    Shadowrun deserves better

    Yes the kick starter is not being run by catalyst, CGL is only promoting it.

    Shadowrun deserves better

    Honestly I can’t blame CGL for not supporting SR as sales are likely no where near Battletech or even their board game sales. SR6 and SRA are popular in France so The sales there are good

    Shadowrun deserves better

    Shadow run anarchy 2.0 is not being kickstart or created by catalyst it’s being created by a French company who licensed it and did all the translation/localization for SRA1

    D&D 5E (2024) DnD 5e designer [Mike Mearls] explains how INDIE RPGs are taking over

    I think if there was some way that we could combine good data from start playing, roll20, alchemy, and a few of the other VTT‘s we could get a really good look at the VTT segment of the population but likelihood of those companies are wanting to share is very low.

    D&D 5E (2024) DnD 5e designer [Mike Mearls] explains how INDIE RPGs are taking over

    In regards to the seats at conventions issue, we have a small convention in Kansas City, Midwest Game Fest, which is coming up in about three weeks. There are tons (relative to con size) of pathfinder, Starfinder, and DND 5e games being run but they are only at about 30% seats filled. Every...

    D&D 5E (2024) DnD 5e designer [Mike Mearls] explains how INDIE RPGs are taking over

    Dragonbane has a mountain of 3rd party content, a large dedicated fan base, and it’s easy to write for. It really is a sleeper as I see little “content” on YouTube (check out the AARPGs play through, they have 47 out of 50 episodes up). Free league just expanded their 3rd party license to all...

    D&D Jihad: People Who Are Unwell

    As some one who did this kind of work in the army and still says current with the “industry” its awesome to see some one promote trust me in a non professional crisis comms or PR space. Its such a good look into how influence ops works IRL.

    D&D Jihad: People Who Are Unwell

    This pretty much describes all of X now. You have to ask yourself if its worth staying on there, for me it was not.

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk: The Shield Lands

    A stunt is designed to generate loud but short lived audience engagement vs most PR which is focused on building brand good will over the long term which is to be spent later when your C suite does some thing stupid or you have to take unpopular actions. Hasbro/WOTC has one of the worst comms...

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk: The Shield Lands

    This reeks of a PR stunt, “DnD and Gygax back together again!” Who is the target audience for this? What market niche are they hoping to exploit by bringing back Greyhawk, an ancient and nearly forgotten setting and attaching the Gygax name (hallowed saints among the OSR).

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    Just coming back to this thread to respond to the title, gonna let you know that the Books A Million in my little tiny ass town in Central Kansas has more Cosmere RPG stuff on the shelf for sale than Dungeons & Dragons. The clerk told me its out selling all the other role playing books.

    Why I Hate Skills

    First off your rolling to often as most people who don’t play skill bases systems do. Per page 31 of the core rule book in the call out box labeled “ONLY ONE CHANCE” “As a rule, you only have one chance to succeed with any action. Once you have rolled the dice, you may not roll again to achieve...

    Why do so many campaigns never finish? Genuinely curious what others think

    I personally believe there are two main reasons. One is GM burn out especially for games with complex rules like DnD5e the second is that long campaigns are inherently unnatural as most stories are relatively short and have well defined beginning middle end structure. If you look at the vast...

    AI/LLMs Ryan Dancey & AEG Part Ways Following AI Comments

    I love how he just pinballs through high level industry jobs doing either unremarkable or actively damaging work and then blows himself up by saying the stupidest takes in public. Lets see which gaming company hires him next since its clear hes blessed by the gods of failing up.
