Top of the day: A fairly quiet Saturday, with the countdown to D&D’s World of Warcraft crossover doing most of the talking: the species previews wrapped with the Worgen, and subclasses are up next. Elsewhere, Paizo’s 13 Omens Kickstarter unlocked a Pathfinder crossover zine in its final stretch, and Paizo pushed back on AI-art claims around its new Feybound book.
News
- Wizards of the Coast: World of Warcraft species previews wrap with the Worgen — The latest deep dive covers the werewolf Worgen, whose Darkflight transformation grants temporary hit points, extra speed and necrotic resistance; it’s the last new species, with subclass previews coming next. An earlier look at the fox-like Vulpera drew grumbles that their traits run on the weak side. (EN World)

Community & Gossip
- Paizo: AI-art claims over Feybound denied — A Reddit thread flagged suspected AI artifacts in a map from the new Pathfinder 2E book Feybound; Paizo says the artist denies using AI, its contracts ban AI art, and the oddities came from layers being flattened during layout. (EN World)
