I'm not trying to be awkward I promise. I'm just trying to understand the technology. We've all used random generators for years. Some random generators are totally random, others use inputs or some logic to construct their results. Some aren't even all that random! If we ask an AI to write an...

Nearly all the 3PP stuff is player facing… archetypes, feats, etc. I have enough of that to eke me going for now so I’m looking for Narrator stuff. Especially: Monsters and NPCs in the A5e format Exploration challenges (I have DM Sarah’s excellent book) Adventures which use the new A5e stuff...

I haven't fully explored either of these. Can anybody who is familiar with both give a quick summary of the differences?

Final version is a bit different from the playtest versions. Floating ASIs as normal now, Common plus one lang Humanoid, small, 30-ft speed Fearless gives advantage on frightened saves, and once per long rest you can auto-succeed on a frightened save Aptitude gives a free skill prof from...

Batman, Spider-Man, Xmen? Which superhero (or team) has the best rogues gallery?

I was looking at the Enworld news page, and realized how it summarized the industry perfectly. If it's not D&D nobody is interested.... by factor of HUNDREDS. I don't know why ENnworld even bothers to report on non-dnd stuff. Nobody reads it. Why not turn this website back into a DnD news site...

I'm trying to work out which bits can be reused but can't find the the declaration of Open Game Content. I figured it would be at the back with the license itself, or at the begining on the credits page but I'm not seeing it there. In theory I should be able to take D&D-derived game elements...

DriveThruRPG updated its 'publisher conduct guidelines' this week. While they are free to do business with who they want, as a near-monopoly --- well... https://onebookshelfpublisherservice.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/227866447-Publisher-Conduct-Guidelines That's not a condition I've ever...

https://icv2.com/articles/talk-back/view/51382/mark-craddock-comic-book-world-game-publishers-twitter Well my FLGS doesn't stock anything but D&D and some Pathfinder, so Kickstarter is my only option for buying other games. If my FLGS stocked the games I wanted to buy, I would buy them...

Spelljammer creator Jeff Grubb expresses his surprise!

By successful, I mean with a handful of successful Kickstarters under their belt, or something similar. I remember Sean K Reynolds talking about salaries. https://www.enworld.org/threads/sean-k-reynolds-talks-rpg-salaries-puts-his-on-record.682924/ So $40K at WotC a decade ago as a designer...

I don’t have them all to check. I mean the entities named on the covers of D&D boioks — like Xanathar, Tasha…. Rise of Tiamat Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes etc?

With all the flak the 5E Doctor Who is getting I thought this tweet was telling. With all the people telling “there are better systems for it!” the answer is they know, but you won’t play that. People talk about how they don’t want to learn another game, and the fact that people aren’t even...

For compatibilty purposes, the most likely issue is going to be action surge. What O5E subclasses require action surge, and is there a simple universal change we can make so they work?

Short answer: yes. Long aswer: it is if Tasha's is. So this quesiton seems to come up a lot, and I thought I'd quickly dive into it. Level Up isn't the same as D&D 5E (otherwise why buy it?) but it is compatible with it. Level Up is compatible with 5E if Tasha's Cauldron of Everything is...

Didnt WoTC have that Red Dawn Kickstarter taken down? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/burningstargames/red-dawn-into-the-dawnlands/comments? Feels a bit hypocritical to be bragging about magic schools with owls delivering invitations. D&D is based on plundering other IP and cultures.

Removing alignments from monsters as I understand it is to say that no creature is biologically 'evil'. But is there a material difference between saying a race is evil and saying a race is homicidal? I'm not sure I have a point to make, other than that I'm slightly confuised as I thought that...

Over on the Facebook group there's a planetouched preview.

My gaming group and I decided to try a little experiment. We did this in both 5E and Pathfinder 2E. The experiment was as follows: we would play through three medium/hard encounters or two normally (with a break for rest and healing in between each), except that my role was to try to die. I...
