    Shadowdark Setting Looks Set To Be 2025's First Million Dollar TTRPG Crowdfunder

    I mean, keeping such a steady audience is pretty impressive. It's not like Shadpwdark is going to take over the TTRPG industry or anything, but that's not the threshold for success.

    WotC Chris Cao has left WotC

    Oh, jeez. Had no idea about that. Arena is honestly somewhat predatory in design to begin with, pushing that harder to the detriment of the game...?

    WotC Chris Cao has left WotC

    Yeah, Arena prints money. I somewhat doubt he got "fired" per se, since he seems to have not been part of the 90% of Sigil team members let go, but if Hasbro was offering early retirement packages he may have felt like the writing was on the wall...

    In my experience, it is neither who do. Which is, also, a major theme of the novels. Robert Jordan said that he really wanted to capture the problems people have communicating with each other, and he dis...in detail...

    Wheel of Time S3

    Some people level it as a criticism of the books ("these guys are stupid, this would never work!"), but I rather feel that is missing the point: the Forsaken and Darkfriends are buffonish narcissists who don't work together. That's the point, that's what evil is (also rings true with my...

    WotC Chris Perkins announces Retirement from Dungeons and Dragons

    That's not uncommon for creative publishing fields: you work for Board Company X, you sign a contract that any board game you design during the period of employment belongs to them.

    I loved the Moghedian plot in the books, glad to hear it is getting good representation here.

    Wheel of Time S3

    Thr standard used by the show, apparently, was to base a nations accent off of the primary character first cast from there. So, since Liandrin has a bit of a Liverpool accent, that's the Taraboner accent.
