    Underrated RPGs

    Radiance Role Playing Game is a favorite of mine. Published in 2008, it borrows from 3rd and 4th editions of D&D, add some steampunk and retro sci fi, and packages it in an elegant system with meaningful choices at every level-up. And, the pdf is free.

    Black Flag Sell Me on Tales of the Valiant

    Totally. In any game you're playing, if there's a Monster Vault version use that one. If not, see if there's a Tome of Beasts or Creature Codex NPC that will work. The WotC bags of hit points are a last resort.

    Black Flag Sell Me on Tales of the Valiant

    Tales of the Valiant and D&D2024 both set out on similar missions at about the same time - to improve aspects of D&D2014 without invalidating previously published content that both companies hope to continue selling. They ended up with some cases of convergent evolution, some overall power...

    What Is Your Favorite Campaign Setting?

    Midgard (Kobold Press). The familiarity/ strangeness ratio of its Slavic/ Germanic/ Norse mythical inspiration just hits the right spot for me.

    How VTT Automation Exacerbates D&D Market Control

    That would be Foundry. FGU has by far the best automation for D&D5e. Foundry has the best automation for PF2. Which is sad for me as I have thousands of dollars in Fantasy Grounds and found it impossible to compete with Foundry GMs to attract Pathfinder players. But— there has been a big...

    D&D 5E World Building: Army building

    If this is a big part of your game, either Kingdoms & Warfare or Crowns & Castles has useful rules for it. K&W assumes that PCs don’t directly interact with troops but the players play the army units as a side game, and the results of the side game give the PCs bonuses on their mission. C&C...
