I lasted 10 mins into the new Witcher season. It just felt like a cosplay/fan-fic adaption. Was it always that clunky but Henry Cavill's gravitas pulled it of?

I almost want to keep this to myself, but the fonts & map making tools from Rian at www.aesoterik.com are superb. I've used the fonts extensively with my RPG designs & elsewhere & the mapmaking tools are great fun. Beautifully crafted & the aesthetic is spot on.
