What I'm doing I do because I love it and I want to laud incredible hard working artists. I have no plans to drag people through the mud publicly even if they deserve it. That's just not what I want my image to be.
But some people test me.

In any incident where your faith in an artist is broken and you are looking to support another, particularly victims of the harm said artist had perpetuated: consider buying their work, sending them money. A simple follow on their social media isn't going to cut it.

I've been saying for years that TTRPG mirrors the literary world in the amount of work people put into obscuring their backgrounds.
3/ Partly because as soon as you raise it, two main tactics are used.
People start screaming about doxxing. Sorry, but while I'd rather you were just honest about this, pointing out who your family are or what your day job is isn't doxxing and can be pertinent information.

I am really excited for Cole and Kyle to be branching out this way. I have nothing but admiration for the skill and craft they bring to the field. I believe this change will best serve the audience of Oath and Arcs. I am excited to see what both organizations can accomplish. Good luck Cole and Kyle.
I have an important announcement. Kyle and I are going to be leaving Leder Games to start a new venture. It has been an honor to spend the past eight years working with them. We wish them all the best of luck, and cannot wait to show you what we are working on next.
