Christian Thoma @Kalcheus — Christian lives in North Carolina with his wife (gorgeous), son (lovable), and dog (dozing). Better known as Kalcheus and occasionally Chrth, he has been playing World of Warcraft since 2008 and is just as bad now as when he started. A huge fan of D&D since the red box days, he is currently in therapy for his crippling addiction to Norse-themed 5E campaign settings. Stuff he writes that isn't good enough for BlizzardWatch gets dropped off at Kalcheus.com instead.


The Queue: Not just a sword

The newest weekly quest from High Speaker Brinthe to collect 100 titan disc fragments had a very interesting revelation that I’m not going to get into because it wouldn’t be fair as many people haven’t had a chance to complete it yet. But I recommend doing so as they’re dropping some ginormous hints about what the ultimate culmination plot of the Worldsoul Saga will be.

What I particularly like is that while the gears in my head were turning they were turning in Dagran’s head too. All too often we see major NPCs hold tight to the idiot stick when there’s a lore reveal that holds major implications, but it seems at least one major character won’t be dumbfounded when this new tidbit pays off in The Last Titan.

Of course, that’s two expansions and a few years from now, but there may be a quiz in a fortnight so pay attention! While we all sharpen our #2 pencils, let’s answer some questions about the here and now!


The Queue: We’re supposed to save princesses, not slay them

Tomorrow sees the release of Slay the Princess — Pristine Cut, an updated version of the game (included for free if you already own it!) that expands the original with both “new” princesses and more fleshed-out paths for other princesses. It will also be releasing on consoles for the first time, now available on Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox. This was my “Game of the Year” for 2023 and I’m super-excited to have a chance to Slay — or Save — the Princess again.

It’s kind of hard to really describe the game without getting into spoilers but if you’re a fan of spooky games that tend to be on the psychological side then Slay the Princess is most likely right up your alley. There are numerous choices you can make that can radically alter the game, and once you finish you’ll want to play it again (and again) to see what other fates there are to experience.

While we spend hours agonizing over whether we should bring the knife down with us to the basement, let’s answer some questions!
