I wonder if this has to do with everybody's favourite demon lord/god... Squints at subtitles, oh it does.

There's definitely some gems in this list, along with more than a fewer stinkers. I recently reread the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy, it's still fun. Ditto the first few Drizzt trilogies. I enjoyed the Dark Sun Prism Pentad series, even if I can understand the frustration since I wouldn't...

It's not posted anywhere, but the implication is the month of Darkness is coming through Renegade's US Store (instead of EU or UK). They only ship to US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, and those are the only countries with shipping rates in the bundle.

Huh, in related news Starbreeze has cancelled development of their D&D project: https://www.eurogamer.net/payday-developer-starbreeze-cancels-dungeons-and-dragons-project-to-focus-on-its-flagship-franchise-two-years-after-it-was-announced So there's no net change in number of D&D video games in...

That's actually one of the complaints about Mongoose Traveller. The lack of lethality during character generation makes it more beneficial to serve endless terms before entering the game. I.e. Starting the game as a 8 term general or scientist emeritus with huge skills and collected wealth. A...

Bundle of Holding also has deal on Shadow of the Weird Wizard: https://bundleofholding.com/presents/WeirdWizard

That's a really loaded question, since it depends on your constraints. I'll take the 1994 Planescape Campaign Setting box set, since I'm obsessed with old strange settings. MSRP is $30 USD, with inflation that's about $65 (still cheaper than Adventures in the Multiverse I guess?). Ebay has that...

The savings grace for the modern collector is the ability to go digital. The majority of these titles are available in PDF for a reasonable price with the occasional sales. I'd probably be reckless enough to shell out $600-700 today for a complete set of Planescape or Darksun, but it would...

I made the mistake of collecting all the 5e books and all of the 5.5e to date. This article has reminded me that I would be out of house and home if I had collected all the previous editions...

There are definetly fan expansions and hacks of Blades in the Dark that would require the core book. Otherwise the Forged in the Dark license is extremely open so all the major products officially called Forged in the Dark I've seen are complete games unto themselves.

Oof, the US only nature of the Blade's in the Dark backerkit is a gut punch. I guess I'll try and scrounge it up at retail later.

The plain BBcode works :) emote I hate to say it, but I don't even really notice a difference at Polygon these days, for better or worse. The best round up on everything I saw was from their former sister site, the Verge...

Thursday was Traveller Day, so there's a few displacement tons of bundles available... Free Trader Beowulf https://bundleofholding.com/presents/FreeTrader Mongoose Traveller 2e Mongoose Traveller 2E Bundle Pirates of Drinax Traveller Pirates of Drinax Bundle Traveller Imperium Tour...

I've lost count at how many video game news sites I've switch from due to closures/buy outs/etc. On the tabletop side, losing Dicebreaker hurt and it does sound like Charlie Hall got laid off with this one. In hindsight, it really makes me appreciate that EN World is still alive and well.

I've been happy with the Traveller books I've been picking up through them. No more errors/typos than a Wizards of the Coast product at least. I think they had some quality issues a few years back, before I started Traveller and well after the d20 boom/crash. They switched to releasing pdf...
