    RPG Crowdfunding News 109: The Expanse, Fantasy Trip, Your Best Game Ever! The City That Dripped Blo

    For a pair of folks that say they really wanted to see their game come to life, I was a little underwhelmed by the support video provided by the authors. But I'm glad to see it funded. I've been an avid reader of The Expanse book series and I'm sure a game system would have real potential with...

    The Difficulties Of Running Low Magic Campaigns

    I think The One Ring has done a great job capturing a low-magic setting. I haven't quite convinced myself, though, that the mechanics transport well to a different setting. That is, if you were to try to run a Conan-style setting with it, it might feel a little forced given how wrapped into...

    The Lazy Dungeon Master Returns! A Book Of Solid DM Advice

    Thank you for highlighting this in an article. I don't really spend much energy keeping up with what is on Kickstarter and, having enjoyed his first book, I'm really glad to know about this one. I went out and backed it immediately. Thanks again for covering for my laziness!

    Starfinder's A Resounding Success! Sells Out On First Day of Gen Con

    I feel like it was pretty short-sighted on Paizo's part not to have more product there. I mean, I'm sure they were glad of the sell-out, but what a missed opportunity to sell even more! And when it was gone, there was a gaping hole in their area. There had been plenty of anticipatory buzz...

    How do you feel about the future of D&D after the official announcements?

    Well, I clicked positive but now I'm having buyer's remorse. Sometimes I'm too much of a sunny idiot. But I liked that they led with saying that they're prioritizing TTRPG. That's the right vein to start in. What worries me is what has been said: how can it really be all things to all...

    Who are the big 3rd party publishers?

    I wouldn't say they're an 'active' publisher in the 4e space, but Kenzer & Co. revised their Kalamar setting to be 4e compatible. After that, I don't think they have anything that's not 3e or 3.5e available. Nothing for Pathfinder. They're more into their Aces & Eights setting, which I hope...

    Mearls: Playing with the core (of D&D)

    Some great points made here. I really hope WotC is listening to y'all as I think a better game could emerge. I caught myself thinking more along the lines of, "I'd hope they'd give more time to fluff in addition to all the crunch." Then I realized that beneath that is a line of thinking that...

    D&D 4E Revamped 4e Skill List... need input please!

    We are considering the exact same thing you are contemplating here and that others have contributed. The strength and occasional weakness of 4E seems to be in the character builder. Whatever you implement shouldn't run too far afoul of the CB or it can be tough to keep up with. As others have...
