Before you ask: yes we know about the way that Wizards of the Coast have been acting, starting with the Game Licence thing, and ending with the Pinkertons, and by god, that is quite the nose dive there isn’t it.

Now since the beginning of this show, back when it was still the pipe dream of a bunch of kids, we had always intended to use a the platform we’re trying to create to highlight games beyond those that are most visible to the public and, inevitably, that would mean stepping outside the very helpful spotlight created by the likes of WOTC and Critical Role and finding and playing other games. As a part of this goal we have been collecting other game systems to play while planning and creating this show.

We chose to start with D&D 5e because you, the viewers, and we the players are most familiar with it. this offers us some benefits both in spreading this show to as wide a group as possible, and made it most easy to focus on the production of the show without having to second guess ourselves about the rules, setting, or gameplay ensuring this will be enjoyable to all those involved.

All that being said, we have stopped purchasing WOTC products with the only money they receive from us is a DND Beyond subscription if only because those resources are invaluable in running a smooth game and making sure that everyone is on the same page regarding statistics and game rules.

anyway of you’ve read this far, I think you must understand where we are coming from and willing to take a chance on us, and for that, we thank you. We hope you enjoy the show, and stick with us for the long run.
