Is that a doggy Vimes? That's a doggy Vimes!

I liked how you defined "classes" as a role in the game instead of a strictly defined path of progression like in D&D. I prefer point-based systems where a character could make their own path and progress with not only their desires but the desires of the party as well. I'm in a Star Wars game where my character is a techie but over the games he had to develop other skills the rest of the party lacked like ground vehicle driving. I also developed his Strength stat as part of his background. I couldn't do that in most of the class-based systems I've found.

I'm assuming the one on the right is Cohen the Barbarian too. Middle one might be Carrot, but it's not as obvious :)

And now I have to go back and see, too. ... And wow - it's amazing, once I relize what I'm seeing. Must tell Rhonda. She'll want to run the system. :)

I've been with Ting Mobile for at least 2 years, now, and am very happy with them. They really are giving me unlimited talk and text for $10/month. Consumer Reports said customers are happiest with them, and a local friend also said he was (and is) happy with them. So I can't help you to a referral bonus, but here I can speak up for Ting. Hope this helps, and that no one minds me writing an ad.

o_O? I get the other two puns, and enjoy them, but have no idea what a "Clabattle Priest" is. ???
