Ohlen is no stranger to Wizards of the Coast properties, though, having worked as lead designer and creative director on <em>Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate II, </em>and <em>Neverwinter Nights</em> along with massively popular video games <em><a href="https://www.humblebundle.com/store/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic?partner=gamerstavern&charity=1326853" target="_blank">Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/2Prm2Li" target="_blank">Dragon Age: Origins</a>, </em>and the <em><a href="https://amzn.to/2XNrR95" target="_blank">Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO</a></em>. Personally, I’ve streamed so many of Ohlen’s games on my Twitch channel I probably should co-credit him on my stream. In addition to his work in video games, Ohlen started the Arcanum Worlds tabletop RPG publisher who is currently <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcanumworlds/odyssey-of-the-dragonlords-5th-edition-adventure-b" target="_blank">Kickstarting the 5e campaign setting <em>Odyssey of the Dragonlords</em> in partnership with Modiphius</a>.</p><p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]106084[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.dmsguild.com/product/269398/Heroes-of-Baldurs-Gate-5e?affiliate_id=36142" target="_blank">Oh and if that weren’t enough, James Ohlen’s Arcanum Worlds announced the release of <em>Heroes of Baldur’s Gate, </em>an adventure for levels 1 to 6 available now on the DM’s Guild</a>. The 160-page adventure also includes new backgrounds and monsters plus stats on fifteen NPCs, both allies and enemies of the party, that players of the <em>Baldur’s Gate </em>series will recognize. Yes, Minsc and Boo.

Among the inspirations include historical figures including Bass Reeves, Fee Lee Wong, Cathay Williams, Nate Love, Jerome Crow Dog, and others along with the works of Robert E.

Hobby game sales in the United States and Canada totaled $1.495 billion, down three percent from last year’s totals. However, tabletop roleplaying games is still growing, with total sales of $65 million in all physical media channels (including crowdfunding like Kickstarter and IndieGoGo but not including sales from digital markets like DriveThruRPG), up 18% from 2017’s $55 million total and continues the trend of year-on-year growth for the market going all the way back to 2013 when the entire industry had just $15 million in gross annual sales. So why is the overall tabletop industry down for the first time? A fourteen percent drop in the collectable games market, going from $725 million in gross sales in 2017 down to $625 million to 2016. Collectable games includes both CCGs like <em>Magic: The Gathering </em>and <em>Yu Gi Oh</em> as well as collectable miniature games like <em>HeroClix</em> and the other randomized miniature offerings like <em>D&D Miniatures </em>and <em>Pathfinder Battles </em>from WizKids.
