Happy Alternity Game Day!

March has crept up awfully fast this year.

In remembrance of the anniversary of the shelving of the Alternity system, we raise a glass and salute what was in many ways a predecessor to the d20 system. A system where we can roll a 1 and be happy about it.


This year, I'll refresh some of the Chronicle heroes:
