I’ve now lived so much longer than I would ever have expected to that I feel I’m living in the future. This is when I imagined Neuromancer happening. And now the creators of today’s AI warn us that it threatens humanity.

Books that I’d Love to See as Tabletop Role-playing Games
Every now and again, I write a post about tabletop role-playing games. The thing I most appreciate about TTRPGs is the way they invite multiple people to tell a story together. At its heart, gaming…

"You can’t just throw new people at that problem": Bethesda devs doubt future Elder Scrolls and Fallout games will have the same "quality level", after losing seasoned staff to Xbox cuts
"It never made any sense": Bethesda staff hit by Xbox cuts thought the Skyrim and Fallout link would protect them, and say the studio's future RPGs will suffer.

System Message: A Champion Has Fallen.

Today, the man who taught an entire generation that villains should be theatrical, seductive, terrifying, and impeccably dressed has died. The Dungeon mourns the loss of Tim Curry.

A voice has gone quiet. A legend has left the stage. Somewhere in the cosmic dark, a suspiciously fabulous laugh echoes one final time.

All Crawlers who choose to continue rather than accept a deal will receive 1946 gold, one Legendary Charisma Box, and a temporary +10 bonus to Performance checks when delivering a monologue while dramatically turning away from your enemies.

Don't dream it. Be it.
