The fact it says "taking place after the events of the game" is concerning me given that there are multiple different endings for the game.
Honestly just set a tv show in Faerun and tell an individual story instead of latching it onto an existing IP

I have been doing a lot of thinking about what the next themed season of my podcast should be and recently I have started DMing two D&D campaigns, same world but different time periods and I am now leaning towards a season about D&D/TTRPG
Maybe something like "What D&D/TTRPG means to me?"

Tories! Trains! The traitor David Cameron! THE BONE TEMPLE has as much to say about Britain, the good, bad and ugly of it all, as 28 YEARS LATER did. I break it down for @fangoria.bsky.social 🦴

Getting into DMing D&D games and I find it is genuinely so off putting that there:

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
