Knights & Knaves Alehouse

Apparently the art has begun to ship - mine was well-packed and undamaged. Thanks!

WOW...

I think they're pretty cool - Ian Baggley's one of my favorite artists. I had the piece on the left commissioned separately late last year or early this year, but it was ultimately included in the final product. The one on the right was a pledge package perk. Cleric's my favorite class, so that worked out well.

This is the only Kickstarter project I've supported thus far and, honestly, that support was more than a little motivated by knowing Ghul and Ian from conventions and the forums. I probably would have been unlikely to pledge if I hadn't enjoyed meeting and gaming with them. Coincidentally, I was also deep into re-reading REH, CAS and HPL right as this project came into development, so I was primed to be a supporter.

I definitely like the changes to the hydra pic, and can't wait for the game to arrive---as much to ogle the rest of Ian's art as to delve into Jeff's vision for the CAS/HPL/REH mash-up setting.

That cleric is pretty dark---has a very strong Pholtus vibe going: he's an inquisitional battle cleric, not your "here, let me support your front line from the second row while they do all the heavy-lifting in combat" type

A realization just struck me: I'm looking forward to seeing AS&SH moreso than I am the AD&D reprints!

Hear hear! This expresses my sentiment as well.

While I'm mildly happy that WotC is reprinting the core AD&D hardbacks - and I've ordered a set to show my appreciation - I'm really, really anxious to get a look at the AS&SH boxed set, of which I've ordered _several_ copies.

Ditto.

I honestly can't imagine you guys being disappointed. AS&SH is awesome.

And yeah, I'm totally giddy with anticipation, waiting for the game to be shipped.

I can tell them apart, one of you has a beard.

Have to agree. The beard is a dead give-away.

Well.. the cleric in the art above appears to have some sort of polearm that has a stabbing end, so I was curious. Sometimes I lean toward allowing clerics to use edged weapons myself...
