And I could go on like this with any other subject. The curious thing is that my field of knowledge is prepress and art (and I barely talk about prepress), so I guess I reached to all those people through my art. Which is not really a surprise. Art has always been a way of socializing for me.

Today I learned that graphic designers used to be 3 people (illustrators, typesetters and prepress) and now it’s just 1 person doing all these things. Because “efficiency”. And now i don’t feel so bad about being bad at typography or prepress.

Dave's PnP kit builder has been such a boon to the Oath community who have been rapidly assembling and updating their kits (and providing feedback and enthuastim) over the past month while the team takes the game through prepress.
Oath: New Foundations is an expansion for Oath due to hit late this year. But you can print'n'play it *today*, because of a little software side-project of mine.
