July 28, 2009: "Part Munchkin, Part Pyramid, All . . ."
Um . . . All, uh, words? Okay, so I choked. I can't really be expected to always be funny every time, can I? I'm not some clanking automaton that generates whimsy at the command of my fleshy overlords. No! I'm a people! And as such, am naturally chaotic.
I'm not like Pyramid, with its monthly releases. Its schedule. Its consistency. Its ability to deliver high-quality gaming material on a regular basis. Flaunting its clear superiority with its latest issue, Pyramid #3/9: Space Opera. I'm not like you, Pyramid! Go take your clockwork ways, and your awesome articles about spacey ships, and let the good people of the Internet buy you!
No, I am more like Munchkin. I'm noisy and ever-changing; a bizzaro mish-mash of popular culture and oddball rules. Yes, like a mighty, yet amorphous juggernaut, I am - what's that? "The Munchkin Rigged Demo is a fixed demonstration that cleanly explains the rules of Munchkin?" And you say it is available as a free download on e23? And that I should stop repeating everything you say? Well, then . . . I guess I'm not like Munchkin either. Eh, for the game's sake, that's probably best.

Warehouse 23 News: e23: People To Meet.
The characters that make up A Medieval Tapestry are yours to use and abuse. You could use them as pre-gens for your Ars Magica game. You could make them all have a tea party on the top of a mountain. You could pit them against one another in a secret underground deathmatch. You could even have them all write-up characters for their own Ars Magica game. The choice is yours, so make the book yours as well.
