Wizards of the Coast announced today that it has purchased digital toolset D&D Beyond, inspiring many people to DM me and ask "didn't they already own this?" And heck, it's not like they weren't aware that people thought this, because D&D Beyond's own announcement says the site is "formally joining Wizards of the Coast" rather than framing it as a surprise acquisition: Dungeons & Dragons and D&D Beyond have always felt like a part of the same family.

Sorry, kids. Looks like time broke in 2020. We’re stuck in Groundhog Day: The Groundhog Year, forever repeating the same pandemic, the same chaos, the same crisis after crisis after crisis. The events change, but the song remains the same as we repeat 2020 forever. Heck, they’re even calling it 2022, as in 2020 2 — it’s a sequel no one asked for.

It’s the Queue. It’s 2020 2: Less Than Electric Boogaloo. Let’s do.

A series of changes came to Greater Rifts in Diablo 3 patch 2.7.3 just ahead of the start of Season 26 that should make getting to the Rift Guardian a little faster, without the tedium of chasing monsters down the endless corridors of maps like the Hidden Aqueducts.

As discussion topics go, a question as broad as Why do you play video games feels like it has an almost unlimited array of answers — but I think there's value in an open ended question.

This month -- the 19th, to be exact -- we're expecting a World of Warcraft expansion announcement.

This weekend's Blizzard Watch D&D game is going to be a fun time as we dive into session four of our Into The Weirs game.

One thing I've always wanted to change about WoW is the idea that certain classes can only be played by specific races.

I suppose there’s a kind of irony in an insomniac oversleeping the day he has to write the Queue.

Anyway, I did that, and now here I am trying to get this done super fast.

Diablo 3 Season 25 ends on April 10, and now we know that the next Season will follow quickly on its heels: Season 26 begins on Friday, April 15, just five days later.

Yeah, tomorrow is that day.

Today, however, we’re still operating under normal internet rules… so really, nothing much changes? Sorry, don’t mean to be cynical, just very aware that the internet is often a scary place.

It’s the Queue. I’m listening to Celldweller’s End of an Empire and thinking about the next session of the D&D game I’m co-running for the Tavern Watch crew.
