    Worlds of Design: The Warship Trinity

    Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet series does a good job of making realistic space combat narrative and exciting.

    Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos Returns to 5E D&D

    Lovecraft's ip is in the public domain, which is why we see so much Cthulhu...stuff out there. I don't know what Chaosium holds re: licensing, but it's not game mechanics or Lovecraft's works.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    I just read the Player's Quickstart Guide in anticipation of teaching this game to 6th graders on Tuesday. Simple and elegant rules. I have found 5e too difficult to explain in the limited time I have with the youths each week. I'm going to hand them premade characters, run them through...

    TTRPG Podcasts

    Happy Black Friday for all who celebrate. I am looking for some podcast recommendations. I don't like to listen or watch actual plays, but I'm interested in pods that talk about games and gaming. Also, while I do like Youtube, I generally listen to audio pods on my phone at the gym, or in my...

    Community and Thankfulness

    I recently watched Matt Colville's long video about finding an online community in the TTRPG space, and I wanted to share a thought I had. I am grateful for the ENWorld Community. There are many, many, many spaces to talk about TTRPGs with people on the internet, but in most that I've found, the...

    Dragonbane general thread [+]

    Late to this convo, but I can tell you that we played Dragonbane with no whimsy (no ducks or wolfkin at PCs) and it went great. The monsters hit hard for sure, but it was a great mini-campaign.

    Drivethru RPG doesn't release any kind of sales data, or VTT companies?

    Sales Information for TTRPGs

    Friends, is there any way to know how TTRPG systems are selling in the world? Like how much Dragonbane is being sold vs. D&D 5e, or Dungeon Crawl Classics vs. Shadowdark, for example? I can't find any good information. Is it just not out there?

    Other D&D Variant Castles&Crusades: Codex Exaltum and Codex Infernum

    I haven’t read the whole thing yet; but what I did read was great. I read the beginning part talking about all of these creatures in general, but I haven’t gone through every entry yet.I don’t know if you can post pictures from books on these forums, or I would share an entry.

    Other D&D Variant Castles&Crusades: Codex Exaltum and Codex Infernum

    The author took pains to explain that they are good, but they are not your friends. An example from the text: the angels that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah were good, but they eradicate an entire city full of men, women, and children.
