    Kobold Press Announces 'Cozy' RPG Riverbank

    I guess 'cottaging' is not a term familiar to most people on here then.. :) Because cottage + 'core' evokes something very different for people this side of the pond!

    Lol, 'cottagecore'.. seriously?

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder To Get New Core Rulebooks Soon

    DMG 2 is a great book but was certainly not 'essential' for 4e. Neither was the PHB 2, 3 or any of the other player books for that matter, if you didn't explicitly want to play the classes therein.

    ToV So What's In Kobold Press' BLACK FLAG First Playtest?

    I must be inhabiting a different reality, because everyone seems to be calling for this to be lighter than 5e, yet surely the market is saturated with lighter versions of D&D, and 5e in particular. Meanwhile there is only one game, Level Up A5e, which goes in the other direction (and people...

    Ginny Di interviews WotC's Kyle Brink

    Anyone who believes WotC's concern was genuinely about 'toxic OGL content', now or in the future, there's several bridges I'd like to interest you in.

    Kyle Brink Interviewed by Teos Abadia (Alphastream) on OGL, WotC, & D&D

    'C-level executives' seems very apt.

    D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

    Strictly speaking a Github repository, but yes one created by a fan of 4e as a place to successfully develop and host the 4e clone you were wondering about.

    D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

    Yes that's correct - indeed I don't think there's any intention to make it into a 'product'. HTH.

    So how do we respond?

    Fine, but then it's not an open license. It places ill-defined and context-dependent restrictions on what the user can do, so it can't be safely used.

    D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

    It exists and it's great: Orcus

    D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

    Nah I'll just carry on playing 4e. With the VTTs we have these days, it's just getting even better. I looked at PF2, but the monsters look like a massive pain to run compared to 4e. All those spells to look up! But if I absolutely had to switch systems for fantasy, I suppose I'd give it strong...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Permanently Removes The Term 'Race'

    I understand why they want to drop the term 'race', even though the reality is that races are an inherently fantastical idea, and the races in fantasy games are effectively a gamification of it, albeit (these days usually) shorn of their prejudicial and unpleasant social consequences. Thus I'm...

    I'm torn. Looks like a beautiful book. I'm not a huge fan of the Y0 system but can live with it. More substantially though, I don't really want my BR game filled with BR2049 lore. 2049 was a decent enough movie, but for me with this setting less is more. The more Ridley Scott and others spelled...
