Wizards of the Coast decisions, licensing fights, publisher announcements, crowdfunding that matters, and whatever the OSR is arguing about this week. Dated sources, named names, and what it means for the people who play and publish old-school games. Sources are linked in every description.

Hosted by Erik Tenkar, retired NYPD investigative sergeant, playing D&D since 1979 and covering the OSR since 2009.
