The BitCraft Alpha is going live on April 4th. It's a multiplayer, open world, survival/exploration type game. No invites have gone out but they have a signup going on (that's a little over-gamefied in my view, but ok). We'll very likely have some AIE people in there checking it out.

Besides the other ongoing fun stuff (Rust, Palworld, ARK, etc.) there will be some single-player RPG games coming out next week that people may want to chat about. Horizon: Forbidden West is finally hitting PC (Steam) and Dragon's Dogma 2 is looking interesting.

If you are a world builder, Chaosium is running a Basic Roleplaying Design Challenge with their open gaming license (d100). And let’s be honest, if you’re going to try and label the system as BRP (Basic Roleplaying), we’re going to add Universal and System to it and call it (BURPS). Also it’s being released under the ORC (Open RPG Creative) license.

Daggerheart is doing a public playtest beginning March 12.

This system looks really interesting and is much more character focused and story driven.

The 10.2.6 Content Update Arrives March 19

Mark your calendar for March 19 when the 10.2.6 content update goes live with a bold, new, limited-time event. You won't want to miss out on the fun. It's important to note that Dragonflight season 4 will go live several weeks after the release of the 10.2.6 content update. For heroes working toward the Amirdrassil Feats of Strength, you'll need to obtain Ahead of the Curve: Fyrakk the Blazing before Season 4 begins, and the achievement is no longer available to earn.

Gustytail's favorite Holiday, the Trial of Style returns as well and there will be Guild runs.

Cataclysm beta is out,
