Strain 74-YOR

Episode description

- Jimmy’s new March of the Gatekeeper run, involving all walking, using photomode mod to make his character look like the Gatekeeper, and also using a mod to Poorly Translate as much game text as possible

- TTRPG Updates: D&D Open Gaming License debacle possibly affecting TTRPG. However, Brandon on the Star Anvil Discord server says:

Jan 5th: “So far from what I have seen we will be fine. Of course we are continuing to monitor. We are also finishing the work. While we have no intention on changing anything at this time, we do have a back up plan if the world falls apart with 5e. One way or another there will be a TSW game.” and  “There are other systems and options. This one is the one we promised, so barring legal shenanigans, it's what we will deliver.

But if it went crazy with power on WotC end we can still make the game.”

Jan 13th: “Had a great call with Funcom this morning. Got some higher level details of the setting and great feedback on our work so far. They were super helpful and offered insights to help us better frame the story as we finish the book writing up. Onward we go!”

Jan 15th: “[Secret World TTRPG] was designed using 5e. We are watching the updates and will make a final decision when we have all the information we need. We still have a little ways before we have to make a final call on that.”
