Hello friend! Gustavo posted it on his Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ZGXWQ8 you could make your print or ask the staff to release a poster line with the art!

Happy chap 84

Love this so much. Any way to get cover art as big ass poster?

♡ I thoroughly enjoy reading an upcoming video script, and picturing Matt saying "Terrible... Terrible DM." while pointing at himself. Edit: 94.pdf ... 94KB ... Coincidence?

That ramming example really speaks to me, maybe because I am old. But you can take two older games, Star Fleet Battles and Starfire (once upon a time both published by the defunct Task Force Games) where you could NOT ram in SFB, I think for the same reasons you gave. In Starfire you could ram, but it was MAD and it was a desperate maneuver that you had to make a roll for (Militancy). And these rules were necessary because otherwise players would be ramming expendable Federation DD into Klingon battlecruisers all the time. Or vice versa. I think it is hard to say no. There is an enormous amount of pressure on an organized play DM or on a DM whose players have been nurtured on streamed games to say yes to everything. No one wants to be a buzz-kill. But setting boundaries in your game is as important as setting boundaries in any social situation. It is okay to say and be firm about it. And like everything, that is a muscle that needs practice.

hope you all are safe and doing OK! Looking forward to the return of The Chain from Vancouver, BC, Canada!
