White Wolf just told the alt-right to f*ck off
White Wolf has been riding a rough PR storm of late. Problems started when they announced Zak Sabbath was a writer on Vampire: the Masquerade.

Can Pathfinder 2nd edition catch up with Dungeons & Dragons on Twitch?
At the start of the month Paizo Publishing announced Pathfinder 2. We’ve already asked one question about the timing with “has Pathfinder 2e come too soon after Starfinder?” but there’s an equally important one. Have they left it too late?

The big press release from the two companies says that the Pathfinder, Worldscape and Starfinder marathon kicks off off tomorrow, October 11th, at 11am Pacific Time on the Official Paizo Twitch stream.
