Song of the Month: Metric, False Dichotomy

This month saw the release of Metric’s latest album, Formentera. To be honest, this is in my view Metric’s weakest album to date. Most of the songs are pretty forgettable.

To be fair, though, this is their eighth album. That this is their first major stumble* is pretty impressive. I can also respect that they’re still experimenting after all this time. Formentera’s sound may not be entirely to my taste, but I can appreciate that it isn’t quite like anything they’ve done before.

*(I thought Synthetica was a bit underwhelming, too, but not to this extent.)

And it still has a few good songs. I like this one.

I enjoy how Emily often sings words as if each syllable was its own word. “False dye cot oh me, no choice to choose…”

DMs Guild: Accolades and Achievements

Have a few tidbits of news to bring you from the world of Dungeon Masters Guild.

Cover art for my best-selling 5E subclass, the Reanimator artificer.Firstly, my artificer subclass, the Reanimator, has earned its copper best-seller badge. Its the first of my standalone subclasses to do so. Another of my subclasses, the Demonic Bloodline sorcerer, is very close to doing the same, but with how sporadic long tail sales can be, it’s hard to know exactly when it’ll cross that line.

Remember you can always find a list of all my RPG projects, including but not limited to my DMs Guild releases, on the appropriate page.

I’m not the only one receiving some accolades lately, though. My co-writer on the Wyrd Street campaign, Shu Qing Tan, has just been nominated for an ENNIE award in the Best Organized Play category for her adventure Two Hearts Apart. This is the adventure that convinced me to hire her for Wyrd Street, so I’d say the nomination is well-deserved.

To celebrate, Shu is currently offering a limited-time bundle that collects her adventures at a discounted price. And of course, you’ll be able to see her more of her work when Wyrd Street launches later this year.
