A representative of my neighborhood stopped me on the street just now, told me the history of this strip, and handed me two hardcover novels I love being alive

this holiday season, please consider how lonely Crenshinibon, the evil Crystal Shard, must be and thank your lucky stars that you, too, are not an amoral magical object borne into being by a coven of seven evil liches

D&D 4th Edition Sickos: What's your favorite 4e Adventure?

I am in particular looking for something that showcases skill challenges.

I'm now open to work and looking for my next role as a Writer or Game Designer in games, now that my contract has ended.

I have worked on the award-nominated Civilization VII, and have many other indie and AA projects where I was responsible for content, systems and production.

My Discord server got me out of bed and consulting the tomes like A Wizard before 7am because they asked “what is a game“

I am unfortunately the kind of person who will say, “And another thing—“ out of nowhere and start talking about a topic that was open and shut two weeks ago.

If I had known The Fall of Blackbottom was releasing on the same day as the Summoner I would have made the combat encounters harder

In Loin du Feu, each adventure is illustrated by a different woman artist. That's 32 ready-to-play character sheets by 4 illustrators.
Want more numbers? We reached 93% of our campaign goal, and you have about 200 hours left to back it!

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

Chance was restless. She kept walking up to me, then walking back to her bed. burrowing under her blanket, then climbing out and repeating. I finally figured out she wanted us *both* to be under a blanket. Together.

Clemson Lam did the beautiful watercolor landscapes you'll see in #Pistolheart. He's also responsible for the best contract language I've ever written.

He had a very unique request when it came to payment to license his paintings.

Didn’t know Game Writing was a job, so I went into computer science so I could break into video games. Mentors advised me to “grow up” and pursue a “real job.” Graduated and lasted six months as an IT manager before losing my mind and joining a theater group. Meanwhile, I played a LOT of D&D.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?
