    [WIR] The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

    That is theblokg and the short of the flaws of the films as an adaptation...but somewhat inevitable, given the transition to theatrical film. A slower paced multiseason TV show could capture the vibe a lot better. Lord of the Rings is, secretly, a fantastic poetry anthology. Some people will...

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    When they tested the more explicit and crunchy "Class Groups" for 2024, Artificer were called out as Experts, like Bard, Ranger, or Rogue.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock Video Game Announced by Invoke Studios

    WotC has been extremely aggressive about hiring talent with a track record and giving them big budgets and long development windows...seems 2027 is goijg to be the proof of concept on whether that paid off.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock Video Game Announced by Invoke Studios

    Yeah, it's going to be years before we hear anything about that. To an extent, it isn't entirely fair to compare Tuque Games when they made Dark Alliance ro when they were making this. They triple their staff and spent six years making it, so it may fail but it will at least be something different.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock Video Game Announced by Invoke Studios

    Suddenly, I have a working hypothesis as to why Tuque Games rebranded to Invoke Studios early in the development of this game.

    D&D 5E (2024) Wizards of the Coast promises to release more “CRPGs that are going to be as serious as BG3” without Larian

    Big Venn diagram overlap for those two interests. The dating Sim side is sort of a "social combat" I guess?

    Wizards of the Coast Releases Exodus TTRPG

    Not really available in retail yet, not sure what their plan is on that front. Thing is, stuff like making a TTRPG or writing a novel can be done way quicker than building a video game, so it seems that a lot of their side stuff is just ready way early compared to the game, and honestly it is...

    Sure, bit then I don't think there are a lotnof filmmakers out there with a record like Gunn's.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock Video Game Announced by Invoke Studios

    Seems thst Invoke has mostly staffed up by hiring former Ubisoft employees...which makes sense, since this is being made in Montreal.

    Wizards of the Coast Releases Exodus TTRPG

    The novel is worth reading. They have brought a unique energy to the world building, at least: like a Gygaxian AD&D in space...

    Wizards of the Coast Releases Exodus TTRPG

    I mean, the length of time they have taken is actually encouraging: 5 or 6 years to make a video game is normal in this day and age.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock Video Game Announced by Invoke Studios

    Yeah, they hired a lot of new people, and have 6 years to make the game. Certainly not impossible they could have cooked something worthwhile with time, talent, and money.

    Yup, only writer to write official material for 1E, 2E, 3E, 3.5, 4E, 2014, and 2024

    WotC New WotC Game Design Director for Dungeons & Dragons: Justice Ramin Arman

    Hopefully payscale. But I reckon this means he filling the role Jeremy Crawford and Mike Mearls have previously.
