I did not know that. Certainly not the first famously thing that's passed me by. But very cool to know.

I can't think of any reason she would say no to playing the character in the show. I assume she's wrapped up her work in Solasta II, or close to it.

I'm looking forward to Star Wars Zero Company, but they haven't provided an update on release yet other than "2026 sometime". In the meantime, I've been playing Timberborn, which is a lot of fun if you like providing beavers with a venue for their dance parties.

By necessity, PCs in games like D&D are going to be fairly unrealistic. I mean, you could spend more time on developing character background and personality, but the truth is that anyone subjected to the constant peril and violence that a PC endures would realistically suffer PTSD that would...

Is it weird the calendar has two months labelled 11 and none labelled 9?

I'm not sure I recall when banks were happy to invest in companies generating 5% returns. You might be thinking of scenarios where a bank would be willing to lend money to a company generating a 5% return, but that's a very different thing than investing. When a bank lends you money, their...

I'm less interested in assuming the initiative will fail and more interested in fantasizing about a gold box remaster.

Leafs vs Oilers for the SC final?

One Night in Westgate A Solo D&D Adventure for level 1 player characters Something's rotten in Westgate. Something’s always rotten in Westgate, but most of the time you can step around it, avoid it, pretend it isn’t there. Not this time. This time you’re pulled into it when a desperate old...

"Monster Manual". Yes.

Do we know if they'll have monsters named after classes? It's always been a pet peeve of mine. Druids and Bards are player characters, not monsters.

My concern is the section on creating creatures. It's one and a half pages of very simple guidance on modifying existing monsters, with nothing approaching mechanics for actually making new monsters. I'm hoping someone will jump in here and tell me those rules have been reserved for the Monster...
