Even as a WIP, this is great news!

Neat title and cover art. Wishing you the best on its development!

Back in 2012 Frank made a thread claiming that 5e was actually a Vaporware product based on the belief that their annual Christmas layoffs was evidence that the Edition wasn't being worked on at all. 5 years later, a poster performed thread necromancy to say that this is the funniest thread on...

The polling period has since passed, and the winner was Elder Evils, which I also reviewed on this site here. Monte Cook's Iron Heroes and Zelda D20 were the runners up, but TBH I don't know when I'll get around to those.

I think that in 2006 to 2007 they were ahead of the curve on some issues, but didn't really commit to being wholly complete. It's very easy to criticize the shortcomings of a system, another thing entirely to build an alternative. That's probably why wholesale rules revisions such as...

One thing that's been on my mind is the necessity of more in-depth world-building for a tabletop game. The Bethesda-era Wolfenstein video games did a pretty good job at highlighting how the world has changed for the worse in the form of news pamphlets, overheard conversations between civilian...

Unarmed combat better be a worthwhile investment in this game.

I got an email from MythMakers that the first sourcebook is in the home stretch:

I realize that it's been a week since my last post. Normally I'd have finished this Let's Read much earlier, but a variety of IRL issues cropped up that diverted my time. But the good news is that since I'm already in the home stretch, we'll be done with Elder Elders today! Chapter 8: Sertrous...

Reading a lot of these entries is a real blast from the past. Always interesting to see the development of new games and systems over time. And seeing how older ones evolve, too. I am intrigued in what form Old-School Essentials will take, given its major selling point is being...

Chapter 5: the Leviathan It wouldn't be a cosmic horror sourcebook without an unfathomably huge sea creature sleeping in the darkest depths, and who better than the classic Leviathan? This monster is much like the sea serpent of the Abrahamic faiths, created from raw chaos spawned as the...

Drive-Thru RPG Store Page DM's Guild Store Page Note: Back in December, I held an informal poll across multiple forums to gauge reader interest for my next review. The book with the most consistent requests was Elder Evils, followed up by Iron Heroes and the Legend of Zelda D20. For those who...

The "racism equals prejudice plus power" argument doesn't really hold much water today because then you have to bite the bullet on some really weird stuff, like arguing that Kanye West wasn't racist when he said that slavery was a choice for the enslaved and that Hitler was awesome. Or that it's...

Here's a link to the stream I looked at the transcript and attempted to search for certain terms via CTRL + F, and didn't see any mention of Bledsaw, Judges' Guild, racism, or similar topics. I haven't had time to watch it in full. There is someone in the comments section below who has three...
