Meh.
And Wizards is famous for Magic.
TSR created D&D.
Wizards just bought them after years of mismanagement.

Forgot all about that game. The release window is 2026, so I'll probably forget all about it again.

But I would rather play the video game in which I have to face the harshness of this world and maybe even change it.
Maybe if there was something like Activist VR where you protest in front of a Tesla dealership, throw bricks at the White House lawn, throw dog shit at cops, protest in front of Zhongnanhai against communism and for the democracy in China, protest on the Red Square against Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
I guess it tells a lot about our times when there is no such game.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

A youtuber named dr lupo just got caught cheating in a chess tournament called pogchamps, after denying it for a while.
I'm skeptical of anything to do with influencers and youtubers, he could have just done this for publicity, I'd never heard of him before this but this got me to click on some of his videos.
The cheating was nowhere near subtle or clever, he played shit and lost his queen then followed up with the very best computer evaluated moves until he won by checkmate.
Things like this just make me more skeptical of cheating and deception in general.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
