    Getting reviews

    Whatever happened to Endzeitgheist? I remember him being extremely prolific of 3pp stuff and I bought more than one product because he rated it highly.

    Maintaining your secret identity

    You need to not tell anyone, because it’s the only way to keep a secret.

    Tell your overdue Kickstarter story

    That was a really powerful story. As someone who loved the Razor Coast that came out the other side. It’s a real cautionary tale. Nicolas Logue a talented writer unsuited at that time to be a publisher who went into a spiral of alcoholism and depression from pressures of a full time job and the...

    James Ohlen Shifts From Archetype Entertainment Head to Creative Consultant for Tabletop RPGs at Wizards

    Yes all three are good as is Raiders of the Serpent Sea. He thinks big and comes up with imaginative stuff. Particularly impressive quality as 3rd party work. There is a reason Baldurs Gate was number 3. Because he did such a good job on the first two that a sequel was worth it.

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    It might also be that many changes are circumstantial. They’re to a specific spell or subclass ability. In some cases it even depends how you use the spells. Even when my cleric PC casts spirit guardians he doesn’t boost his speed and start running around the board. So there are lots of reasons...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    I find it fascinating that relatively minor changes, often to just a few classes, evoke such antipathy. I’m really struggling to understand what in some cases seems like wholesale disgust at a system that is only very slightly different than the one that came before, that they think is great...

    It's Time to VOTE for your MOST ANTICIPATED TTRPG of 2026!

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 5e. It looks like we could be getting a more streamlined version of 4e. Easier to track advantage, talents less complex, pared down meta currency. All good things.

    D&D 5E (2024) What 2024 class have you played the most

    Very good. I watched the first Drakkenheim and enjoyed it. Which campaigns did you play in?

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Sells Over 20 Million Copies

    How are the complaints out of proportion? Pretty much everyone here that has ‘complained’ said it’s not a huge deal, they liked the game, they they’d just prefer it wasn’t there to the extent it was. No protests, no calls for boycott or cancellation. Just a polite ‘could you tone down the...

    D&D 5E (2024) What 2024 class have you played the most

    Just interrupting other players turns and generally slowing down the game in multiple ways. Really dislike an hour long Rage giving temp hp every round.

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Sells Over 20 Million Copies

    Yes. It would for me. Many games have a gore meter for the same reason. Though not sure how you can equate a video cut scene involving the lead character feeling obliged to have pretty explicit sex with an incubus in order to solve a main quest to a tiny avatar making stylized cutting motions...

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Sells Over 20 Million Copies

    Yeah. Later on you said ‘made’ a billion though. Which usually means profit.

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Sells Over 20 Million Copies

    You can have relationships without sex scenes. Every BG had romances. You can have adult themes without sex scenes. Maybe it is moralizing. There are some folks that like this stuff and really want to see it in their D&D, for me I just find it exclusionary. Pretty sure I’m not alone. I’d like...

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Sells Over 20 Million Copies

    Maybe. We will never know if that was because of all the other stuff that was good about it. it’s possible to deal with adult themes without scraping the gutter. But it’s a design choice. Good on them for making a decision and sticking to it. My opinion is one of twenty million and I bought the...
