    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    Just going by the date, the third digital expansion will be a Thanksgiving-themed adventure. Or maybe Christmas. Okay, maybe not.

    Starfinder Player Core Review

    Look, I don't want to be a grumpy old guy, but I would love to read a more critical assessment of this book. Is 2E an improvement over 1E? (Having played SF 1E and PF 2E I feel sure that it probably is.) It just seems like every Paizo product gets glowingly positive reviews here. [I am not a...

    D&D In a Castle Organizer to Launch D&D Dungeon Master University

    The article says that the learning tracks will take place over four days. So, that's confusing.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Page Count, Contents Revealed

    There are people (like me) who would have no idea what that means. I know there is a show or something with that name? But seriously, I know nothing at all about it.

    Origins Game Fair Confirms 19K Attendees in 2025

    Just to balance out the earlier comment: I've been to Origins 24 times, and I have literally never smelled sweat. People love to perpetuate this unkind myth that gamers don't bathe, but I've had only positive experiences. There was one point I walked through the food court and it smelled like...

    Freebies, Sales, and Charity Bundles for June 1, 2025

    Psst... it's "Dark Sun," not "Dark Suns."

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    As someone who backed the unfulfilled 2014 KS, there's no way in h*ll that I'd back this.

    I need to know more about the Debatable Lands.

    Monsters & More: An In-Depth Review of the 2025 D&D Monster Manual

    The PHB Rules Glossary says that a "monster" is any creature controlled by the DM, even if that creature is benevolent. Personally, I find that a poor definition of the word, but that's the official stance. Can we all agree (of course we can't) that the book is called "Monster Manual" because...

    Why Dungeons & Dragons Isn't Putting Out a Campaign Book in 2025

    As someone who DMs a lot and doesn't always have a lot of time or motivation to do a lot of prep, I like the campaign books. I'd also be okay with another compilation of conversions of older adventures, just because I enjoy that stuff. But we're not that far out from Infinite Staircase, so...

    WizKids to Release Glow-in-the-Dark D&D Miniatures

    I have the same mixed feelings about these as I have about glow-in-the-dark dice. Yes, they're fun, but how would you actually use them?

    2025 Monster Manual Will Contain Over 85 New Monsters

    Forever DM here. I hope they made all the monsters 50% tougher. I'm currently running the Vecna adventure, and I swear no one at Wizards has any idea how to challenge a high-level party. All the fights are much too easy for high-level characters. Obviously, I can do things on my own to make them...

    I realize this is my own fault for not nominating it, but no Adventure Time RPG? Or is it not eligible for some reason?

    RPG Evolution: Gift Ideas for Your Gaming Group 2024

    "Accommodate up to 4 dices..." No! Bad ad! If you're selling a dice-related product, please use the correct plural. (I know everyone hates pedantry, but come on!)
