    In real life, Dire Wolves, resurrected from the dead

    I managed to track down the source to a New Yorker article behind a paywall, though this link will give access without a subscription. It's actually a pretty nice article that I feel gives a reasonably balanced description of why they're taking the approach they are and other more reasonable...

    In real life, Dire Wolves, resurrected from the dead

    Biochemist checking in here. We know from what the company has told us that these absolutely do not have anything close to the full genome of a dire wolf. They only mutated 20 positions out of ~12 million differences. Of those 20 changes, only 15 were even changes to something that matched...

    Evil Genius Games Attempts To Remove Bad Press [Update--And Then Adds Legal Threats!]

    The fact the letter cites the DMCA and CDA really adds to the questionable legal knowledge. As the name suggests the “C” in dmca means it’s related to copyright infringement. Specifically the takedown the letter refers to is the process for requesting websites takedown material that is...

    Underrated RPGs

    Unknown Armies is an interesting system and setting for playing in the modern world with a twist but I don’t hear too many talk about https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/408/atlas-games/category/37453/unknown-armies-third-edition

    For what it’s worth the mid journey art was in the original but there’s now a version with all the art replaced by commissioned art

    D&D 5E D&D Beyond: No More À La Carte Purchases But US Customers Can Buy Physical Books

    Not too surprised, though a bit disappointed to see a la carte going away from old books without notice. I was literally about to pick up Strixhaven spells since there were a few I just realized I'd like to be able to use but wasn't interested in the rest of the book. If I had been given a "last...

    Daggerheart 1.3 playtest dropping Tuesday.

    Putting somewhat vague description behind this block since even knowing the relevant rule is a bit of a spoiler

    Critical Role's 'Daggerheart' Open Playtest Starts In March

    Agreed that this is the best way to present the test. Some excerpts from the introduction to give people idea of what they're trying to do with the game

    Also available on drivethrurpg. https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/23533/darrington-press/category/48678/daggerheart Looks like a complete rulebook at 377 pages plus an intro adventure. Wasn’t expected the first packet to be that complete. Will take some time to digest

    Stormlight rpg

    The bit of conversation was a response to the claim that If this game is as successful as avatar it may be popular but that’s far short of taking out interest in other games for years

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    New interview with Dave Scott. Feels kind of superficial and doesn’t address big issue other than saying things like “my leadership style was tested and, on many occasions, failed. But I learned a lot.”. Seems to blame problems on stress from the Rebel Moon fight...

    Level Up (A5E) Planestrider: Choose A Page And I'll Post It!

    How about page 95? Figure second page is less likely to have art and give more a feel of what info about new planes will look like.

    D&D 5E Humblewood: A New Third-Party Setting on D&D Beyond

    The lack of adding Koboa as a third-party option probably has more to due with the fact that it's not even available yet, the original kickstarter timeline predicted October of this year as the target release date. Plus @bedir than notes there's nothing to suggest the developers agreed to...
