Top News Stories
WotC Removes Digital Content Team Credits From D&D Beyond: As reported from some of the team members, Wizards of the Coast has removed the names of the digital content team from its credits in online materials. Considering how little it takes to include the names of everyone who worked on the product in that product, especially when Wizards had already excluded the team from physical releases, it does appear that WotC has taken the bar which is already so low it’s underground and still tripped over it.
From the Archives
After being out of print for quite some time, MIT Press has begun to republish Jon Peterson’s seminal RPG history Playing at the World. On July 30th, the first volume of ‘Playing at the World 2E’ will be released, covering the first half of the original book (which if you recall weighed in at over 700 pages). The second volume will be out next April. In celebration of this return, let’s dive into the archives and check out the original Cannibal Halfling review of Playing at the World.
Discussion of the Week
Folks who consistently play RPGs: how?: Finding a group and playing regularly is a big obstacle in the hobby, and there are many more people who want to play in regular groups than are able to. This thread goes over a lot of tips for having a successful RPG group in terms of logistics and getting a group together.
