So anyway, I'm continuing to talk about the same thing that I've talked about many times before. More evidence. This is what I'm talking about. This is more evidence of the risks of centralized services being required for running your D&D game. And there's a solution to that. And that solution is be less resilient on any one platform. Use physical books.

all that stuff separate. And we use discord for our chat. And we would use discord to sit, to, to move stuff back and forth. We could have used a bunch of different possible platforms for the voice communication, but I had totally separate tools. And that meant all of them. And some of those are very reliable. Like physical books are very reliable, right?

And I think that this is an example of that case where we're watching companies making priority decisions, giving us corporate speak about how they have different priorities. The reality is we want to focus on this one over here because it's a great big hit. We don't want to focus on that one because we don't know how well it's going to sell. That's the answer.

This past weekend, I had a really awesome time over at the Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo. I wanted to share some of my experiences there, kind of talk about some of the things that had happened, some of the things that I sort of picked up while I was there and just share, talk about Paige. Paige did invite me as a special guest.
