Being able to support my friends who do fun stuff is good. ECS continues to run Pub League, a simple barely competitive set of two soccer leagues full of joy that embraces everyone. Once upon a time I sponsored them while I managed Sounder at Heart. Then I stopped because I didn’t manage Sounder at Heart. A year ago they had an empty slot that needed a sponsor. I was able to and that was when my team was a group of pirates. Last fall it was vampires. Now it’s the Almost Full 90 FC, inspired by the era when I was a teen with Trapper Keepers and Peechees playing D&D hiding my inner nerd...…Being able to support my friends who do fun stuff is good.

I’m one of those passive backers for most projects. For Tales of the Valiant I sent Kickstarter my money to send Kobold Press and then I waited. I did this because I have enough of their products that I know I will use them. Many of their dragon variants are part of my world right now. That also means I get fun surprises for their intermittent reveals, like the Eonics. This new lineage (their current term for race) is a bunch of time travellers who lost their ways on the time stream, now existing your D&D/Black Flag/5e world without the ability to get back to their normal time. They do...…I’m one of those passive backers for most projects. For Tales of the Valiant I sent Kickstarter my money to send Kobold Press and then I waited.

My experience with Dungeons & Dragons doesn’t go back to the beginning. That would be kind of hard, as I’m not 50. It does go back to some of my earliest memories. For me D&D always started as a storytelling game, probably because the way the first DM I played under introduced it to me. Derek convinced us to play because he was and is a storyteller. He knew that I loved The Hobbit, Narnia, King Arthur and Robin Hood. The pitch was simple — “Do you want to tell your own stories in the world?” The answer was simply “Yes.” We played with, those simple dice that needed a Crayon to color...…My experience with Dungeons & Dragons doesn’t go back to the beginning.

Giant Freaking Robot says that Netflix is in talks to bring Baldur’s Gate 3 to the screen. They don’t know if it would be a movie or a series yet, but the series makes more sense considering the amount of content in the video game. There’s already one Dungeons & Dragons show that’s been picked up by Paramount+. The Marshall Rawson Thurber project is in pre-production. Thurber is probably best known for Netflix’s Red Notice. Derek Kolstad, known for John Wick 1-3, is also writing and showrunning a different “untitled D&D” series. Kolstad’s project, but that may still be just a pitch,...…Giant Freaking Robot says that Netflix is in talks to bring Baldur’s Gate 3 to the screen.
