Out of morbid curiosity, I picked up a copy of The Laundry by Cubicle 7. Despite it using the rule system I designed, and copy pasting thousands of words I wrote, I am not included anywhere in the credits. I also outlined the whole book and designed the character sheet. Oh well.

Its been a helluva 30 days, but we're almost there. I'm blown away by the support

When I set up the page for this it was over 180 days to go. That um... That went quick. Slightly terrified over here
Beyond the Woods launches on Kickstarter in 2 days, 1 hour, 51 minutes, and 53 seconds... But who's counting The Tír Nascath Setting Guide gives you inside knowledge on the secrets and history of the world and is packed with Irish inspired adventures and monsters! #dnd #dnd5e

NGL, this feels pretty great
Who's that on the cover of @TabletopMag ? It's only little old us! I had a great time chatting to Charlie about Beyond the Woods, Irish folklore, and taking the terrifying step to quit my job to found Old Oak Games! Check it out to read more of my ramblings #ttrpg #dnd #dnd5e

This time last year I was in a really bad place, suffering from depression, anxiety, & panic attacks due to an extremely toxic work environment. I am incredibly privileged that I had the emotional and financial support to be able to escape and found @OldOakGames Here's to 2025

A bit of reporting about the Wizards layoffs ahead of Hasbro announcing a $98 million dividend payout to stockholders.
Above the Table returns with more Fantasy and TTRPG news as today we look at even more layoffs hitting Wizards of the Coast and the Dungeons & Dragons team specifically despite some huge profits reported in Hasbro's latest earnings call.

For context, it's about 3k to fly first class from Ireland to the US, so each trip was about 6k, and it was 3 to 5 times a year

If you think WotC is an outlier for greed in the #ttrpg industry, you're sorely mistaken. A company I worked for in the past refused all staff raises cause they "couldn't afford it", while at the same time the CEO was flying 1st class to and from the US multiple times per year.

Really sad to hear about the layoffs at WoTC. I hope all of those affected move on to bigger and better things. I also really appreciate @enworldrpg calling WotC out with this rider at the end of their article

If your company's customer service is so bad that people track down former employees on Reddit to try to get answers, it might be time to take a look at yourself
