Our corporate siblingsDicebreakergathered a load of complaints from players and ah, it’s a bit silly. Read their post for a big ol' rundown.

In all honesty, I do mostly find it funny. I should be sympathetic but it sounds like just another licensed adaptation to me. A craving for familiar IP is the true hollowing, bearer of the curse.

Steamforged told Dicebreaker that they feel they have succeeded in their goal to “create compelling tabletop experiences that capture the hearts and imaginations of our fans, immersing them in vivid worlds they can get lost in time and time again”, though they do “acknowledge the concerns some have raised and take all feedback seriously.” Given the circumstances, I might have thrown in the classic cheeky Souls “keh-heh-heh” chuckle of an NPC who definitely isn’t thinking about how nice your shoes would look on their feet.
