I wouldn't expect the cost would be the primary barrier to entry for potential readers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995094671901769577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-71506712871659598552014-12-02T19:36:05.112-05:002014-12-02T19:36:05.112-05:00I couldn't agree more.

From the tone and specifics of the introduction he posted, he sounds aware of potential problems - which is a good first step toward avoiding them altogether.

Lee playing guitar, but I wanted to toss-in here that when I came back to the game and culture earlier this year, Grog was the first place I found when I searched-out The Secret of Bone Hill. <br /><br />James was entirely welcoming and that was a great way to reinsert into this culture. We've all been that new guy in the pool hall or guitar shop or gym where you think they judge how much you bench or if your arpeggio lines are clean. . . it's easy to be a dick and turn someone off forever from an entire atmosphere. <br /><br />Grog sent me to the Tavern and this is clearly a more active community, and equally welcoming to the Lapsers and Rooks alike. I have no idea what Dwimmermount is (sounds like Smurfette's loose sister at the truck stop to me) but in fairness it seems like the man took a beating and is dusting himself off. <br /><br />I can't speak for Canada, but in America, that sounds like the beginning of redemption. <br /><br />-Rick <br />HuckSawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13381444935904172318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-164170784548878672014-12-02T14:40:03.615-05:002014-12-02T14:40:03.615-05:00I'm wishing him luck on this, but the price is...I'm wishing him luck on this, but the price is a bit too steep for something I won't end up using.

He also is using really nice physical materials, and has great art in the product. I mean, shit, Jason Sholtis' cover of the first issue is really nice. Those things ain't cheap either. I think it's a fair price.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310118896949396274noreply@blogger.com
