some people may tell you that, but you do not need to believe them, and going by the 2024 DMG neither does WotC

I like the use of four stats. It may be an aesthetic that is a matter of taste, but I like it. I like the Build-a-Class method of...

I am not sure about the latter one, if you make the DM's life hard, there is less incentive to be a DM. On top of that I am not...

It’s hard for me to rate with a single number, because there are things about it I really like and things about it I really dislike...

Polygon had their review posted to their RSS feed and then yanked it down before I could read it this morning. It definitely feels like...

Just noticed the 2 core books are now available in POD on DTRPG! Woot!
