    Peer-Reviewed Study Says Dungeons & Dragons Good for Mental Health

    The only issue I foresee is the chance that it becomes a crutch and is relied on too heavily in order to escape what troubles us rather than dealing with the issue directly. D&D is a fantastic stress-reliever but like all things can become overused and abused in my opinion.

    D&D 5E Potential Monsters in Quests from the Infinite Staircase Adventures

    What I am really interested in is how they will edit this particular adventure (if at all). The original was from "Basic" edition so the challenge ratings of the monsters were all over the place. Plus, there was room provided to allow the DM to further expand the adventure by adding additional...

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    This is probably the biggest reason I do NOT care for this whole Kickstarter/Patreon financial plan. It is simply too easy to entice a consumer with tons of pretty bells, whistles and artwork to get at least a small handful to donate a ton of money to a project. Now of course, caveat emptor...

    WotC WotC Removes Release Dates From Promo Images For 2024

    I ADORE that art style. I'm actually really looking forward to this. Quite a few of the course corrections for the classes I've seen in Unearthed Arcana are a necessary change for the good of the game in my humble opinion. It will be nice to see a finalized version all in one source.

    Lore & Legends Sheds New Light on D&D 5E

    Yes. Now I feel really old when 5e gets a "retrospective." Geesh ;)

    D&D 5E Take A Peek At Fortune's Wheel Table of Contents

    Well it SOUNDS promising. I have to admit I am intrigued.

    D&D 5E Check Out Planescape's Table of Contents & More!

    I was never really into Planescape when it first came out. I was happy to just stick to the World of Greyhawk. But I do like what I have seen thus far. For me, the real kicker will be how much support this setting will receive in terms of "official" adventures and how well they are written.

    Sneak Peak of Planescape: A Preview

    Guess I should 'ave used me loaf. ;)

    Sneak Peak of Planescape: A Preview

    Planescape has always been one of those settings that I have a difficult time grasping. I kind of have a love/hate relationship with it. I love it because it is so unique and unusual in its scope as a planar adventure. And Sigil, the City of Doors, just seemed like a very cool place to...

    RPG Evolution: Are RPGs Art?

    I tend to be more of a "logical" thinker than an "artsy" thinker but it is only logical to recognize the power and influence of "art." Art is elusive too as it means something completely different depending on who is viewing it. Art is often the first thing that catches the viewers eye and...

    D&D General 1200 D&D Players Break Guinness World Record

    I hope good times were had by all. Sounds like a blast!

    Gloomhaven RPG Will Have More Than 600 Miniatures

    Although, everyone does need a hobby... ;)

    Critical Role Announces Two New RPGs

    Gut instinct: Hard Pass. Love Critical Role and the folks involved with it but I've had enough of all the "knee-jerk" reactions everyone seems to be falling back on after the hiccup from WotC. To me, it's like seeing someone struggling out in the water and tossing them an anchor.

    Gloomhaven RPG Will Have More Than 600 Miniatures

    I loved minis back in the day. Now, at my age, I simply don't want to be bothered with all that inane clutter anymore. Just too much "stuff."

    American fast food chain Arby's releases polyhedral dice set (for the third time)

    Personally, I LOVE Arby's. They have a great Turkey, Ranch and Bacon sandwich, they are the only place to get "Jamocha" shakes and their Greek-style gyro is out of this world! I love these polyhedral dice too but they sure are hard to chew and keep breaking my teeth. ;)

    D&D 5E Lord of the Rings 5E Is Coming Next Month

    How many versions of LotR are they going to try and make?

    News Digest for the Week of March 31

    I have to say I really am not a big fan of that isometric style of VTT. I always seemed a big awkward to me especially for some of the door and window angles. Not to mention this seems way too much like just another video game. But I don't want to play a video game. I want to play D&D...

    D&D 5E WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Sounds like a great load of crap on the part of WotC in my opinion. It's OK to be respectful but frankly I don't need my little fantasy games to be preaching to me regarding social behavior.

    Rumours: WotC Announcement Today; Insider Email Reveals Plans

    Sorry to add fuel to the fire but I think we were most definitely heading for disaster as it became more "mainstream" to attempt to make a living off a game that was initially intended to simply be a pastime or hobby. I'm not looking for people to start throwing a snit but I feel this opinion...

    WotC Ex D&D Beyond Staffers Criticize Relationship With WotC

    That is really disappointing to hear. It does seem that some folks at WotC must think their "naughty word don't stink." And even worse in my opinion is all this behind the scenes drama is known by only a few insiders. The consumer is left high and dry. They will continue to gladly accept our money...
