We unpack the growing importance of social features in games and the buzz around the new D&D project from the Star Wars Jedi director. Meanwhile, Elden Ring's Night Reign expansion proves brutally satisfying, while Zynga quietly shuts down the studio behind Torchlight.

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.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Washington Commanders are reportedly close to striking a $3 billion deal to build a new football stadium anchoring a massive mixed-use development at the old RFK site. It's believed to include at least $850 million from the District for parking and preparing the site, with the team paying to build the stadium itself. And the price tag could raise with an addition of a Metro station. However, not all city officials support using taxpayers' dollars to help finance a home for the Commanders. Ward 6 D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen joined the show to explain his long-time opposition to building a new sports venue at the RFK site. He said the city doesn't need to subsidize a stadium to attract development. "The public investment on this is going to be more than a billion dollars already and I don't think that's a good deal for DC," he said.Allen also said the deal should include moving its headquarters from Virginia to the District.Plus, what could be on the chopping block as D.C. grapples with Congressionally-mandated budget cuts?The U.S. Supreme Court considered a Montgomery County case this week that would allow religious families to opt their kids out of public school lessons with LGBTQ-themed books. It's a case with national implications. Montgomery County Council Vice President and chair of the county's education committee, Will Jawando, got behind the mic to weigh in. He also weighed in on County Executive Marc Elrich's proposal raise income taxes rather than property tax rates. The county-level income tax increase was made possible by a change in the tax structure by the Maryland General Assembly earlier this month. Jawando said he supports the income tax bump."I make $150,000 a year. I'll pay $150 more in income tax next year if this passes. It's $100 per $100,000 in taxable income is the increase. It's a very small amount, but it'll allow us to fully fund our schools and our teachers," he said.Send us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885Follow us on Bluesky: bsky.app/wamu.org

Blake Ruffino shares his thoughts on LSU Football (#lsufootball) hiring former LSU and Buffalo Bills DT Kyle Williams as their next Defensive Line Coach. Blake breaks down why he thinks that Williams will be able to come into LSU and be very good from a developmental standpoint and why the room needs it desperately. Blake also talks through the concerns such as recruiting and why it is not all on Kyle Williams to rebuild that room by himself when it comes to recruiting. Blake explains why the entire administration has got to be involved when it comes too rebuilding the room back to where it use to be.

Gov. Greg Abbott has signed an agreement with the Trump administration to give immigration power to the Texas National Guard, allowing soldiers to arrest and help deport undocumented migrants. The agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency in charge of patrolling international borders, authorizes National Guard soldiers to exercise “the duties and functions of an immigration officer.” In other news, former Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic was in the process of buying a new home in the Dallas area before the blockbuster trade that sent him to the Los Angeles Lakers; Globe Life announced plans Monday to acquire a Class AA, six-story, 200,000-square-foot office building on Henneman Way and two adjacent tracts of land.

We are back! It is now 2025, the holidays are over, and it's time to get back to talking about video games. I was in Las Vegas over the Christmas holiday, and went to AREA15 (along with Meow Wolf's Omega Mart as well as the Asylum Bar and Arcade) as well as the Pinball Hall of Fame. I also picked up Balatro. I won on my second game, and I will now retire from the game forever. (Or will I?) Apple has halted production on their Apple Vision Pro headset because they believe they have produced enough units to meet the demand over the headset's lifetime. Stern Pinball has announced a new Dungeons & Dragons pinball machine with celebrity voiceovers as well as a procedurally generated dungeon that changes every Sunday. Then we talk to Rob about my virtual pinball cabinet, and how Zen Studios unlocked the cabinet mode for free for Pinball FX3 users, rather than forcing you to jump through hoops to get a free activation code.

Happy 2025 everybody! Last year ground to an ignominious end here in comPOSERS territory. A failed attempt at recording an episode about the Jim Carrey Grinch movie robbed us of our holiday spirit, and scheduling conflicts didn't allow for another kick at the Christmas can before the new year was upon us.  But thankfully Krueger and friend of the show Andrew Young took a trip out to the Newd (the new Stude) to record a silly special with Aaron and other friend of the show (and wife of Aaron) Katrina Kelly. So enjoy this Jay-less little Christmas special, a mere two weeks too late. New year, same comPOSERS. 

