Hasbro’s annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earnings the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games division was the only one that turned a profit in the entire company. Not only that, but Wizards is responsible for roughly 47% of the entire company’s revenue and over 90% of all revenue growth over the last year.

The Thassera quest was an absolute delight. Creepy, funny, and just plain *interesting* at every turn. While I agree that thus far, Lex Imperialis hasn't been quite as stellar as Void Shadows, this specific locale and its quest are right there at the top of what Rogue Trader has to offer.

playing Rogue Trader always leaves me wanting to run Wrath & Glory but then I'd need players willing to accept Space Marines never appearing because I refuse to learn anything about that most boring aspect of the setting

my backer copy of Caverns of Thracia has finally reached my corner of the rest-of-world
at first glance, it looks and feels great.
as with most of my print pre-orders, I didn't dive into the PDF much, so I'm looking forward to delving into this later!

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

OK, let's not beat around the bush.
Cozy, while discussing media, is a dog whistle to me.
It means I want something that doesn't challenge me.
It means that anyone who criticizes this piece of work is my enemy.
Cozy, to me, is marketing speak for fascism.

I think one can feel cozy about someone or something, but you can't package it up and sell it to me.
It's like love in that way.

I feel vindication in a way that is hard to grasp. To FINALLY wake up to this. A few of you reached out to me, and I to a few of you, over the last year. So now it's the best time to talk about this.

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Sure why not! (Maybe this'll put me more in a mindset to plan for my Fabula Ultima campaign, I tell myself desperately)

I saw this around. It looks like fun! Final Fantasy is one of my all-time favorite series, and this is a great way to interact with other FF fans. 😁 Hopefully I can stick to this because I have a habit of forgetting about these 😂
If anyone wants to do this too, feel free! 🙏
