The title says "...Archetype Entertainment Head...". A writer might be done, a designer might not be. 1-2+ years before release is a bit long for just polishing imho.

The ability to say "It wasn't me!" or are they already leaving the ship?

We roll on a table... ;)

It's going into anything but INT... Putting it in DEX or WIS could be hilarious!

There That was no terrorist attack, they just returned to sender a lot of stuff, all at once. The terrorist attack was the humans delivering an exploding ball by suicide bomber... It was obvious from the start of the first episode that this was related to the Dr. Who IP (the mention of UNIT in...

The increase in population is about 35% over 25 years. Global PC sales have about doubled over the same 25 years. And the shift in 'nerd' culture has been going on for a LOT longer then a decade. The highest number in there is just double the PC sales in a quarter century, while the difference...

Let's talk context: BG2 did 2 million sales in five years, BG3 did 20 million sales in two years. When you want to make a game that's not a niche within a niche, like most D&D computer games, you need to use a similar target audience as other successful computer games. Like Cyberpunk 2077, The...

Deadfire is old, 2018, Just before the acquisition by Microsoft. These days Obsidian is all about games like Grounded, The Outer Worlds, Pentiment, and Avowed. Many of the great studios of the past are no longer what they were, the people that made them great at that time either moved on or changed.

Thanks for all the fish! ;)

Eberron already has two computer games to it's name: Dragonshard (2005), an RTS. D&D Online (DDO, 2006), an MMO. It's first name was Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach, later it was renamed to Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited and when they added FR content it got it's current...

Anything is hard when you haven't done that before. Be that DMing, making a bookcase, riding a bike, etc. And while you can try learning by just diving into the deep end with zero prep, that is probably not going to be fun for anyone involved. You need to prep, what tools you need, how to use...

You can use iconics in a video game about a D&D Warlock, the spells it can cast, the attacks it can make, the powers it has, the choices it can make. The monsters it encounters. The trailer has a Beholder for example. Trailer: The trailer looks pretty, nice effects, but nothing about actual...

The trailer looks interesting. But they've been at it for almost 7 years at this point, when it releases at least 8 years, if it's not pushed back even further. Four months ago the release date was still 2026, now it's already 2027. With WotC/Hasbro it wouldn't surprise me at all if we hear next...

The owner of a 'thing' can only suggest what others will call their 'thing'. Your can call your 'thing' xyz and people can still call it Tiny or far less positive names. It might be rude, but there's no stopping people calling your 'thing' whatever they want... ;)

My friends don't even know DH exists. No, I was talking about folks here and other social media that were previously very pro DH, they did some excusing during the beta, but backpedaled hard after the official release. What I'm also more hinting at is that something like Draw Steel is doing...

I doubt that many RPG writers/designers have actually said that out loud, but certainly their fanbase has, and that's what I was trying to say. Possibly, but what I've gotten from quite a few people that where extremely enthusiastic about Daggerheart is that way more then I expected didn't...

While the Python crew might have said something about Python 4, Python 3.14 released a week ago, and the changes between 3.0 and 3.14 in 17 years have NOT been minor changes! And that would not have been the equivalent of errata or FAQ equivalents in TTRPGs. They are most certainly still...

Honestly, immersion is not the goal for me/us, it's a tool. We're playing a game/activity for fun/satisfaction, if whatever we're doing is fun/satisfactory, then we win. If that does not include immersion, that's fine. I'm also of the opinion, that while I know what people mean generally when...

Eberron needed both. And what it got was a tiny 112 page booklet, while Forgotten Realms got a 192 and a 288 page book. Even the Spelljammer expansion had 3x 64 page booklets... The Golden Stepchild of D&D? More like the Golden Basterchild of D&D... And while RftLW might be a good book content...

Will => Magic => Result! ;) Things are not easy on the BG3 front, but the topic starter wanted a BG3 like experience in the Dalelands, so why not try it when someone is serious. People are working on campaigns and it looks like some already have mods (working?) for 5e spelljammer, with new...
