Podcast Topic(s)
PC Gamer recently published a bonus issue that they are calling The Ultimate RPG Handbook, the main feature of which is a 28-page piece on the history of the RPG genre. Naturally, the Ultima series merits a two-page spread therein; we took some time to go through what was written about the series.
We also referenced the Ultima Codex’s interview with Ultima 9 lead programmer Bill Randolph a fair bit.
Also mentioned: this book by Bob Larson, and the RPG known as Blimpo Warrior.
In Other News
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire was announced recently, and has already raised over $2 million in its crowdfunding campaign on Fig. For a while, at least, it was earning $100,000 USD per hour!
