I recall that too but am equally unsure. But also it’s somewhat gratifying to realize that even pros in this sphere sometimes lose track. I lost it a long while ago.

Is Erin Roberts an A5E contributor too, like the other recent hires??

Favorite cartographer, love his work

I saw Goodman Games new crowdfunding project. My biggest reason for choosing not to support them is my strong dis-incentive to support any American companies lately. I’m Canadian, I spent a lot less of my disposable income on American goods this year, mainly due to the USA’s threats to annex my...

I wouldn’t go so far as to say “system neutral” but there’s a buttload of fluff and lots of detail around it. Next time you’re at your FLGS, flip through any of the Lost Omens books for Pathfinder, you’ll get a good sense of what to expect. Pathfinder is a pretty crunchy system, so even their...

Okay, don’t play it then if you find it boring.

Is a leaf a branch?

Impossible Magic is gonna be very cool, it’s probably the biggest thing that still needed updating for Remastered 2E.

For what it’s worth, I like your count and the logic behind it, it makes a lot of sense to me. One of the reasons I like it: you excluded 4E Essentials. I was a fan of that line, and I maintain that it was a content expansion for 4E not a new edition.

This kinda disappoints me, because it’s not likely to happen again this way. Today if some kid wants to break into the industry, they’ve gotta throw their stuff into the ocean of content on DMsGuild or DriveThruRPG and then self-promote on social media and hope it gets traction somewhere (not to...

RIP. Did he used to post on ENWorld, or am I thinking of someone else? I know there have been a few of the old TSR authors active here over the years.

I looked at the campaign and all the artwork looks similar. I don’t even dislike it, it’s quite suitable D&D art (in the modern, light-hearted style) but yes, definitely not “grim”.

Yes. So tragic, so grim. He’s carrying a scythe, you see. And he wishes it were raining. And his girlfriend just dumped him. It’s all quite grim.

Must’ve been something like that, you’re right they all came out of nowhere. I think it might slightly predated the pandemic though, I remember looking at such dice around Xmas 2019. No doubt that the pandemic-era “I need a side-hustle” culture just turbocharged it, the same way that D&D got...
