Send us a textWelcome to you heard it here last where we talk about news, you've already heard.We are starting with a special request from Christinahttps://www.mythicalmeats.com/snacks/dungeons-dragons-variety-pack/She sent me this link along with the following sentence; “I will say I just got a targeted ad for official D&D branded 'adventure snacks' and was overcome by the need to rant at Hasbro.”The Advertisement in question is for Mythical Meats (A bold name) and their “about page” says it all; “Fueled by a passion for jerky and a love for legendary creatures, we at Mythical Meats weren't content with the ordinary. We embarked on a quest, channeling our creative energy to transform exotic meats into the most beloved mythical beasts! From the fearsome Dragon and Yeti to the majestic Pegasus and Mermaid, our creatures cover land, sea, and sky. Each bite of our snack sticks is a delicious adventure, bursting with flavors inspired by our favorite fantastical beings.”For the D&D Branding each class has its own special jerky snack.Christina the floor is yours,[Kick to Christina]Continuing with our hatred of Hasbro we have another story about D&D.https://www.enworld.org/threads/wizards-of-the-coast-says-that-china-tariffs-will-have-minimal-impact-on-d-d.713072/Wizards of the Coast has announced that the ongoing trade issues with China will have minimal impact on Dungeons and Dragons.Now we have avoided discussing the Tariff's and Trade Issues on this show for a couple of reasons. One, avoid politics, it's a show killer and two, it's just too early to know exactly what kind of impacts the tariffs and trade issues will have in the long term.We have seen some smaller companies close recently and I know that many have struggled to figure out future printing options to avoid raising costs. But the Wizards of the Coast announcement just feels smarmy.Of course, the tariffs won't affect them. We have already shown that the vast amount of product they are selling is digital and not print. Tariffs have nothing to do with digital products. When everything you make is sold through D&D Beyond and your future is based on micro-transactions you have nothing to worry about. You could argue that the announcement was meant to ease uncertainty being felt by customers, but to me it feels like their marketing people wanted to make sure they took advantage of real-world issues affecting many in the gaming space.Christina, what do you think?[Kick to Christina]And there you have it, All the news, you've already heard.

Send us a textWelcome to you heard it here last where we talk about news, you've already heard.Professor Dungeon Master on his YouTube channel Dungeon Craft announced that the New D&D 2024 Players Handbook only sold 3,773 books in its opening week. That's right, what was announced as the fastest selling D&D book in history only sold 3,773 physical copies. The rest of those sales were digital over on DnD Beyond.https://youtu.be/hmTKrCeaFC8?si=rJ_LZ4RbK8YAHAYDHe followed that news up with a recent report that DnD Beyond has officially locked down their digital products.https://youtu.be/ndrfwFakQto?si=t9TfCEb9hntPTNNaThis is a quote from the DnD Beyond Support Page;“All digital content will only be available to view and use on the D&D Beyond website. An account will be needed to access the content. So, if you delete your account you will lose the content.”https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/articles/7747225184788-Unlocked-Content-and-D-D-Beyond-Account-DeletionNow this isn't anything new to those of us who hate DnD. I learned this difficult lesson when I deleted my DnD Beyond Account during the OGL scandal. Remember kids, if you buy from DnD you don't own shit. You only rent it and they will take their ball and go home leaving you high and dry if you disagree with them.What's this mean for the ttrpg hobby? What's this mean for the business of ttrpg's? What's this mean for WoTC? Good thing I have Christina here to answer those questions.Christina, weigh in with a quote from Emmanuel Kent[Kick to Christina]I led with the DnD Beyond story so I could follow up with this one.https://www.enworld.org/threads/shadowdark-setting-looks-set-to-be-2025s-first-million-dollar-ttrpg-crowdfunder.712281/Shadowdark is an OSR style game from Kelsey Dionne that made a splash on Kickstarter in 2023 when it raised 1.4 million dollars. That is a massive payday for an independent game and got a lot of people dubbing it the D&D killer. Now that wasn't fair because it had nowhere near the market share that D&D had, but it is a cool game and a great independent game story…and then Shadowdark created a campaign setting. On March 11th of 2025 Shadowdark released Western Reaches on Kickstarter. It is a sandbox campaign setting for Shadowdark.It made a million bucks in less than 12 hours.Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast my be trying their damndest to kill TTRPG's, but the hobby aint dead. Far from it. With news like this it proves that the gamers out there are looking for a roleplaying product they can trust now that D&D has continued to stab them in the back and spit on their corpses.Throw away your D&D and play and support games made for you by people who like you.At least that's my thoughts.Christina?[Kick to Christina]An there you have it, All the news you've already heard.

