Okay, I'm a long time fan of Exalted, the game originally made by White Wolf and now maintained by Onyx Path, which is a roleplaying game about the mythic past where nearly divine beings called Exalted helped shape the destiny of creation.

When you're watching what is essentially a promotional trailer for an upcoming project, you expect it to be effusive in its praise and to try and hype up what it is talking about, so when I started watching The Legend of the Design of the Legend of Vox Machina I figured it would be them talking up the design process.

Fantasy as a genre, especially fantasy gaming -- whether it be tabletop or computer -- is dominated by a tradition derived from Tolkien, a sort of mashup of various European sources.

We've seen Warcraft TTRPGs and board games, and now World of Warcraft is making the move to tabletop strategy gaming.

Hot on the heels of Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft and the best year for sales D&D has ever seen, we're informed that Wizards of the Coast is still bringing out two classic D&D campaign settings in 2021.

I sometimes think hype can hurt as much as it helps a game.
