I just wish we could discuss the movie as an adaptation of an actual story, rather than adapting a ruleset, which makes no sense to me. I’d be fine with a Dragonlance movie, a Ravenloft movie, hell even a Forgotten Realms movie. But when it’s D&D: The Movie! I have a hard time feeling invested...

Great idea. Thanks for that! I'll be very interested to see those results too.

Agreed that the polls reflect the state of play. Makes sense to me, and I'm totally behind the effort to test the hypothesis. Absolutely. I'm no Realms hater. But I think it's a bit more complex than saying FR is the most popular because of the setting's intrinsic draw. There are a lot of...

I believe Chris Perkins, but I think the data is very skewed by the fact that they've only really supported Forgotten Realms in the last few years. There are only a few products in their current catalog that aren't tied in with the Realms. So yeah, a lot of people are defaulting to the Realms...

We did it! Thanks everyone! More stretch goals coming.

Make no mistake, I've been opening my wallet for years on Darkplane. I'm not shy about committing what I can to the project. But I'm a full-time actor and writer (not the rich kind). There's a limit (higher than my wife would like) to what I can do on my own. Many of our backers are people who...

Getting drunk In case the clarification means anything to anyone, I don't actually drink alcohol myself for personal reasons. I'll be toasting with a soft beverage. The alcohol consumption will be performed beside me by my "stand-in" (a good friend who can hold his liquor). Hope that...

Getting drunk Thanks to all who have backed today! We're at 75% after less than 10 hours!

I want to thank everyone for their kind words about my Kickstarter project and the setting itself. I've been developing it for a long time now, and it's been the most rewarding hobby I've ever had. I want to clarify that it is in fact a hobby. I'm not interested in making money off the setting...

Hi everyone! I'm trilled to announce that our Kickstarter for Darkplane launches on March 17. It's been a blast to work on and I couldn't be more excited to launch it. You can take a gander at www.darkplane.com. The Darkplane universe is a campaign setting for 5th edition that blends Gothic...

4 out of 5 rating for Spellbook Cards These are unavoidably useful, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. As has been said just about everywhere, they have square corners and don't list the spells that require concentration. Still, I have every set and don't regret it. They're much...

4 out of 5 rating for Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game Played and ran several games, and had a great time. I found cortex plus to be a great balance between structured rules and narrative gameplay. The book is a little tough to decode. The rules are definitely easier to pick up through...
