The Black Company RPG Playtest Phase 2 Launches A deadly, suspenseful RPG based on Glen Cook’s legendary dark fantasy series CONTACT INFORMATION: Rachel Ivey, Marketing Director ARC DREAM PUBLISHING Rachelkivey@arcdream.com March 1, 2026 Victoria…

One month to playtest Phase 2: Soldiers & Sorcery. Create your own Black Company veteran, flaws and all. Especially flaws. ("The Itch: You can’t pass up carousing, gambling, or whoring unless you take 1 Stress.") theblackcompanyrpg.com/the-black-co...

Raven is a wonderful subversion of fantasy tropes because he demonstrates categorically that being in proximity to a player character would SUCK.

Yet, he’s still REALLY COOL when he speeds past, ruining every life in his wake.

A sorceress gestures idly while sipping from a mug. Flying tankards and cookware terrorize the barmaid and customers. The sorceress has earned a Stress reduction.

In The Black Company RPG, it's crucial to find ways to get rid of the Stress that comes with facing impossible dangers.
The next playtest phase starts Monday with a new scenario. This phase covers character creation and magic.

Over 2025, Dead Channels produced 44+hours of actual plays and panel audio, plus 200 pages of new DG writing.

Not counting conversion/editing work I did on Tyne's "The New Age," Glancy's "Holy War," and other upcoming republications.

And not counting everything I've done on Red Markets 2E.

Guess that makes me the Company "memelist" or "moderator" or whatever. I don't know the rank's name, actually; the last guy melted after a flying carpet dropped magic acid on him.

Wait, am I an officer now? I wasn't properly onboarded....

If I wrapped dead fish in that rag, I’d be afraid it was going to turn the daily catch racist and transphobic.

Remember the Glass plagiarism scandal? They were (rightfully) yelling at that guy for, essentially, cheating on his homework.

Meanwhile, the same editorial board was shooting emails warning Epstein about investigations and claiming every Iraqi had WMDs.

Paper of record! The Grey Lady!

I wish someone could write a book about how cover ups organized between The New York Times, Epstein, and every foreign intelligence agency with a checkbook led us to the genocidal fascism running the US today.

But NYT seems pretty good at keeping real journos outside. Guess we’ll never know!

But — right now — I can't come up with a long list of things left to gain from wearing the jersey of a team led by masochistic losers, historic traitors, and gleeful genociders.

I'm sure many among a hypothetical, future left party in the US will be from current Democrat and Progressive circles, in all likelihood the majority of them. Maybe there will be another historic party realignment that keeps the name only.
