Welp, he's a little teary-eyed moment: some 12 years ago, I bought the first issue of Rise of the Runelords. It was written by James Jacobs and the adventure path outline included therein described 5 other upcoming stellar adventures written by dashing and fantastic gentlemen.

There were, over the years, questions as to how and when could we perhaps see a lady among the authors. Everyone nodded when Paizo folks explained the situation: the talent pool for D&D-ish adventure writing is virtually entirely male. Things slowly began to change as the hobby started to evolve and slowly climb out of the basement.

2020 and here I am, opening my copy of The Show Must Go On, first episode of Paizo's newest AP and what can I see? The author lineup is Lyz, Jenny, Kate, Greg, Mikko and Jason. 3/3 perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

This was a long road and some of its turns were ugly *cleans the flamethrower, fresh from today's little tussle downwards*, but we got here.

I'm looking forward to when you realize that Age of Ashes also had parity. We'll get to have another good cry, together. :)

I'm surprised to see you this emotional, Bagsy! Aww, you were just a small Haversack back then, right? ;P
