Dreams of the Riddle
I had a dream last night, guys.
It was my typical weird dream, with all sorts of stuff going on in it that made sense in context, but after the fact seemed ultra bizarre. However, I'm not going to bore you all with the details of the dream, because they're not the point.
So what's the point? This:
Early on in the dream, I walked into a gaming store. I looked over the shelves and eventually asked the owner if he had TRoS. He said he'd never heard of it, so I gushed briefly, and he gave me an order form to fill out. I remember filling out the order form (I also remember a slot for an illustration on the order form, but hey, it WAS a dream) and putting.. Tundra? I think Tundra, down as the Distributor, and Driftwood as the publisher. I don't remember what the distributor was, and I can't seem to access the site at the moment, but if it turns out to be called Tundra or anything remarkably similar to that name.. I'll definitely be weirded out.
I think it can now, Officially, stated that I have The Riddle of Steel on the brain. Jake, you're the official man, what say you?

Heh, you aren't the only one to dream of the Riddle (though mine was a very different sort). I was having a rather standard fantasy adventure dream except that the tRoS mechanics were superimposed on the dream itself. Even though I was the character in the dream, I was still aware of how the roll of various dice pools was determining the success or failure of my actions. It was actually kind of creepy, especially the feeling of being powerless to the whims of the dice.
