    ElfQuest TTRPG Returns For New Printing

    I have Elfquest 2nd Edition - it looks like it’s just a compilation of the Elfbook and Worldbook from the 1e boxed set plus the Companion supplement and the map attached in the back. I read it back in the day but never played it. I could not think of a better story than the original quest. I’m...

    D&D (2024) How D&D Beyond Will Handle Access To 2014 Rules

    So glad I went all-in with 5E 2014 on Roll20.net. The only item I have on D&D Beyond is the 2014 5E PHB that I got with the Essentials Kit. Nothing will change with my two 5E 2014 online games. My buddy uses Above VTT for his game so he and his players have some work to do - hope the Uber fans...

    RPG Evolution: Change is Coming

    I saw an interview with one of the D&D guys, Crawford I think, that said you can use a 2014 character in a 2024 game if there is no 2014 equivalent of that class in 5E 2024.

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    I run 5E without the optional feats. I provided feedback during the play-test for optional feats in 5E Revised (5ER) but could see that’s not where the revision was going. It looks like the feats at baked-in throughout 5ER. The rest of the changes are great so I’m hopeful I’ll be able to find...

    The DC20 fantasy RPG just hit $1.3 million. It looks like a great project for the 50th anniversary of our hobby. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thedungeoncoach/dc20/description

    Voidrunner Here's What The Voidrunner's Codex Box Set Looks Like

    I had not heard of it - I associate the word paranormal with horror so it did not come up in searches. I just looked it up on DTRPG and read the reviews. It looks like what I’ve been looking for but then I noticed Midjourney AI in the artist credits. Unfortunately, I’m not currently supporting...

    Voidrunner Here's What The Voidrunner's Codex Box Set Looks Like

    Fantastic! I just signed up for the launch - I’m looking for both dedicated classes and something for other PCs similar to like wild talents from older editions. Besides the Psionics the other sci-fi and sci-fantasy elements look very interesting - can’t wait to check it out more at launch - thanks!

    Voidrunner Here's What The Voidrunner's Codex Box Set Looks Like

    I wonder if these are new Psionics rules or more Psionic-subclasses? I want to add Psionics to my 5E game and have not found the right fit yet. Hope this is innovative.

    Worlds of Design: The Improv Imbalance

    I started my GM life decades ago using published adventures. They still required improvisation for NPCs and unexpected side quests and other shenanigans the PCs would add to the adventure. I simply use characters, plots, and other elements from all the novels, movies, and TV I watched. I also...

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    I think licensed IP was the main attraction. That’s how my group heard of them. That worked for Nightfall Games too - we went all in on The Terminator RPG. Oh, and Free League with the AlLIEN RPG. In fact, I guess you could say the same for Modiphius with Conan, Star Trek, etc. Maybe consider...

    Worlds of Design: The Art of Improv

    I’m in the 81-100% category although I make exceptions for published adventures with very good reviews that my players want to play. Currently, running Chronicles of the Gatekeeper (Star Wars F&D) and about to start Chains of Asmodeus (5E). My favorite game I’m running right now though is my...

    Dragon Reflections #74

    1983. My buddy gifted me the famous BECMI Red Box so we could play our RPG lunch games with rules besides the diceless ‘points system’ I kept in my head. Fun times.

    Ben Riggs: 'The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead'

    I'm currently DMing two 5E groups of 12 players total. Not one fan of the 2024 D&D 5E play test changes so far except for the changes to inspiration that we already added to our games. The mandatory feats are a big turn off for us. With few exceptions we do not use the optional feats in our 2014...
