So as I said last week, I've been pretty heads down on documentation and prep for the next 12 months. We've got some exciting news to talk about in the coming weeks, including information about the next Freedom Player Summit, and tomorrow's Ustream Coffee Talk is no exception: We'll be debuting two, count em two, upcoming costume sets. David "Noble Savage" Nakayama will be stopping by to discuss these new sets and I'll try not to tangent too much. People say I tangent to much, but it's like that one time I went to the grocery store to get some bread. By the way, I had a great sandwich for lunch today. Oh look, there's a rock.

If you've never tuned into our Coffee Talks, you can check out our Ustream channel and "Join the Crowd"! If you want to participate in the chat, be sure to sign up for a Ustream account! We broadcast every Wed from 10:30 AM Pacific until 11:30 AM (ish).

See you there!

This really upsets me, because I enjoy hearing developers talk about what's on their sandwiches, or hats. I like it when they put hats on sandwiches, but is that, like, anthropomorphism (oh goodness no), or do we need a totally new term? You guys talk about the game too much. COME ON, IT'S JUST A GAME.

Prediction: They're making a "Kheldian Appreciation" costume pack, including an all gender Sash and a Kheldian eye aura, as a response to recent backlash.

I heard Rock's T4 is called Roll, but I can't check to confirm.

And Rock now comes with its own aura... Moss.

This aura, however, does not work when the travel power Roll is enabled.

Sounds like you want a "Prince of Sturmhalten's Big Bet" sandwich.

So, why does Rock keep getting all these updates when the only thing Paper's gotten was the Cut update. And that was, what, 3 years ago?!

Ridiculous.

Cut was deemed overpowered because you could eliminate the threat of wild Pokémon in tall grass.

At least Paper went Live. Scissor got dropped in beta because people complained it was inappropriate.

Yeah, because then they couldn't run, and the devs wouldn't give them the power to walk.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Hrm, I suppose they couldn't, at that...

So, instead of businessmen and women off the street, the next trial will be bakers defeating us with their wares?

Eh. My guess is a medieval pack. And...club wear?

Though, I'd be happy with a completed model of the Sci Fi pack.

Which would be odd since it so recently became a tier 5 Incarnate power that only Praetorian citizens have.

So, a new sandwich costume set then?
I hope there are new costume sets. They should be medieval and retro sci-fi.
Wanting an ancient japan or Blade & Soul...ish costume set badly.
Maybe sci-fi is still in works.
Maybe they show up the Roman (We know this set) and Clubber (Too low on pieces to be considered a proper set¿?)
I hope there is something new.