A New D.A., A New Direction: The Menendez Brothers' Fate Hangs in the Balance  In the justice system, where legacies of decisions linger for decades, few cases have the staying power of the Menendez brothers. Convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez have spent more than three decades behind bars, with their case periodically reemerging in the public eye. Now, a new Los Angeles County District Attorney, Nathan Hochman, has taken office and is reshaping the case once again. One of Hochman's first moves was to replace two deputy prosecutors, Nancy Theberge and Brock Lunsford, who had filed a motion under former D.A. George Gascón's administration seeking to reduce the brothers' sentences. Theberge and Lunsford's motion argued that the brothers had shown substantial rehabilitation and should be resentenced to 50 years to life, which would make them eligible for parole. Hochman's decision to reassign them signals a potential shift away from Gascón's reform-oriented policies and has drawn significant attention to the direction Hochman intends to take with such high-profile cases. The January 30-31 resentencing hearing could determine the Menendez brothers' futures, but Hochman's office has not yet stated whether it will uphold or withdraw the resentencing request. Hochman's statements indicate a detailed review process, with an emphasis on examining the case files and treating each brother's case separately. Hochman's approach signals a departure from treating the Menendez brothers as a unit and instead evaluates the specifics of each individual's circumstances and actions. This perspective may allow for a more granular and balanced assessment of justice in a case that has been controversial for decades. The brothers' defense team, led by Mark Geragos, is also pursuing a habeas corpus petition based on newly emerged evidence of alleged sexual abuse by their father, Jose Menendez. The petition includes claims that Erik Menendez wrote letters detailing the abuse before the murders, as well as allegations from Roy Rosselló, a former member of the boy band Menudo, who said Jose Menendez sexually assaulted him. These revelations add another layer of complexity to the case, challenging the prosecution's original narrative that the murders were motivated solely by greed. The defense contends that these claims provide a broader context for understanding the brothers' actions, focusing on the psychological toll of prolonged abuse. Judge Michael Jesic, who postponed the resentencing hearing to allow the new administration time to review the case, acknowledged the significant volume of material involved. Hochman's office is also tasked with responding to the habeas corpus petition, a process that could influence the outcome of both the resentencing and broader legal proceedings. This decision underscores the intricate balancing act between revisiting past decisions and maintaining the integrity of the justice system. It also highlights the importance of judicial discretion in managing such a high-profile and emotionally charged case. The case has reignited public debate, with advocates for the brothers pointing to their alleged victimization and rehabilitation as grounds for leniency, while others argue that the brutal nature of the murders justifies their life sentences without parole. The Netflix series Monsters, which revisited the case, has further polarized public opinion, bringing new attention to the decades-old crime. By shedding light on the personal lives of the Menendez brothers and their upbringing, the series has sparked fresh discussions on the intersections of familial abuse, trauma, and criminal behavior. The widespread public interest underscores how deeply this case resonates with broader societal issues of power, family dynamics, and accountability. Governor Gavin Newsom's role also looms over the case, as the brothers have filed a clemency request. However, Newsom has deferred any decisions until after Hochman completes his review. This delay underscores the high stakes and intricate political dynamics surrounding the Menendez brothers' potential release. Newsom's cautious approach reflects the broader implications of granting clemency in a case that continues to polarize opinions across the political and social spectrum. The involvement of the governor further elevates the case to a state-wide platform, where its outcome could set a significant precedent for executive intervention in criminal sentencing. As the January hearing approaches, the Menendez brothers' case remains a flashpoint in discussions about justice, rehabilitation, and the evolving societal understanding of abuse and trauma. The decisions made in the coming months could not only shape the lives of Lyle and Erik Menendez but also set a precedent for how similar cases are handled in the future. The hearing promises to be a critical juncture, where the legal arguments, new evidence, and broader societal shifts converge to determine whether justice is best served by maintaining their sentences or by granting them a second chance. The Menendez brothers' journey from wealthy Beverly Hills teenagers to convicted murderers and now potential symbols of rehabilitation continues to captivate the public. It raises questions about the capacity of the justice system to adapt to new evidence and evolving perceptions of crime and punishment. Hochman's role in shaping the outcome of this case places him at the center of a legal and cultural crossroads, where each decision carries the weight of decades of debate over what justice truly means. This case, with its layers of legal complexity and emotional resonance, serves as a test of the justice system's ability to reconcile past convictions with new evidence and shifting public sentiment. In addition to the legal implications, the Menendez brothers' case also reflects broader trends in criminal justice reform. The focus on rehabilitation, the consideration of trauma, and the evolving perceptions of abuse survivors all come into play in this intricate legal drama. As society continues to grapple with questions of fairness and accountability, the case's outcome could offer insight into how the justice system may evolve to address similar cases in the future. This ongoing saga remains a profound reminder of the intersection between law, psychology, and societal change, making it one of the most compelling criminal cases of our time.

This week, we sit down with Kwame Taylor-Hayford, the new president of D&AD and co-founder of Kin in New York, to explore his mission of empowering the next generation of creative talent. Kwame brings his extensive experience from both the agency and brand sides, having worked with industry heavyweights like Sid Lee, Saatchi & Saatchi, Anomaly, and Chobani. Our conversation delves into the challenges underrepresented groups face in the industry, the need to uplift mid-career professionals, and the power of creativity in driving meaningful change. Kwame shares insights from his own journey, reflecting on an upbringing that spanned Ghana, Egypt, South Africa, the UK, and New York, which instilled in him a deep sense of empathy and a considered approach to leadership. We discuss the importance of creating work cultures that prioritise people's well-being, embracing diversity, and the role of travel in broadening perspectives. In our chat, we touch on the shifting dynamics of the creative industry, where employee power is on the rise, and examine the implications of AI on creativity. Despite the increasing digitalisation of our world, Kwame emphasises why human connection remains essential. He also opens up about his journey, revealing thoughts on life balance, career aspirations, and his 20-year vision for the future. Ultimately, this episode offers a glimpse into the mind of a creative leader who is shaping the future of D&AD and striving to make the industry more inclusive, resilient, and purpose-driven. After this fascinating conversation, it feels like a much brighter future is on the horizon.
