    D&D General You Don’t Have To Leave Wolfy Behind... In 'Pets & Sidekicks' Your Companions Level Up With You!

    This seems like a good idea. The whole point of faithful animal companion is that it should always be there for the hero.

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    Exceptionally delicious. You wouldn't want to feed your pet dungeon denizens anything less. That being said, we definitely have an overpowered party and even in a game of hapless people, I'd want them to be uniquely adapted to meet the challenges.

    Would ACKS be a good fit to capture the BECMI-feel?

    Based on what I have (just now, never heard of this before) read, the creator has threatened forums with legal action and sent in astroturfing teams to squash any criticism of his alt-right views.

    RPG Print News – D&D, Troika!, and More

    Break and anything Troika look interesting but with only so much time and budget, I probably won't get to them. There's too much good everything these days. EDIT: I'm sorry, it's Break!! and Troika!

    Chaosium Names New CEO, Mike Mearls Departs Company

    I am beginning to think that despite all this great art, I should proceed directly to Dukk Borg.

    Chaosium Names New CEO, Mike Mearls Departs Company

    Looking at that glorious legionnaire duck, I would say I'm having the opposite reaction.

    White Dwarf Reflections #20

    It's deceptive! If Tom Wham had anything to do with it, it was great!

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – World's Largest Dungeon, Cosmic Dark, Neon City Outlaws, and more

    There's just never going to be enough time to watch every movie, read every book, and play every game. It's probably healthy that you are realistic about your expectations, if anything! That said, I like to read RPGs I might never play for the lore or the mechanics, just to see it. As a...

    RPG Evolution: If It Kills, We Can Build It

    You might not even need a special skill. Just walk behind the previous, ill-fated folks and waltz into the now exposed/triggered/harmless traps and avoid the now obvious spikes and ignore the now triggered dart throwers, taking everything the corpses have on them. I guess that's how trap reset...

    RPG Evolution: If It Kills, We Can Build It

    Delicious in Dungeon has those cool ecology sections, but it is ALSO an example of "a Wizard did it" as dungeons in the setting are an actual magical effect that can be created and maintained (I think they also imply that they can be naturally occurring).

    D&D General 1s and 20s: D&D's Narrative Mechanics

    I've tried to be good about coming up with terrible things to happen on 1s but I can't always think of clever things. I definitely do the "critical success on a 20" with skill checks that a few people find anathema.

    White Dwarf Reflections #20

    Definitely where I first saw a lot of both of their artwork.

    White Dwarf Reflections #20

    Nice Chris Foss cover* *pretty sure it's Chris Foss... EDIT: It's actually Angus McKie. I knew I'd seen that weird swan-necked ship in a lot of books that also had Chris Foss stuff, but it's not his.
