We shipped Betrayal at Krondor with absolutely no idea how well it would be received by players and critics. As it turned out, we'd created a people-pleasing, award-winning RPG.

During the last three months of "crunch" to finish Betrayal at Krondor, I learned there was a price to be paid for my self-inflicted overtime and perfectionism.

Dynamix's move into new digs gave me an office of my own. It also necessitated a trip to Powell's City of Books in nearby Portland.

I like that "worrying" is such a long word in Cherokee. It seems appropriate.
Jeramy Neugin @LostCityMagic
Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Sometimes people here might ask for help and your first thought is, there's nothing I can do.
But there is.
You can Echo that person and improve the odds of them finding their answers.
It takes so little and could lead to help.
Help that you caused.

If you can't find your CD, you can get a version offered on GOG.com that works on a modern PC. There are a lot people streaming it on Twitch, which is pretty great for a thirty year old game. :)

Once we had the license for Betrayal at Krondor, we needed to create the big picture for the narrative behind the game.

If you want to support writers, artists, musicians, filmmakers, etc., the easiest way is to like their posts and share them. It might not seem important to you, but those that agent, publish and market their works ABSOLUTELY pay attention to those things. You can make or break careers.
