    D&D General The 13th Age 2nd Edition Kickstarter Has Launched

    It is a "love letter" to D&D. It's an F20 game according to the designers. I think that qualifies it as a version of D&D in some capacity. I am enjoying the Beta packet. They took a lot of our feedback from the Alpha playtest and made improvements, plus some new stuff. 13th Age 2E is on the...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Artistic intent matters to the original art. That said, WOTC (and WizKids working for them) can create derivative works based on the original art because they own the original. That's all this mini is, a derivative work that changed aspects of the art it is based upon. It doesn't change the...

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    Addressing the freelance pay culture in the TTRPG industry, just one part of the issues discussed here. I have heard of problems getting paid, but have not experienced it myself. Both AAW Games and Kobold Press were professional, timely, and transparent with me on my pay. To those brave...

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    There is a lot to process here. Ultimately, I hope those who are still owed get what they deserve and find a better work environment. No one deserves that kind of treatment. I think my Everyday Heroes collection is complete, no need to give EGG more of my money. I hope the creatives are proud...

    Vote For The Most Anticipated RPG of 2024!

    I voted for Shadows of the Weird Wizard and Tiny Cyberpunk. Not much else interested me enough that I am "anticipating" it. :) I do love some Shadows and Tiny d6 though.

    Renegade Studios Sends C&D To Stop Small Creator Using The Word 'Renegade'

    I've purchased everything released for Essence20, Vampire 5E, and Hunter 5E. I'm glad this is resolved but I won't be buying anything from Renegade Game Studios ever again. I can't stand bullies or overly litigious corpos. I've let my whole gaming crew know and I've tossed the products mentioned...

    Ryan Dancey -- Hasbro Cannot Deauthorize OGL

    All I can add is, support your 3PP. If you like their products, now is the perfect time to make those purchases. :)

    Vote For The Most Anticipated RPG of 2022!

    Avatar Legends as I finally watched the series in 2021 and really enjoyed it. Watching Korra in 2022. Cy-Borg looks incredible! And I am a new fan of Mork Borg as well. Transformers to represent the Essence20 lines. I've pre-ordered all three and I am shocked only Transformers showed up on the...

    Nominate your favorite TTRPG podcast of 2021

    I am also nominating Gaming & BS in the Talk category. Brett and Sean foster a great community and positive influences. As they have mentioned before, they like to think of themselves as two guys in a bar talking about gaming. Casual and very informative. Always exploring new ideas and...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance's Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman Are Suing WotC for Breach of Contract

    This is my concern as well. The books have not been released. If there were issues, there was still time to resolve those issues before sending the books to print. Like many, I would love to see WOTC's response, if there is one.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance's Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman Are Suing WotC for Breach of Contract

    Agreed, this is just one side but believable. WOTC's reaction was very "knee jerk" when this all went down. I have a feeling this is just more fallout from how they handled the whole issue. Depending on how it plays out in court (or if they settle), I suspect WOTC will end up paying out the nose...

    The MAYA Design Principle, or Why D&D's Future is Probably Going to Look Mostly Like Its Past

    Yeah, totally agree. 13th Age is a great game. :)

    The MAYA Design Principle, or Why D&D's Future is Probably Going to Look Mostly Like Its Past

    Oh, my apologies. I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying Mike Mearls actively sabotaged the game. I didn't realize you were talking about others. Yeah, it sounds to me like you caught someone doing exactly that. I've not seen it in person but that disappoints me even while it doesn't...

    The MAYA Design Principle, or Why D&D's Future is Probably Going to Look Mostly Like Its Past

    I'm not an insider and I haven't seen much insight on what was going on behind the scenes but you might be right. Either way, D&D 5E definitely benefited from the edition at the "right time and place" to help it explode. I see 5E as kind of a D&D Lite edition which is actually perfect for...
