Put the "Master" in "Game Master!" ~Professor DM, Dungeon Craft
Me too, I backed the project but I'm not on the Patreon, so I gotta wait for my packet, lol. But if James was right in the last Q&A they posted to the YouTube, it should be out sometime next month!

What does that mean?!
POODLE WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!!
The "Help" action is so lackluster in D&D 5. I appreciate that it exists that IS certainly a step up. But you do nothing with your turn (not very exciting), and your friend has Advantage, which helps, but if I had a nickel for every time I failed a roll with Advantage, I could probably buy a new copy of the PHB.
(Only a small part of why my game of choice is something completely different.)
Yes! 😆
Wait... 😟
Nooo! 😭
I'll do you one better, I have the books (except for Irongate), AND the Action Decks, AND the custom Bennies!
I'm not surprised, I don't recall how much the kickstarter raised, but it wasn't a ton. (Still enough to fund, obviously.) It was originally called "Bite Me!" (which is approximately as vampire-y, though I certainly liked it a lot better) but somebody had a copyright on that name.
Anyway, here's the DriveThruRPG listing
The MCDM RPG, it's not out yet. (Patreon backers have access to playtest documents, but I'm not that dedicated.) Also it has a name, we just don't know it yet. No, I'm not salty about that.
"Bite Marks", a PBTA game about werewolves. Just hasn't been the right time yet.
Savage Worlds variants include Weird War II, Weird Wars Rome, Last Parsec, Legend of Ghost Mountain--in each case, I only have limited game time, so there's just a big old backlog, you know?
No time wasted, this internet rando approves. Now, I believe it's time for another round of my usual sideliner cheer:
DROP A TRAIN ON 'IM, ANGIE!
Rope your girlfriend into it, Konsi, that's what you have her for.

Colville suggests that starting in a tavern is a chance to show off the setting in a microcosm. Put folks there that represent various factions or attitudes prevalent in the setting. When I ran a Savage Pathfinder game and had my players start in a tavern, I had some incurious off-duty town guards, the dillettante son of the mayor. I couldn't figure out a way to work in the diabolist church (I set my game in Cheliax), but I did have a choice of several "first jobs" for them to take.
