  • The Price of Salvation: OGL and Absolution Flailing
    Jan 17 2023

    Halam'shivanas! Wizards of the Coast is learning that turning their backs on their userbase isn't such a good idea. The leak of their updated Open Game License is causing many in the TTRPG community to rise up in arms. Which is giving Paizo an opportunity to swoop in with their OWN License. Those who have the most to lose from the Wizards decision have made their own statements... And now, Wizards of the Coast is rollin' it all back.

    Meanwhile, UniFadewalker and Cafe3G flail wildly and break down the queerness, the story, the implications, and the LORE in the final three episodes of Dragon Age: Absolution!
