We finally got the Stupid Nightreign Goat. FINALLY. We had done every other boss apart from the very end one. Just gave up on the Stupid Nightreign Goat because it was awful. And we finally got it.

DriveThruRPG has launched a new program to sell publishers' offset books and other physical products. It's a boon to smaller creators, but also further consolidation for the one of the hobby's largest digital platforms.
DriveThruRPG is now selling offset print books in the US
A step towards consolidating digital and physical tabletop RPG sales.

Sam Pearson's video on meaningful player choice is excellent. It really codifies things that a lot of designers know but find hard to express in an accessible way, and some may not have found the structures to explore in their work. Hype about other episodes in the series! youtu.be/LmVsDep7x90?...
