I mean, it's hard to go wrong with two of the greatest cRPG franchises :) As far as EQ2, yeah, people forget that it came out same day as WoW, and was the bigger MMO brand at the time. I wasn't an EQ guy, but I fell in love with the graphics, and ended up playing for 10 years.

In Pathfinder Kingmaker, there is a quest related to one of the companions to recover a lost printing press. I don't think the press itself has a graphic in the game, but it's used to establish a printing house.

They're still doing some sporadic fiction like the Fallbacks, and the Astarion book, and i think there was a ravenloft book maybe.

I need to decide exactly how many stickers of this I am going to buy.
A cat princess is looking out from a tower, scowling.  At the base of the tower, a cat in a cape has set up a kanban board labeled "RESCUING THE PRINCESS MVP" With "To Do", "Doing" and "Done" columns, which he's moving cards  between. 

The  Princess's speech bubble:  'OMG JUST DO SOMETHING'

Ehm, i gave up on them when Marner left. (He had to go, but he was the only one i enjoyed watching.) They should to be better with the #1 pick and goalie Bob. I'm a but disillusioned with hockey after several years of teams winning just by intentionally injuring players. Fuck that.

Bite-Sized Gaming - back before it was acquired WoGD - gave me a couple of my early writing opportunities. I'm so sad to see a name I think of so fondly be associated with that guy and all this douchebaggery and AI slop. why do people....grrr.

Went to local board game night yesterday and had a great time playing Gallieo Galilei! I've been meaning to get out and do more public play, and board games seem an easier fit than ttrpgs right now.

Brilliant game. I hope folks who dig Zero Company graduate to it after. The variety of mechanics and how they let you approach the mission differently, and respond to situations is just top notch.

Random thought: I wonder if people whose dating profile shows them lounging on a boat are aiming to imply that they're looking for a someone with a boat or imply that they own a boat.

On vacation, but swung by the FLGS - as one does. This time it's Heroes Beacon in Saint John. They have a great ttrpg selection, and I grabbed a copy of Arcana Unleashed.

On today's episode of "Small Wins" - Freedom Domain designed and tweeted out by D&D team, not the white house.

Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
100% agree. Those cantrips basically made it somewhat interesting for your long wait to 17, but it always needed more meat early on. IMO, they've not fixed that issue, and the cantrips no longer being a differentiator just took away what little it already had.
010
Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Really, the big bonus of this domain was being able to use BB and GFB on a cleric. Now that any cleric can get wizard cantrips, that base feature is meaningless, the domain spells just don't give you enough to build around.

Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Arcana Domain is such a disappointment. With every class having access to free Magic Initiate: Wizard at creation, getting two Wizard cantrips until I get more wizard spells at level 17 just isn't much. I wish they'd just let you pick 1 wiz spell every level. Esp. with SCAG cantrips not coming back.

Wait, but what if the stairs are one of those endless optical illusions, and the giant is just endlessly rolling those boulders up. This location would be a [wait for it] geek tragedy.
