This is so I can always find it. Remember the other day I said "I thought it’d be OK. I’m glad it was. Thanks to Rachel Thomas and her amazing sheaf of spreadsheets which made it be."
All for me: the (most) self-indulgent one.
I am really proud of All For One. Six years ago Rich Smith started a Facebook group called "H runs a musketeers game." 30 months ago, Bill Thomas signed up to do prop. build on game.
