Hello Everyone,
Well, 2023 has started with a bang in the world of Tabletop Gaming. The leak of Dungeon and Dragons ideas for making more money from the gaming population and the explosive reactions from the gaming community they didn’t expect. It’s created a rift between the WotC and the people who create adventures and game modules – you know, the people who have an interest in promoting official D&D. The Corporation folks running Wizards of the Coast have been digging themselves deeper and deeper each time they respond.
If you have not heard about this and want to know the details start with GIZMODO article:

Then follow that up with the next article from a few days later.

As I write this it is not clear what is going to happen over the next few weeks and months. It’s going to be a very interesting time. When the smoke clears it may reveal a whole new world.
While I am not sure if this is the best time to try and launch a new TTRPG, my plans are to continue forward with the game no matter what the tabletop gaming landscape looks like.
