Care to share your source? I mean, they JUST revealed a slate of 2026 releases with alternate cover art…

This is one of those topics where people have strong and often emotionally charged opinions, with implications relating to intelligence, attention span, and adaptability often being bandied. For me, I think digital tools are fine and useful, but I prefer physical media. My brain has an easier...

Aww, yeah! Time to fight moon Nazis and Mecha-Hitler!

Monster truckers AND space truckers (Clustertruck) in the same year?! This truly is a new golden age of TTRPGs.

Fair, though the cover otherwise looks the same with a text swap on the Renegade website.

I wonder what this means for the setting book that was next on the docket as far as timeframe goes? As a random aside, the change in name of the Encyclopedia to Creature Catalog is very funny to me. Brings to mind the ham-fisted Cauldron of Everything used for the sake of recognizable...

Huh. This makes me wonder if the murmurings of a 6e being in development had a kernel of truth.

I was really disappointed when the obelisks got downgraded to It felt like a tacked on Baldur’s Gate 3 tie-in. I can imagine a satisfying 5e send-off adventure that was some kind of mashup of Doomed Forgotten Realms as the call to action, a planes-hopping tour à la Vecna: Eve of Ruin as the...

I’ve mostly stopped backing TTRPG books at this point. In many cases it is a cost savings to just buy at retail, and the delivery timeframe is barely different.

This is an interesting consideration. So much DMs Guild content is semi-defunct with 5e ‘24, but these are the only own-able versions of some of these products since DDB could go up in smoke on a whim some year. We’ll see how they handle it.

I went on one of those expeditions as a guest once. Ended up stepping on a butterfly and changing basic grammar and the results of an important election. The tour guide shot me after! Do not recommend.

Never played Coriolis (I hear good things), but that title gave me a hazy thought. There has to be some kind of untapped market for a Flowers for Algernon inspired indie or solo journaling kind of game. 🤔

Hmm...I wonder if genre expectations will clash with corporate squeamishness here. I've read a handful of romantasy books my wife recommended, and they are incredibly graphic at times.

Well deserved! I think they will be a good fit for that role given their body of work and significant community interaction.

Seeing use of generative AI gives me a strong, immediate feeling of disgust. I associate it with blatant (yet somehow legal) white collar theft, shortsighted mass layoffs, utility bill increases without recourse, environmental damage, and an economic bubble that is going to become all of our...
