I graduated college. I don't have a favorite front singer, as I think all 3 have have great albums/songs. There is one album I can loop all day:

Favorite song: Once - Dark Chest of Wonders

Outside of Metallica, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Quiet Riot, and even Green Jellö my early metal years are not much to speak of. In college I found Hammerfall through a friend and it opened my eyes. I wanted more metal sub-genres.

Favorite song: Legacy of Kings - Back to Back

Even more excited for this game system after the Q&A

Looking forward to the KS on Oct 7th!

INCLUDING! A few charity tables I'm running. I'm not making money on this. I'm trying to take my skills and turn them into meals for hungry people. Join up! I have a primo Saturday night spot, but others as well! Try out Daggerheart, have a fun adventure, give the gift of life.
