Dorian Roepel @dorianmanyhats.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is out and it's my most anticipated game of the year. Was hoping for a key to review the game.

Dorian Roepel @dorianmanyhats.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I would really like to be part of a live streamed D&D game. One where we can go to small theaters one day and just have fun telling stories as creators and storytellers. Nothing crazy like Critical Role, just doing it for the love of telling a shared story. I love being creative. 000

Dorian Roepel @dorianmanyhats.bsky.social · 02/07/2026In the world of news, this is known as a developing story.

Dorian Roepel @dorianmanyhats.bsky.social · 16/06/2026It's time to cut out and just focus on games. Xbox has the power to support indie creators and publisher their games.
