Christopher's AMA WEDNESDAY 3-9 on Reddit

Don't forget, everyone: Christopher will be having an AMA on www.reddit.com/r/boardgames tomorrow starting at 9 AM CST. Get some questions ready and let's pump him for answers.

EDIT: Could have sworn he said Tuesday, but that was incorrect. It will be tomorrow.

 

EDIT: Title change by arenson9

 

EDIT2: Link


You're free to do whatever you want to.

If someone could ask my question, that would be great, thanks!

What happened to La Capitan's crew?

I thought that was tomorrow... unless I slept through Tuesday...

EDIT: Well... you fixed it while I typed this... so please disregard.

I think he was originally talking about having it on Tuesday during the art stream, but changed it to Wednesday on the kickstarter update.

Why did the first Parson develop powers? Why then and not before of after?

If Legacy's line doesn't end, wouldn't it eventually create some sort of all-powerful being? Is OblivAeon a future Parson? Wouldn't one eventually develop time-travel and come back to help out heroes now?

If Legacy's line is destined to end, when does that happen?

They press-ganged Setback. Then the ship sank.

Duh. Because you need superpowers to defeat the British, historical fact.

Pydro, as a mod, can you change the title of this thread so I don't continue to cause confusion?

Done. I thought the owner could change it. Oh, well.

Tomorrow isn't a good descriptor if you don't log in today...

Anyone have a direct link to where this is going on? I don't know how to navigate reddit.

Thanks!

How about "where is Siege-Breaker now?" Same thing with the Cursed Acolyte.

If a mod could add the link to the initial post I think that would help anyone who is looking for this in the future.

I'm now wishing the entire AMA was just Peter asking increasingly rediculous questions. The Guise/Bunker theory is brilliant, can't believe I've never noticed it before, it's so obvious!

Christopher stated that he was lost in time.  Sorry Pydro.

The quantity and quality of answers in this AMA were off the charts!  Thank you, Christopher.  :)

They were also surprisingly forthright. Somebody asked what Con is, AND HE JUST ANSWERED.

Who was that really on the AMA, and what did that person do with Christopher??!

But who is Christopher's favourite character? I can't believe nobody asked that...

I think I remember seeing that somewhere, and he said something like "All of them. No, seriously."

It was asked 4 or 5 times if I recall correctly - that was Christopher's answer that gave a vague hint of exasperation!

Only 4 or 5? It certainly reached a point where he said "I already answered that elsewhere."
