The open beta for The Finals, the free-to-play shooter from the ex-Battlefield developers at Embark Studios, is proving to be popular among players. So popular, in fact, that Embark says the game is close to hitting the limits of its server capacity.

While it remains to be seen whether Embark Studios’ upcoming THE FINALS will be able to break through that barrier, early indications certainly seem positive for the game.
The Finals open beta was a huge hit, with an impressive 7.5 million people playing.

Dungeons & Dragons has a new book coming out—but you'll have to wait a while longer for the physical copy. The release of The Deck of Many Things core rulebook has been delayed thanks to a streak of bad luck (or poor manufacturing, depending on how charitable you're willing to be). On October 28, the official D&D Twitter account made the following post:
