    D&D General LEGO D&D minifigures -- pics of all 12

    Confirmation of SOME kind of cross-promo. I love that LEGO is apparently Toy Company Switzerland, because even the other toy companies are licensing out to them.

    Shin Megami Tensei RPG Getting English Language Edition

    Nice. There was a leak about this a while ago (Amazon jumping the gun, as always). I've heard vaguely about this game for YEARS, so seeing it in English is exciting.

    Arkham Horror TTRPG announced

    Cool. The Arkham Horror Files continuum has been an off-and-on hyperfixation of mine since back when they were still actively supporting AH 2E. Was always too broke to BUY any of it past Elder Sign: Omens (the digital version of the "streamlined" dice game spin-off) and, recently, the long line...

    Board Game Arkham Horror Getting an RPG from Edge Studio

    Cool. The Arkham Horror Files continuum has been an off-and-on hyperfixation of mine since back when they were still actively supporting AH 2E.

    Tomb Raider Licensed RPG Announced by Evil Hat Publishing

    That would be like using Mothership as the base for an official Aliens game. The license would be just so they can re-etch the serial numbers BACK ON. So, the logical and efficient choice, bare minimum. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing what EH does with TR. If anyone can do pulp...

    D&D General The D&D RTS That Fumbles its Setting | Dragonshard - [William SRD]

    A review of the one, single-player, video game Eberron has ever gotten. If you like this one, William has covered quite a large swath of the D&D video game catalog, plus some World of Darkness and Warhammer. His videos on Ravenloft's two first-person RPGs, Strahd's Possession and Stone...

    Evil Genius Games and Netflix Settle 'Rebel Moon' TTRPG Lawsuit

    I will say that "Rebel Moon: The Popcorn" was decent. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Popcorn-Indiana-Cheddar-Cheese-Rebel-Moon-Popcorn-6-5-Ounces-Bag/2392144656

    Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa Xmas Special & s1

    I give it three seasons, minimum. Unless NBC kills it, in classic "Of course we didn't advertise it, no one was watching it." style.

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Hates Religion (Spoilers)

    Yeah, Larian did her really dirty (brings to mind Sylvanas Windrunner's similar butchering). While I like BG3 as a whole there are some MAJOR narrative missteps. There are at least FIVE different spells that could save Karlach from the Engine, in-universe, but Larian doesn't even acknowledge...

    Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa Xmas Special & s1

    Yeah, EVERY series trying to be a long miniseries has gotten stale (especially in animation, I just want a simple cartoon). One show recently that broke that trend I am loving is Poker Face, which is Rian Johnson of Knives Out fame doing a full series. Specifically, an attempt at a spiritual...

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Hates Religion (Spoilers)

    At least have a few more random Clerics and/or Paladins (with the occasional Warlock or Sorcerer) mustering at BG or the Druid Grove going "Yondalla/Helm/Eilistraee/Lathander/Whoever sent me over here saying a major threat was amassing. Anyone know about that?" or found dead with dairies reading...

    D&D 5E D&D Beyond Releases 2023 Character Creation Data

    So, the Human Champion Fighter with +X Gear and a Bag of Holding still winning out? Nice. Honestly, while I love the Monk, I can see why it's so low (often incongruous theming, poor damage scaling, scattershot identity). Really, If I could take the Barb's Unarmored Defense and the Monk's...

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Hates Religion (Spoilers)

    You post about this setting anywhere and/or have plans to publish it? You've got me hooked. Always love a good Weird Western. On that note: Firearms, yay or nay? Edit: Nevermind, found it myself. https://www.enworld.org/threads/western-fantasy-fantasy-western-campaign-setting-thoughts.701889/

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Hates Religion (Spoilers)

    Reminds me of Beni from The Mummy. When he thinks Imhotep is about to kill him, he starts rattling off Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and Jewish prayers hoping SOMEBODY will listen. The Jewish one actually works, in a sense. Also a bit in Constantine, where one of John's exorcism tools is a tape...

    Pathfinder 2E "Everything I've Said So Far About the God Who Will Die" - Creative Director Luis Loza on Setting Shake-Ups Coming to PF2E in "War of Immortals".

    Posted on r/Pathfinder2e today: Bullet Points from Loza's post: The Prismatic Ray (Shelyn, Desna, and Sarenrae) is my go-to pantheon, so I'm personally TERRIFIED. Who else is sweating bullets? Who do you have your money on to bite it?

    Ben Riggs: 'The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead'

    MY two cents: D&D ain't dying anytime soon, nor is the TTRPG medium itself. I COULD see OneD&D not doing super gangbusters due sheer apathy. "Why do we need this? The one we have is basically the same, anyway." I DO hope some of the 5E clones give it a run for its money, though. But, again...

    Ben Riggs: 'The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead'

    How are they taking to 4E? I'm curious to see what a group without any of the usual bias thinks about it.