Why is it so difficult to study the evolution of early galaxies? Are metallic D&D dice better than plastic ones? And can you have too many Pokémon tattoos? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Justin Cole, who is currently a grad student at Texas A&M studying the evolution of distant galaxies in pursuit of his PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing – the recent – and remarkable – discovery of four planets orbiting Barnard's Star, a tiny star not much bigger than Jupiter with the highest measured proper motion of any star in our sky. Chuck and Justin discuss why the discovery of new exoplanets is so challenging, which leads to Justin explaining what he's studying: galaxies in our universe that developed less than 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang – about 2.5 billion years before the birth of our own Milky Way Galaxy. We've got a handle on what's going on with our neighbors like the Andromeda Galaxy, but when it comes to early galaxies, we have a very limited range of wavelengths and scant data to study. This makes it harder to derive understandings of galactic evolution and whether they support or conflict with the standard model of physics. Our first audience question comes from Ricardo, who asks, “What if we discover extraterrestrial plant life and find out it's intelligent? Actually, what if we discover plants on Earth are intelligent? Would it be unethical to eat them?” After Chuck shares a little about Marvel's intelligent, telepathic species of plants called the Cotati, and imitates Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors, Justin weighs in on the ethics of eating intelligent plants and asks a critical question: Would we understand them enough to know? What would happen if we bit into a head of alien lettuce and it started screaming? The ensuing discussion is… tasty, albeit a little unsettling. Our next question is from Thomasina, who asks, “I read that the Big Bang theory is in trouble – what does that mean? And did the Big Bang never happen?” Justin, who is an early universe guy, clarifies what's going on here. We occasionally find galaxies that seem to be too big for the amount of time that they've had to grow. We're also finding black holes that with our current instruments, also appear to be too big. In each case, we're finding better ways to simulate these situations, and it's not that they're too big, or that the Big Bang isn't supportable, it's that we're using tools that are calibrated to “nearby and today” that aren't as good at helping us assess early galaxies. Next up, Justin, who is getting ready to run a Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition roleplaying session after the podcast recording, talks about using D&D Beyond to create his own campaigns (set in the World of Warcraft universe!). Chuck and Justin discuss the benefits of rolling metal dice, and Justin shows off a couple of his beautiful D20. Not to be outdone, Allen shares his 120-sided die, the largest die allowed by three dimensional Euclidean geometry in conventional space. Meanwhile, Chuck tells us the sad story of his old, worn plastic dice. As Allen points out, Chuck was in the hobby before it was cool! And as we run out of time, Justin shares his intention to get one Pokémon tattoo for every state he and his wife visit. If you'd like to know more about what Justin's up to, he suggests you Google “Justin Cole Astronomy” or “Justin Cole A&M.” We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.

Wizards of the Coast has officially shut down its long-anticipated Sigil Virtual Tabletop (VTT), a project that consumed years of development and significant funding.

Tonight on Veritas... our special guest is Dr. Diane Hennacy. What if everything we think we know about the human mind is incomplete? What if certain individuals, particularly nonverbal autistic children, possess abilities that challenge the very foundation of neuroscience? Dr. Hennacy is not just any scientist. She's a Johns Hopkins-trained psychiatrist, a neuroscientist, and a former faculty member at Harvard Medical School - a woman who has spent her career at the very heart of academic medicine. But her journey has taken a turn into uncharted territory, a place where telepathy is not a myth, but a measurable, repeatable phenomenon. Her work has uncovered something extraordinary: children who can see without their eyes, read their parents' thoughts, and even communicate through a mysterious shared consciousness. The implications of her findings are nothing short of revolutionary—not only for neuroscience but for our understanding of reality itself. Skeptics might scoff, but the data is undeniable. Dr. Hennacy has conducted rigorous, controlled experiments, ruling out fraud, chance, and bias. What remains is something that defies conventional explanation - something that could reshape how we understand human potential. Could these children be the key to unlocking abilities we all possess but have forgotten? Is consciousness more than just a byproduct of the brain? And if telepathy is real, what does it mean for the future of human communication? These questions and more, as we uncover the hidden power of the human mind.
