Dungeon Master's Screen Wilderness Kit: An In-Depth Review

The latest official Dungeons & Dragons' supplement is the Dungeon Master's Screen Wilderness Kit, arriving slightly after Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, but clearly timed to work with it. However, this is a general wilderness adventure supplement, not one specifically for Icewind Dale or other frozen locations.

Dreadful Realms: Caverns of the Wise Minister (5e)

When I spoke to Steffie De Vaan about Masks of Theros, she mentioned working with Cat Evans and Liz Gist on the project (among others). On the strength of Masks of Theros, I was excited to hear about Liz and Cat producing a new 5e project on Kickstarter, Dreadful Realms: Caverns of the Wise Minister from Ex Stasis Games. They agreed to talk about their dark fantasy setting, the extras they’re...

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything: An In-Depth Review

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything is the latest optional rule book for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons but this “optional” book is very likely to become a must-have for most DMs and players. In fact, it's possible that it's the single more useful 5E supplement so far, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Worlds of Design: The Benefit of Experience

This is a discussion of how one decision in game design can make so much difference in how everything works. In this case we’re talking about RPGs, specifically how XP (experience points) are awarded. What are the consequences of using one method or another (or a combination)?

My Favorite Player Options From Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything

This week brings the release of Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything and with it, the giddy anticipation of Christmas Eve for Dungeons & Dragons fans.

Worlds of Design: Baseline Assumptions of Fantasy RPGs

You can write a set of fantasy role-playing game (FRPG) rules without specifying a setting, but there’s a default or baseline setting assumed by virtually everyone when no setting is specified. Moreover, some rules (e.g. the existence of plate armor, and large horses) imply things about technology and breeding in the setting.
