To call the Forsaken heroes is preemptive; perhaps their deeds will be few and worthless, or worse — they may be great, yet bring naught but ruin.

As for their past, speculate as you wish. At this point, neither you nor they can ever truly know.

Nick and Zach chatted with Tim from Wargamer, with only slightly-veiled smack-talk about other video game #TTRPG adaptions. Plus Covenants, Stamina Dice, Zach’s flailing attempts to convincing Nick to add multiplayer and our desire to recreate Patches.

I hate trying to do something I knew how to do a few years ago (make mockups) and struggle massively with it. Truly my brain is atrophying by the minute.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.
