  • Fun group, not too bright

    2025 still whining about evil white people. Still crying about black victimhood and still hilariously butthurt by JK Rowling saying objective truths; calling facts hate.

    Something wrong with their brains.

An Interview with Paul Dennen
Q: How did D&D influence your game designs if it did, and did that play into the theme of Clank in a way?

There is such a thing as too many heavy games.
