    My spouse is my favourite player!

    What Does the RPG Hobby Need Now?

    A really good collection of D&D starter adventures; don’t care by who. My reasoning is that it’s the tide that lifts all boats.

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    Again, though, this implies that there should also be a bigger industry in Canada, the UK, Japan, etc. But if we do that, then everyone's books (or whatever) get more expensive, and in a lot of places they just won't be made. Free trade makes products less expensive. There are plenty of...

    D&D (2024) Martial/Caster fix.

    I can't comment much on top tier play with D&D2024, having only played through a single level 20 one-shot and watched a few actual play shows. All I can say is that in the game I played, no one felt like their class was underpowered or unable to make significant contributions. I have DMed a lot...

    D&D (2024) Martial/Caster fix.

    Can look at DDB data - fighters are the most popular class by a wide margin, and together fighters, rogues, monks, and barbarians are over represented. This is a pretty broad data point to interpret, but it at least does not indicate an aversion towards martial classes.

    Cool - I didn't know that was a thing!

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Agency is the sequel to The Peripheral, which introduces most of the key characters. Agency must have read a bit oddly without that?

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Did I previously mention This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone? This is a kind of mutliversal romance that is totally unique. It's short, but does an amazing job of building out an extraordinarily rich setting and relationship entirely through epistolary. Romance...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I've just read the first two books of Gibson's new Jackpot trilogy and love them! It's the most out there sci-fi Gibson has ever done in the sense of revolving the plots around a pretty fantastical premise: communications time travel so that a future earth is able to communicate backwards with...

    GMing Mistakes You’ve Made in the Past

    Oh geez...how long do you have? I could write a pretty comprehensive list - if there's a way that a GM can screw up, I've probably done it. One I regret to this day is kind of vetoing a player's character concept, which involved wearing a super creepy mask all the time, everywhere (there player...

    D&D 5E What If Everyone Could Use Scrolls? (House rule)

    50 gp is a lot of money at tier 1, though, which is where my current campaign is, and then they'd have to find someone selling them. They do have access to a magic shop if they travel back to their starting city, and most are saving furiously for a coveted item. To put in context, most...

    D&D General When We Were Wizards: Review of the Completed Podcast!

    I agree - I would love to hear more of her side! But it's probably wise of Lorraine Williams to keep quiet, given the way that a certain segment of the internet would inevitably react to anything she says. She's old and long retired - she doesn't need that.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    I have that model. The good news is that it was free as a KS stretch goal (D&L has very good stretch goal rewards - the same campaign also had a fantastic tarrasque as a SG reward!). The bad is that I was pretty happy with my paint job until I saw yours. That looks fantastic and you'rre not even...

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    Here’s the last two sentences of the post: “Whith my limited knowledge there are currently four countries for plastic miniatures (HIPS/PVC), China, Japan, England, and Poland. With currently only China having the capacity to fulfill the US demands on production.” So…please specify what was...

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    Burden of proof is on you to support your claim, so given that you can't name an example, your claim is currently empty. Moving the goalposts by blaming someone being "rude" for your inability to supply any evidence is weak. Also, here is their post: "Do you have an example of a miniatures or...
