PIXEL REMASTER REMARKS: The release of Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster is finally upon us and Andrew has a few––very short––thoughts about it.

DOCTOR WHAT?: It was announced that––despite an existing tabletop role-playing game existing––there would be a new Doctor Who roleplaying game based on the fifth edition (5E) of Dungeons and Dragons. And people have opinions.

RELEVANT LINKS:

• The tweet from Cubicle 7 that started this entire mess:

We are delighted to announce that we are working on Doctors and Daleks – a new line of products that brings Doctor Who adventures to your table using 5th Edition rules! The first release – The Doctors and Daleks Player’s Guide will launch soon.

• One interesting take on the response to Cubicle 7’s announcement:

This is an important lesson everyone should be aware of.

When I first released my novels on Kindle, I'd get people every week saying "I refuse to give Amazon money! Where's the [weird e-reader I've never heard of] version?!
