No, Daggerheart isn't a "DnD killer", mostly because DnD doesn't *need* killing.
But the last month SHOULD be a serious wake-up call to Wizards of the Coast.

Daggerheart won't kill DnD - but in the long run, corporate complacency might
Dungeons and Dragons is too ubiquitous for one challenger to dethrone it, but Daggerheart shows it has to fight harder to keep its crown.

Coolest thing I've seen at Salute today: this minis version of the classic early-80s Atari arcade game Battlezone. Not the digital-to-tabletop adaptation I'd expected to find, but wow.

Fantastic interview by @tjohnlinward.bsky.social with the creator of @zeogenesis.com - a comprehensive reality check from the tabletop industry to everyone whose answer to tariffs is "just build american".
Trump is torpedoing his entire economy - even those manufacturing in the USA.

Just build it in America? Industry veteran Daniel Block has built a factory so he can make his new wargame @zeogenesis.com on American soil - he explains why tariffs put it all in jeopardy: www.wargamer.com/zeo-genesis/...

Hot new wargame Zeo Genesis is all-American - but tariffs could still kill it.
Daniel Block “simply would not have started” his ambitious American miniature making company if Trump’s tariffs had been in place earlier.

I *will* die on the hill that Magnus did wrong. Ignorance is not a defence when you're a demigod psychic genius.
Did Magnus *really* do nothing wrong? As ever, you decide - and read our guide to help you choose.
But also, yes, he did wrong. A LOT of wrong. 🔗⬇️

Having recently had a new tattoo on my ankle, I'm currently limited to showers.
I canonically have worse self-care than a Space Marine.

As everyone knows, #Warhammer40k is very serious and dark and no-one ever smiles or has a good time. Now here's an article about #SpaceMarines who canonically love nice big baths:
Warhammer 40k: Why are so many Space Marines obsessed with baths?
Even in the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40,000 galaxy, people need to wash, and The Iron Snakes and Blood Angels take it to extremes.

Say what you want, but I think this story is *wild*, and should be a concern for us in the #warhammercommunity.
A Russian army supplier is making real, actual #warhammer40k purity seals, *blessed by priests*, for its troops in #ukraine.
Here's why you can't convince me that isn't goddamn terrifying.🔗⬇️

The Russian army’s religious Warhammer 40k cosplay chills me to the bone
Warhammer 40,000 is dystopian fiction - so when Russia says it’s issuing real, priest-blessed 40k purity seals to soldiers, it scares me.
