One of the biggest pitfalls for novice game masters of any tabletop RPG is knowing how and when to say no to players.

Yesterday, I wrote a couple of posts about WoW Classic and the Season of Mastery, went downstairs and fed my cats and made breakfast for my wife, and looked outside at the snow that’s literally everywhere because I live in Edmonton, which becomes Hoth in winter. Then I decided to sleep, because I’d written a bunch and I was tired and I figured it would be a nice, quiet day on the site and I needed some catch up sleep pretty badly.

So yeah. That’ll learn me. I’m never sleeping again.

I don't know if it would work, but between Mythic+ dungeons, World Quests, and the way Torghast apes Nephalem Rifts, there's already quite a bit of Diablo 3 in World of Warcraft nowadays.

Earlier this year, Activision Blizzard was sued by California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing over allegations of workplace discrimination and a culture of sexual harassment and unfair compensation for women.

I hear the phrase "The game respects your time" more and more lately, and it's something I think about a lot.

In patch 9.2, we'll be going to Zereth Mortis, because we want to stop Zovaal the Jailer from remaking the entire cosmos into a place he rules and everyone is his slave, kind of like what he's done to Anduin on a metaphysical scale.

Yeah, we’re going to be doing the last session for my Riatan campaign next week, so I’m working on things like the stats for the machine gun that Mischief our Rogue picked up. Just as an aside, yes, it’s the Revenant from Mass Effect 2, and yes, it really does 4d20 damage per attack.

Anyway, it’s Friday, I’m covering the Queue, let’s get our Queue on shall we?

Laudna in Critical Role's Campaign 3 is absolutely my favorite new character, and I'm ecstatic any time Marisha gets to ham it up on the show, like when she introduced us to Laudna's dead rat Pate de Rolo.

Both Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 are likely going to be out sometime in 2023.

It’s still the best Assassin’s Creed game, and one of the best single player RPG experiences of the past ten years. So yeah, I started a new playthrough. In 2021. In late 2021. Gotta say, the plague scenes in Athens hit differently now.
