This image comes from WotC's X feed. I have no idea what this is, nor what it has to do with Dungeons&Dragons, fantasy role playing...

For me, (if I play it at all) I think Draw Steel will be for tactical skirmish games. There's too much going on for me to create...

Yeah, I think it's safe to say Shadowdark isn't for me. In fact, I'd say that the entire OSR isn't for me after many years of trying to...

No, it's not. Both Shadowdark and DCC use spellcasting checks to trade "I can for sure cast this once" for "I can push my luck and...

I don't think it's possible to know "everything you need to know." I wouldn't even try. Go into your session to have fun, look up rules...

I'm clearly not the target market... 1) have no plans to play 5e in the near future (2014 or 2024) 2) always a DM so I don't care about...
