    Updates on Age of Sigmar RPG Include New Name

    Nah... not my cup of tea. The AoS setting is way too generic and "primary colors" for me. It probably suffers from being too young to be fully fleshed out but when I think of interconnected planar campaigns I think of Planescape... where you had a mature, philosophical approach to the nature...

    It's a Drizzt! "Timeless" - New Drizzt Do'Urden Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore

    Loved the first trilogy as a teen... but IMO it hasn't aged well... or with grace... both story and writing have not grown with time. Then again I am old and cantankerous... I've replaced Salvatore with Polansky and Rothfuss, but if any young one finds inspiration in the likes of Drizzt I will...

    D&D 5E Very very new to the D&D world.

    Hey Tyler! I'm happy to host a 'training session' via Fantasy Grounds if you'd like. I've done it for other new players as well and works well as a controlled environment to get a feel for the game.

    D&D 5E What happened to the Hermaphrodites???

    OP here... and whoa look at the posts! My group will really enjoy reading through all the responses to what we thought was a relatively innocuous question. A big thank you to all of you for your collected wisdom, wordsmithing and the occasional acrimony! We had always used the term strictly in...

    D&D 5E What happened to the Hermaphrodites???

    Having recently introduced my Italian group to the joys of 5th Ed via a converted Spelljammer setting, the topic came up of how inclusive this new edition is when mentioning potential LGBT themes or non-binary genders during character creation. In order to illustrate this I directed their...

    Need advice: creating PC's within the context of a unfamiliar setting.

    As a DM you can can create a Tolkienesque backstory, a beautifully created map, an evocative setting and a truly engrossing intro manual that should fire up their imaginations and creative juices. But... All of this, all of this will fall flat upon its face if the Players are not on board with...

    How to spice up this chimera/trap encounter?

    You could go with a radically different approach and running the chimera as an NPC... less of a traditional chimera and more along the lines of 'summoned guardian in the shape of a chimera', by which I mean that while it is compelled by the magic that binds it to fight the adventurers have it...

    Best rules for a space trading game?

    Look up Rogue Trader by FFG... might not be the most rules-light system out there but the atmosphere and the fluff of that game are in a league of their own.

    You Can Play TORMENT: TIDES OF NUMENERA Tomorrow (Sort Of)

    Backed this via Kickstarter and very excited... just wish they'd stop comparing, alluding and extolling this game as a successor to Planescape Torment: the setting is just so vastly different, I guess it just rubs my nostalgia the wrong way. If they can recreated the same Operatic Story that...
