In the old days I'd have gotten boots on the ground; I'd have put signs on lawns; I'd have driven people to the polls. But what with the internet... In seriousness (as far as gaming can be serious), I hope you have a great run. Cleric/wild mage sounds like a unique build and rp opportunity. Enjoy!

Until Beatrix takes the lead.

I’m in camp Beatrix, and I plan to vote early and often.

A country song about the Underdark needs to be a thing.

P.S. - I hope you and your families are all doing well. I raise a toast to you all. 🍾

You folks are so much more interesting than me, what with your varied gaming repertoires. I only ever play the BG games anymore, and I haven't even done much of that this fall/winter, due to some really crappy stuff that happened. Having said that, it's probably time to roll a blackguard, being...

There are hints of new games, as @Antimatter has alluded to, so one assumes there would have been a provisional contract of some sort. That would truly be a disaster. Let’s hope Hasbro/WoTC are at least smart enough to understand that. Larian is the goose that laid the golden egg here.

@Zaxares I had a feeling that would be the case. It seems that the stupidity of management defies comprehension more often than not. Couple that with greed and the erosion of antitrust law and enforcement, and we have a world that's going to hell.

I assume there will still be a new game, as the Larian/D&D formula looks like a licence to print money. There will just be fewer people to work on it from the Wizards end, thanks to this heart-warming decision by Hasbro - right before Christmas, no less.

@Antimatter That's terrible. I think this forum needs a 'sad' reaction button. Is this one of those layoffs that's really about maintaining grotesque profit margins, rather than maintaining solvency?

I’m still not bringing up the subject of Krogan politics.

I, for one, think your vision is appealing. I just don't think it's likely, given both human nature and the fact that the most powerful forces in the world are aligned to make sure it doesn't happen. As for the video - that's fascinating stuff. The critique of the filter bubble theory and...

Believe it or not, this happens all the time. I worked in corporate communications for many years, and you’d be surprised just how often responses to major incidents and blunders look like the case studies of epic failure you see in crisis management textbooks.

I actually think this is hilarious. That bit about the first astronauts finding nothing on the moon but not being bored is pure gold. 😂

Once again, job losses. And nothing will be free - it’s just going to cost more and more. Grocery prices haven’t dropped with the advent of self checkout.

I'm younger than her, and I'm dual-wielding butter knives these days - spatulas for blunt. Maybe I'm just an underachiever, though. 😂

Thank you!!! 🍻🍻

Good questions! Hmm... Until this moment I'd never heard of Dave the Diver, so I can't answer that one. Larian is an interesting case as they're a big studio (big enough to produce AAA games, as you say), but not quite big enough to be classified as a big corp. Could you say they're on their...
