    Arc Dream Announces Black Company RPG

    How did Glen Cook get persuaded to license TBC for another go around? Maybe Shane Ivey and Dennis Detwiller let him read the intro flavor text for Delta Green - the "What is Delta Green" page on their website. (Delta Green » What Is Delta Green?) which has a very dark Black Company kinda vibe.

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    WOTC said what they wanted to do. The other people at the table said, "Are you sure?" And WOTC said - maybe not, lemme reconsider.

    I own too many books to have room for a 'book nook'! They are cute though.

    Backerkit Announces Crowd Funding Platform

    Just backed a project there two days ago! https://www.backerkit.com/c/westley-coleman/novel-bookwallets-2-0#top It is a followup to a successful Kickstarter campaign from a year or two ago. So they were able to use updates to that campaign to drive attention to the new site.

    The Hidden Costs of Game Mastering

    And if the players all kick in $5, it's a shared cost everybody gets to benefit from. That's how several books with player options got bought at my table.

    D&D 5E Medieval D&D Character Sheets

    That appears to be info "pasted" into the editable form, not a hard coded part of the character sheet itself. Just sayin'.

    The Lost Art of Dungeon-Crawling

    For this kind of dungeon, there's no requirement that the PCs explore the whole thing now or ever. It's kind of a variation on a city if it is done well. You might just visit the top layer for some reason, get what you need and leave. But the knowledge that there's more levels, more stuff, etc...

    'Cure Wounds' is D&D's Most Popular Spell

    I once used that spell on three gargoyles which were flying after my party (we were on an airship). Flight + Incapacitated => tremendous falling damage!

    The Mountain Goats Announces Dungeons & Dragons-Inspired Album

    Song didn't inspire anything for me. Maybe it ties into the other songs on the album?? Lyrics were kinda all over the place suggesting stories, but didn't actually tell one.

    Burning Questions: Why Do DMs Limit Official WOTC Material?

    Anybody remember 3rd edition? Limiting player options was the only way to preserve DM sanity. 4th edition too. As for 5th edition, here's another Xanathar's Guide example. When a player wanted to take the Ceremony spell from Xanathar's Guide to Everything, pg. 151, I kinda went nuts - Here's...

    Dragon Reflections #1: A New Arrival
