We’re nearly caught up with all 2023 storylines!
The DRW-OD storyline is currently backlogged, but will start being published again in March or April. February will feature new Moonshaes modules and potentially Dragonlance. New adventures from 2024 should reach publication in April!
Home Game in the Cloud:
Home Game in the Cloud has moved to an in-house ticketing system on the Baldman Games website! Some rough edges have appeared, but we’re working to smooth them out – Some changes are coming soon, while others are going to take some time.
Home Game in the Cloud games has moved away from the Baldman Games Community Discord server, and now has its own Discord server! If you have not already been joined of the new server for HGitC games, please open a ticket in the Community Server and we’ll get you where you need to be!
Tons of new games are being added to Home Game in the Cloud! Be sure to check the home-game-Planning forum on the Baldman Games Community Discord server as new groups continue to organize and prepare for launch!
Premiere Event Pricing
A $2 price increase will apply to Baldman Games created modules during their premiere event – 100% of this surcharge goes directly to the creative team, Baldman Games takes no cut of this surcharge.
