Perhaps "Norse" isn't the write word to use, I don't want to lump everything Scandinavian as "Norse." The later folklore does sound interesting to me! I want to get a greater feel for Scandinavian Myth and Legend and Culture, more than just the distilled "viking fantasy" we get here in the...

"Canonically," the Forgottem Realms is connected to many worlds via portals, including Earth. Lorwyn can be its own distinct setting that is not part of the Realms, and also have a portal connecting it to the Realms. Also, as of 4e, the Feywild invaded the isle of Gwynneth and established the...

I get it. I don't agree because I love Norse stuff, but I get it. I'm particularly interested in this because its not just "Some American or British person's idea of Norse," its the real deal, coming from Sweden. I wanna see how it differs when its not passed through some American game dev's...

I'm super pumped about Trudvang, it seems like a great fit for people who like that mythic northern style of fiction, somewhat Tolkien-esque. Channeling the Icelandic Sagas, the Kalevala, etc... Also its just 4 new books for Dragonbane. Its a system I really like, so I'm pumped to see it...

There's at least one scene in the campaign where Scanlan and Taryon talk to each other, it was definitely played for laughs, with Sam pantomiming back and forth with himself. Works on the tabletop, but maybe not in a show. They all have great range, but even so, in the animated series it might...

C2 is my favorite of their campaigns, so I'm quite looking forward to this. They keep talking about how different its going to be and I'm really excited to see just what that will entail.

I'm aware, but they don't publish nearly as many adventures in this range. There are some notable gaps in the 1-20 level range. I'd like to see them publish more.

Definitely had a knee-jerk upon seeing this, but honestly the change isn't that big. They've been doing smaller APs for awhile now and while I'm not exactly sure of the rate of release 4 of these a year sounds about right. I'd love to see them release some more module length content though...

I asked about the underlying system on reddit and one of the developers responded. Says they started with B/X D&D and then added more bits and bobs as they went to improve the experience. Probably where the crits came from.

I want to know what West Marches discord's y'all were in. Its something I've always wanted to do but its hard to tell a good game apart from the mediocre ones, especially when it comes to a nebulous "discord."

Generally speaking, you don't end in the dungeon or wilderness, you end the session when you get back to town. If that means ending the session a little earlier or later than normal, oh well, but its up to the players to manage their time. There's also plenty of house-rules for things like...

I've never used the X-Card, but I've had situations where we basically invoked it, just without the presence of an actual card. For example, a campaign my brother ran where one of our party was getting flirted with by an NPC. Another of our player's had a new power that allowed him to see...

Oh I did not hear that about Glass Cannon. That's very interesting. I'm very intrigued.

Oh, very cryptic. Very exciting. I know some CR fans are a bit upset by both the DM choice and change of setting, but I couldn't be more excited. I want to see Matt get those wonderful character moments like all his players do, and get them immortalized in fan art.

I hate digital exclusives, especially when you have to buy the overpriced "Ultimate Bundle" to get it. Feels like all the worst things about the EA and Ubisoft business model for video games, but now applied to my favorite analog hobby. Not surprised, just disappointed.
