Campaign Two is anyway Clickbait I know. But there's no word on the future From last week: Not a huge fan. There's a lot of show But if they do a third game it might be a good time to start watching Assuming they keep playing DnD and don't go with a homebrew game or another system

Based on this article Dungeons & Disabilities: Can tabletop RPGs redeem their problematic portrayal of disability? which references this journal Blinded by the Roll: The Critical Fail of Disability in D&D | Analog Game Studies I imagine DnD will also start moving away from using Blinded...
