What's Wick done lately, anyways? I sort of have a total gap in my knowledge of him between Houses of the Blooded and Seventh Sea 2e.

That's because you're thinking of American biscuits, which are what we in the UK call scones and eat with cream and fruit preserve. Our biscuits are firm, dry because they're cooked twice, and only a little sweet. The dark chocolate digestive is especially prized.

If you think a biscuit is anything like the garbage brick that's a scone, that's only because you haven't had a decent biscuit.

I'm interested in how it plays, but not interested enough to watch an hour and a half long preview video. Does anyone have any insight into the system?

The Drowned Earth looks like it might be pretty cool, but as a clumsy idiot who's spent hours gluing my fingers to orks, I can only read 'Beautifully cast, multi-part metal miniatures' as a dire warning.

I really want to be interested in Hack the Planet, but I've got HUGE reservations after The Veil, which felt incredibly narrow in available character concepts, and directionless past 'explore the plotlines these playbooks are about', and straight-up lifted moves wholesale from other PBTA games without a whole lot of consideration for why the Child-Thing and the future cultist on the run get the same hideout.

Looking at Hack the Planet's list of crews, I have a similar worry about the level of narrow specificity and the author transplanting other books' mechanics into this (Like, the crews being a motorcycle gang, stormchasers, airship-based scavengers, and then apparently just Hawkers and Bravos from BitD).
