Here’s a fun announcement: Rebel.pl, the official Polish publishers of Dungeons & Dragons, have licensed Act I of the Avernus Remix, translated and adapted it into Polish, and released it as an official PDF sidekick for the campaign.
This is really cool for me because it’s technically my first official D&D book.
If you’re Polish, it’s cool for you because I’m sure it’s an awesome book for your campaign! (I, unfortunately, do not understand a word of Polish. So if you do, let us know how they did!)
If you’re not Polish, this is cool for you because this PDF includes a bunch of original graphical resources and maps that you may find useful for your Descent Into Avernus or Baldur’s Gate-based campaigns.
Justin Alexander is one of the most prolific and insightful RPG writers around. Between his long-running blog at The Alexandrian, his work at Atlas Games, his hundreds of published books and articles, he has among the most in-depth knowledge of what makes for great gaming. And right now he’s been following the drama with WOTC trying to break the OGL 1.0 as close as anyone. What’s Justin’s outlook for the future of Open Gaming and Atlas Games?
Wandering DMs Paul Siegel and Dan “Delta” Collins host thoughtful discussions on D&D and other TTRPGs every week. Comparing the pros and cons of every edition from the 1974 Original D&D little brown books to cutting-edge releases for 5E D&D today, they broadcast live on YouTube and Twitch so we can take viewer questions and comments on the topic of the day. Live every Sunday at 1 PM Eastern time.
After the bombshell report by friend-of-the-show Linda Codega on Wizards of the Coast’s disastrous new version of the Open Gaming License, we discuss the controversy with two guests: Justin Alexander and LegalKimchi. We dive into what the Open Gaming License (OGL) is, its history and context, the legal issues raised by the new document, why no company in their right mind will sign the new license, the reasoning that may be guiding WotC’s decision, and where companies and fans can go from here.
There are a lot of ways to keep up with all the new stuff I do (including the RSS feed, following on Patreon, joining the Alexandrian Discord, or following on Twitter), but we’re designing our mailing list to be the authoritative index, including:
links to every Alexandrian article
links to patron-exclusive content
Youtube videos
Twitch highlights
new projects from Atlas Games
new projects from Dream Machine Productions
my appearances on podcasts, actual plays, and other content around the ‘net
translations of Alexandrian articles into other languages
plus the super secret, triple NDA-locked projects I can’t even talk about yet!
“But wait!” the informercial man who has suddenly broken into my office says. “There’s more!”
The monthly newsletter will also feature exclusive early access to community content in a cool PDF.
If you want to add the very first PDF to your collection, join the mailing list now at the link below! If all goes well, it will be going out this weekend.
