"All this coverage has made me realize there are way too many damn game conventions these days. I feel like these guys spend so much time doing media, how do they get shit done"

Yeah. Obsidian has 100+ employees. they send 2-3 to a convention... so, the others are playing tiddlywinks? FFS

Oh that's right. I remember Feargus mentioning they bought rights to *something*. Was it Icewind Dale?

Not rights, literal assets. Obsidian bought them years ago. Finally found a way to use them.

... odd thing to buy.

Not really. I would be willing to bet, Obsidian entertained the idea of possibly making an Icewind Dale III. But then they probably thought about it more and decided to make a game using their own IP (instead of having to deal with WotC/HASBRO). And just take a chance on Kickstarter. We are *kind of* getting an Icewind Dale III...... in a way.

I personally would not mind if they did approach WotC and actually decided to do an Actual Icewind Dale III (perhaps using the latest D&D ruleset). As long as they get Justin Sweet to do the avatar art.

I don't think there was anyone from Obsidian there. Most probably people from Paradox.

The era of decline has been replaced by the era of tough choices.

Depends on whether you have the ability to make tough choices. If not, you'll spend all of your time thinking about what games to play without ever finishing any of them.
