    WotC Chris Perkins announces Retirement from Dungeons and Dragons

    Senior Narrative Worldbuilding Designer - D&D Franchise They are still looking to find someone to fill that role. I wonder if they will find it more pressing to find someone to fill that role now that Perkins is gone. Seems pretty important going forward.

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    The big winner here is WotC. Folks had been talking about a D&D decline and folks being more willing to try new TTRPG, that is now largely dead.

    New R.A. Salvatore Novel, Starring Drizzt's Daughter, Title and Synopsis Revealed

    You got to give RA Salvatore credit for getting naughty word done, for some weird reason they didn't offer RA Salvatore a new contract, so he just wrote a book anyways and talked them into buying it (and maybe a contract for the series?).

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    The owners are Canadian too, so I suspect they will understand. I suspect they will find ways to adapt. Personally I'm boycotting all WotC products except Forgotten Realms which is as far as I'm concerned a Canadian setting we let Americans contribute too!

    It's quality, not quantity, he's got a cool story and his Patron is alot of fun too. Plus his dad is very important & powerful politician in BG, two great black characters for the price of one!

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Actually Canada & Mexico were specifically excluded from the new wave of tariffs and this has a few important effects. First off the current tariffs against Canada & Mexico have as many holes as Swiss Cheese, USMC compliant products are mostly except still as far as I know. The fact that we...
