Kickstarter hires new CEO: After Aziz Hasan announced he was stepping down this past March, Kickstarter has hired Everette Taylor as their new CEO. Taylor spoke with Dicebreaker and attempted to clear the air around Kickstarter’s ill-fated blockchain announcement, along with what’s going on with the games division after the departure of former Games head Anya Combs for Backerkit. With both Taylor and new games head Jon Ritter-Roderick hired after the commencement of Zinequest this year, it’s still anyone’s guess as to how Kickstarter is going to approach this segment going forward.

Brotherwise Games to release a Stormlight Archive RPG in 2024: Building on the massive success of Brandon Sanderson’s book Kickstarter and their existing efforts with games set in the Cosmere, Brotherwise Games has announced that they will be releasing a role-playing game based on the books of Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series. What’s interesting about this is that Brotherwise has no current RPG portfolio, being mostly known for their board games like Call to Adventure and Boss Monster. There has been immediate speculation as to whether the game would be 5E-based or use a custom ruleset like the extant Mistborn Adventure Game, written by Crafty Games. Johnny O’Neal of Brotherwise Games has written for Dragon Magazine in the past, but considering how little we know at this juncture, that isn’t a strong indication of anything. There is also some question as to why the project didn’t go to Crafty Games, but the reception of the Mistborn Game was certainly not glowing enough to guarantee their return.
