Oof, the US only nature of the Blade's in the Dark backerkit is a gut punch. I guess I'll try and scrounge it up at retail later.

The plain BBcode works :) emote I hate to say it, but I don't even really notice a difference at Polygon these days, for better or worse. The best round up on everything I saw was from their former sister site, the Verge...

Thursday was Traveller Day, so there's a few displacement tons of bundles available... Free Trader Beowulf https://bundleofholding.com/presents/FreeTrader Mongoose Traveller 2e Mongoose Traveller 2E Bundle Pirates of Drinax Traveller Pirates of Drinax Bundle Traveller Imperium Tour...

I've lost count at how many video game news sites I've switch from due to closures/buy outs/etc. On the tabletop side, losing Dicebreaker hurt and it does sound like Charlie Hall got laid off with this one. In hindsight, it really makes me appreciate that EN World is still alive and well.

I've been happy with the Traveller books I've been picking up through them. No more errors/typos than a Wizards of the Coast product at least. I think they had some quality issues a few years back, before I started Traveller and well after the d20 boom/crash. They switched to releasing pdf...

Mongoose is really on a roll trying to recover all of the GDW properties. Good on them! I hope they reach out to Lester B. Smith, I get the impression that their interactions with Marc Miller have all been positive.

Honestly, I don't think they're going to be any more bothered by Exodus being Traveller inspired then all the other Traveller inspired settings/games from Starfield to Battletech to Firefly. Battletech (from a former GDW licensee!) even took the 2d6 combat system and jump drive galaxy...

Ditto, recieved it a while ago and thought it was released a few months back. The physical book is a gorgeous coffe table piece and I'm just as happy with it as with Shannon Applecline's other works.

Thanks again for the recommendation. I'm half way through and enjoying it! Same here. I suspect it's because it's not going to be a 2025 title, which I'm also slightly disappointed at.

Wrong with us. I'm going to blame Mass Effect nostalgia and an ongoing Traveller campaign in my case. Delighted to see that Travelers are part of the Exodus universe, they're not hiding their heritage!

Just got the link for the preorder, so it's starting to roll out. Shipping to Canada costs almost as much as the book...

I've really missed this article. Welcome back and all the best for your recovery!

Oof, there's been too many good crowdfunding campaigns lately. I haven't recovered from Kobold Press's Planescape Labyrinth campaign, Ars Magica this week, and Monte Cook's Darkest Woods next week. I hope everyone is finding something to love!

I hope the omission of video games is one of brevity in the blurb and not intent from WotC... This one area I agree the D&D brand is undermonetized--I have money and I will gladly throw it at good games like Baldur's Gate 3! The impression I got from Sven is part of why Larian wasn't interested...

There's less of a console exclusivity thing going on with Nintendo these days, so you have a lot of Sony or Microsoft players buying Nintendo consoles as well. You can add ~100 million Wii sales or >150 million Switch to the Microsoft + Sony numbers and overestimate the market size or add less...

To clarify, WotC is making no such claims. I wish I could find the quote, but Phil Spencer of Microsoft has had estimated the size of the console industry as A) 200-300 million consoles, and B) essentially static between generations. If you grab the sales data off Wikipedia, the rough estimate...

I wonder I this is my fault? I preordered three copies, returned both online orders because they were damaged, and kept the copy from a FLGS.

Ha. I've had the exact opposite experience. Amazon doesn't ship a single D&D product I preorder, I spend hours with customer support for them to tell my order is with the wrong distribution centre, and they can't change the distribution centre so I need to cancel my preorder, and reorder the...

October 15th alone is going to be an expensive day for Wizard TTRPG campaigns, apparently Ars Magica is launching on the same day as this!
