I'm a pretty big Dungeons & Dragons nerd. If you know me, this hardly comes as a shock - but I basically grew up playing various TTRPGs. As someone who loves writing and acting, table-top roleplaying games scratch so many itches for me all at once. My first game was sometime around 1995 in my friend's basement (I got crushed by a rock, it was very anticlimactic), and I remember how excited I was when a D&D movie released in 2000 with the legendary Jeremy Irons in it.

In case you weren’t aware, Stardock has been around for a minute or two. And by “a minute or two,” I mean since 1991! Throughout the years, we have made tons of software and plenty of games. It’s true that as time goes on and technology improves, games become outdated - but that doesn’t mean they’re not still enjoyable.
