Link? If you are on the verge of bankruptcy, where does the money come from to go all in? Also, they basically broke even (200k loss…), not really what is generally considered the ‘verge of bankruptcy’ EDIT: the one I found is Larian’s thorny path to Baldur’s Gate 3: from underdogs with Intel...

they released DOS2 in 2017 and BG3 in 2023, so 2022 was deep in the BG3 development, a year dominated by investment into their new game. That year they posted a $220k loss, in 2023 they posted a $260M profit (pre-tax). Saying they were on the ropes in 2022 due to the heavy investment into their...

sounds like it, since for 95%+ this is their first FR book, they just say what currently is and do not spend time on how it was and how it got here

except that they weren’t on the ropes at all, so not sure where you heard that, but I very much doubt it was from Sven, he would have known better

Of course there will be a BG4, BG3 made enough money to ensure that. Chances are BG3 will also result in quite a few BG4 sales, no matter its actual quality

based on the website those are Australian $, not sure how much WotC books usually cost down under

no worse than the topaz method ;)

they do, they can blow air out one end, or they have magic ;)

that is because balloons generally lack a means of propulsion (hello zeppelin), the dragon does not ;)

no one is twisting GR’s arm here, if they streamline it, it is because they think that will attract a larger audience

yeah, put a winged viking helmet / a propeller hat on a T-Rex and pretend that allows them to fly, that is about the realism of these backward wings

the same way balloons do

agreed yep, don’t like funhouse dungeons for much the same reason either I agree that they do not ‘need to be’, as both adventures demonstrate, I do however believe it would drastically improve them if they were

agreed, but you still need to base a review on ‘what is there’ and not on what a DM can hypothetically turn it into (good or bad)

I am ok with beating a dungeon as the mission, but the dungeon still needs to be plausible and not just a pile of random monsters and traps.

they decided to lean into it, not sure how much ‘leaning out’ they could have done, but going the opposite direction was their choice

eh, some things are a matter of taste, and some are basically always worse than others, no matter your taste Traps that you have no way to detect and just randomly stumble into are worse than ones that you can detect and maybe disarm / avoid. Nonsense settings with no rhyme or reason are worse...

Can have tails, can have wings, do not have a fly speed, but can break a fall with their wings

not being able to be all things to all people does not excuse creating a bare bones highly improbable / nonsensical scenario with no intrinsic motivations however.

guess the adventure is perfectly adequate for that style of play, it’s just not what I was looking for even back then
