Not even a little bit. While I love dark Sun as a setting and flavor of D&D, it's pure poison in the current social climate. Even if they reuse the name, it will not be the dark Sun that was originally created. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but it's one that has been touched on...

“Oh look! Another thread that is going to devolve rapidly!” <Runs like a coward for the hills.>

Yes, that’s the key problem. A lot of the buyers are likely from a company that did not know that the photos were basically a lie, and bought them in good faith as fans of bg3. The result? WK being told in no uncertain terms the mass market will not put up with that crap, and now they’re...

Wow. That’s fast food burger levels of not matching the advertisement.

<looks up> bugger... What got everyone growling? Is their a cliff notes version of this? Or maybe I don't want to know?

Well, I got laid off from my job as a game designer at the beginning of the year. Several friends got laid off at the beginning of the previous year. Many of us have no jobs in that industry. I realized what was happening when I looked at the reports of thousands, if not tens of thousands in the...

I’m betting it was about ip rights being in flux, or a single manager of the ip saying, “RPG? Why would we want one of THOSE things?”

Hmnn. How well does it work with tales of the valiant?

There is little to be done about treading into political territory with this, as that’s what’s triggering these tariffs. For that reason, I’m going to nod, offer a good day, and move away from this one. Too volatile.

<facepalm> Oy. The gaming industry is in freefall, now. We’ve had studios closing left and right, thousands upon thousands laid off so often it’s not even being noticed anymore, and people with 20+ years of experience are unable to find work outside a Walmart. This is not a trend anymore. Way...

And the woman in question looks more like the actress from Orville who played the doctor. Clare Finn. Might just be me, though.

I have to wonder about the stupendiums music having something to do with the push on this product… they did a mini musical based on the setting.

None of the facts here are making them less hateable. Seriously. It’s like they go around, proclaiming their face punchable, and wonder why their nose is bloody. That was NOT an advocation of violence. It’s just a metaphor for the absurdity of the given behavior.

So, they sent out a meeting offer for early next week, on a Friday, and expected rsvp? If I’m reading this right, they would be hated for that alone…

I just switched to project black flag, or tales of the valiant. I have no regrets. The thing to remember is, Wizards did not commit this single offense. They had been showing their colors for a while before this, and this just made me nod and say, ”I believe you.” It’s sad. I was steeped in...

Well, that leaves us with hearsay. Some companies these were sent to say they had signatures requested of them. But we don’t have proof of the veracity of that claim. As far as Mike having no reason to toe the line, we don’t know that either. There are contracts that prevent speaking out...

Hmnnn. Sent out for feedback? I thought there were requests for signings. I have conflicting data of that event.

Wow. I had almost forgotten about this. Nice of him to remind me.

Fact is, gods are VERY core to any setting that uses them. I'm not talking about the standard D&D world pantheons. Those are all based off the core greek and roman gods. And yes, I know they are NOT directly out of Bulfinch's Mythology, but they're kissing cousins. The lady of pain is one like...

Or... just ignore all that, and have them meet up and run like the dysfunctional trainwreck they are? You're applying logic to comedic buggery.
