    Designer Chris Avellone from Black Isle continues RPG Vault's designer diaries, and this is probably the last one before the game is released.

    Well, it looks like there's actually room to squeeze another one of these in, which I will hereby refer to as "jumping on the grenade." My half-orc female barbarian (a favorite archetype since Justin Sweet's portrait addition) was busy putting her dual-wielded axes in some necromancer's skull while my sorcerer is laying into the necromancer's allies with some Beltyn's Burning Blood spells when Darren Monahan, our intrepid leader, strolls into the office, rubbing his hands together and not meeting my gaze which always means he has an unpleasant task for whichever poor schlep he happens to be talking to. I quickly ALT-TAB back to an Excel spreadsheet of important looking figures that look surprisingly like weapon statistics but which is actually my grocery list encrypted in a number font that the other designers use in their "work" spreadsheets.

    Head over to RPG Vault for the rest.
