    WotC D&D's Best Year Ever - But Hasbro's Goal Is For D&D e-Sports

    D&D as an eSport? I can be a competitor! I think I will either join the Roll20.com team or the Chesex team. Who will offer me the better sponsorship?

    Ravnica: Is This The New D&D Setting? [UPDATED & CONFIRMED!]

    Why? They haven't even done a campaign setting for the Realms. You know why? Because we have campaign guides for it and so many others already. The fluff is just as fluffy as before. If they are going to do a setting guide, why not give us something we don't have 2-4 previous versions of?

    News Digest: BattleTech/MechWarrior Lawsuit Settled, ENnie Nominations and Voting Dates, The Expanse

    Expanse RPG just announced, releases next month but is kickstarting ? How is this even possible? And how is this timeline even encouraging? At that rate, they should offer proofreading and playtesting as stretch goals.

    The half-elf sorcerer in my current campaign is romancing the NPC priestess of Tymora every time we return from monster genocide.

    RPG Crowdfunding News 102: Irongate, Vault of K’Horror, The Eye of the Cyclops, Dragonscales, The Ho

    settle down. There is no need to patronize me. I am well aware I don't need to buy them. Trust me, that won't be a problem. I'm just wondering if this is the start of a trend where the Critical Role brand will eclipse the D&D brand. But it's fine. If people like them, they like them. And they...

    RPG Crowdfunding News 102: Irongate, Vault of K’Horror, The Eye of the Cyclops, Dragonscales, The Ho

    Critical Role miniatures? They look like nice sculpts and all but it looks like a blatant cash grab to me. I m finding myself a bit offended that D&D miniatures can't just be D&D miniatures, that they have to tie into a twitch/YouTube stream to get attention. Am I overreacting or does supporting...

    News Digest: Critical Role Leaving Geek & Sundry, Origins Award Winners, Pathfinder 2nd Ed Previews,

    I guess I'm an oddball because while I was really into Geek and Sundry from the start, I wasn't a fan of Critical Role. Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against it but I couldn't bring myself to watch 4 hours of weekly D&D when I could run my own game in the same time (and I did). It started...

    Where Do They Get Their Money, Part One

    Personally, I don't think the cabbage seller would accept platinum coins he DOES recognize either unless you are buying a LOT of cabbage. That's like buying a box of Kraft mac with a $1000 bill

    It's FREE RPG DAY, So Head To Your Local Game Store Today!

    I have been to a few FRPG days in the past few years at my local store and even tried out new games (which is kind of the point) but the owner has been so frustrated that most people just want to demand their swag and leave. They don't play or buy anything. Just give me my free stuff so I can...

    Orr Group's Quarterly Report: D&D Up 3%, Pathfinder Down 2%, Cthulhu Is Rising!

    Props to Morrus for the Cthulhu is rising joke. Funny, I am just prepping to start my first Call of Cthulhu (7e) campaign. But I didn't realize I am part of a trend. It seems the stars are right!

    D&D 5E Mythological Figures: Thor Odinson (5E)

    This was a redhead in the original myths. Marvel comics made him blonde As for whether he should be statted as a pc, I'm pretty sure he was statted up in the 3rd edition Deities & Demigods. You could look that up and convert to 5E if you prefer.

    Skill Feats In Pathfinder 2

    If I started having characters swimming like fish, surviving the vacuum of space unprotected, and stealing plate mail off the guards wearing them, I think I would hit that world with an asteroid and start over. I understand the desire to be awesome and epic at high levels but these are like...

    Masks of Nyarlathotep Radio Drama and Gamer Prop Set Announced!

    That s great! Now I'm even more inclined to get it! Let's hope Chaosium releases the pdf as scheduled!

    Masks of Nyarlathotep Radio Drama and Gamer Prop Set Announced!

    Yes I have been looking over the 4th edition version of Masks but want to get The 7e pdf (if they release it in time!) Now I really want the props box too. I don't suppose it will have anything for the new chapter set in Peru though?

    Masks of Nyarlathotep Radio Drama and Gamer Prop Set Announced!

    What timing! I am starting a Call of Cthulhu campaign at my game store in August and was thinking of running Masks!

    RPG Crowdfunding News 099: Spectacular Settlements, Part-Time Gods, Acute Paranoia, Agents of Concor

    I like the idea of the Spectacular Settlements book but have to admit the stretch goals are giving me trepidation about the final quality. For two reasons. First if the stretch goals are all met, we are looking at eight examples of each of the eight settlement types. Stretch goals are adding...

    Second Dungeons & Dragons Product for Fall 2018: Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

    I believe Perkins said Halastar has a spelljammer helm, not a spelljammer. But I agree with the potential for 2019. Note that Volo's guide harmonized with Tomb of Annihilation while they have already stated ,Xanathar's guide harmonizes with Dragon Heist. So it seems reasonable to think that...

    Second Dungeons & Dragons Product for Fall 2018: Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

    It's a shame how many people fail to look beyond the title on these books. These books are tool kits. It may say Waterdeep and Undermountain but what they really are is resources for sprawling urban adventures or labyrinthine dungeons full of traps and riddles. Any campaign in any world that...
