Hell yeah, any game that lists Dragon Inn, One-Armed Swordsman, and Come Drink With Me among its inspirations gets a thumbs-up from me. And the best part is -- I apparently backed it! Sometimes it's hard to keep these things straight.

First time applying transfers to a mini! Not as stressful as I thought it would be! 😃

Bandai showed off a really cool 30 Minute Fantasy diorama at 30ML Fed in Taipei! If there was ever a sign that I need to keep advancing my design work on STRIKE/POSE, this is it! danielhkwan.itch.io/strikepose

Ross Rifles spotted at Athena Games in Norwich! Always a treat seeing one of the first TTRPGs I designed at an LGS! 📷 @gamewithbeef.bsky.social

I just had the sudden realization that STRIKE/POSE can basically function as an Escaflowne-scale skirmish game 😆

My heart aches for my affected coworkers—every single person impacted by these layoffs is a stellar colleague and friend of mine. Lots of folks will be looking for soft landing places and support in this time—be on the lookout if you can help. paizo.com/blog/paizo-r...

I guess I can say it now: I'm one of the folks hit by the Paizo layoffs. My last day will be in early July. I'm devastated. I love the folks I've worked with the past three years. I love the fans. I love the games we made. If you have an opening for a remote editor, I'd love to hear from you.

We’re planning a follow up episode on race and monstrosity in D&D! Hit us with your burning questions about the topic!

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: Where do orcs REALLY come from? Daniel and Drew sat down with Dr. Christopher LeCluyse, author of the upcoming book "Race & Monstrosity in Dungeons & Dragons", to trace how 2,000+ years of racialized thinking became embedded in the DNA of fantasy gaming! 🎧 pod.link/1429004408

RIP John Blanche, a legend in the tabletop wargaming industry. His work defined the look and feel of Warhammer!
