Sadly RZM didnt get into MAGFest's tabletop showcase this year. It derailed our original 27 plans but we've decided to take this opportunity to regroup and rethink. And in 27 we're gonna get into content to better improve Chroniclers outreach.

Look no further for evidence that paramount has no idea what it's doing and should not be trusted with literally anything

My current design project (to be announced, it's a side thing Chronicler isn't going anywhere) is heavy on cards. I see the goal posts, then completely voluntarily I move them myself by adding more cards. And then I get upset at myself for doing that to me. #TheCreativeProcess

I'm once again begging people to stop engaging with D&D, or any Hasbro product if you actually care about pushing back against "the corporate elite".

Maybe job sites should do better filtering. If a job post says it requires 8+ years of experience, its not "entry level" now is it.

4 hours later, I have a full ready-to-use Skyrim Loading Screen photoshop template file up and ready. It doesn't have EVERY single loading screen image, but a selection of about 100 from screenshots I took myself over the years for this very purpose.

I played Rocket League last night and the amount of vitriol in casual matchmaking is why I don't play games like Rocket League very often.

Chronicler will be here and doing demos! Get a hands on experience with the current PnP Delve module, see the Battle Module, and get a sneak peak at the newly finished Reign module before it drops.

There's plenty of talk of Dr. Franknfurter, Muppet Treasure Island, and It as there should be. But theres 2 characters Tim Curry voiced I'll never forget either. Professor Finbar Calamitous and Lord Draganus

If we're allowed some kind of audience with our creator when we die I'm going to ask why they allowed Animorphs to be buried in favor of Harry Potter. K.A. Applegate is a treasure and J.K. Rowling is a living mold spore

I am over the friggin moon man. Commissioned @neralis.bsky.social to do some stained glass style artwork for the back of the Chronicler cards and they absolutely KILLED it. This is why you pay real artists yall, they communicative and collaborative and the end result speaks for itself.
A render of the backs of cards for Chronicler. It features a stained glass design with a knight on one end and a mage mirrored on the other, both on horseback. A moon with the chronicler logo is in the middle and the border features a full set of dice in the corners.

A screenshot of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, of the player talking to Martin Septim in the main hall of Cloud Ruler Temple, which is almost entirely constructed out of wood in a fantasy feudal Japanese style of architecture. Martin is a simple white man in grey robes and neck-length brown hair.

All the people who are anti-Wii U or want to slow Wii U progress, we have one question: if the Wii U disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through a work day without Ultra Smash, Amiibo Festival, or any other Wii U title? Imagine the Wii U was suddenly banned. Would you actually give it up?

It's wild to me how readily I enjoyed spending a little money each month only ESO. Not a fortune or anything just small amounts of crowns for content. And now I won't be doing that. At least not till we get a new definitive roadmap and guaranteed protections for the rest of the staff.

The Departure by Thomas Cole I stumbled on this in searching for public domain art for Chronicler. It's really stuck with me ever since. I was so interested I learned more about Thomas Cole and his work. I hope to see this painting in person some day.

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...
Yesterday’s layoffs at Bethesda Games Studios were not a cut of “14 layers of management”. We lost dozens of programmers, artists, designers and testers. Many of whom worked at BGS for decades.

If Bethesda fans are worried this will harm the quality of our future games, like TES VI, let Microsoft know!
