If you’re a fan of both tabletop role-playing games and blood-sucking immortal monsters, then Humble Bundle really has you covered this October.

Embracer’s scythe continues to swing in the wake of a collapsed $2 billion deal, and the latest victim, reportedly, is Zen Studios. According to Videogamelayoffs, one of its sources at the Hungarian studio told it that 32 staffers at the Pinball FX studio were laid off last Friday.

Vicious Mockery might just be one of the best spells in Baldur’s Gate 3, even Dungeons & Dragons proper. Not because of its power, mind you.
