End of a glorious era. Thanks for all the good times - it’s has been an absolute pleasure working with you on all those books over the years. I will miss your insights and wild creativity!

I recall it being almost completely unplayable and yet utterly terrifying

Nice, I'm glad it's been helpful! I ran my current ToA group through it fairly recently, and it definitely shook up the campaign in a big way :)

Sadly, I think this is just the thin end of the wedge for what the industry is going to throw at us this year.

For some reason, your love of those games has always stuck in my mind, so the first thing I thought when I heard the news was "Jonathan will be sad about this" :(

I loved that table too :) And yes - the map in Witchlight was very much a homage to Glitterdust!

That bay in the corner is inspired by a beach called Holywell - another nod to my upbringing in Cornwall. As a kid I always imagined those rocks were the ears of monstrous submerged giant!

Excellent, glad to hear that it winged its way into your game!

I’ve not tried those, I will seek them out. The Prydain books are great for their thoughtful take on heroism, making it more about selflessness than swinging a sword. Well worth revisiting!
