    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    I received the two Robert Jordan Conan Chronicles compilations last Christmas (I previously read all the Howard stories). I started reading one of them a few days ago.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I recently picked up the Imperium Maledictum CRB, and the Blade Runner RPG Starter Set + Core Book.

    Effects of tariffs on game sales (e.g. US/Canada shipments) (No Politics!)

    Tread carefully, friend. OP made it clear they didn't want this to turn into a political debate. While we can agree that there should be 0 cross-border fentanyl trafficking and illegal migration (I'll add to that illegal weapons smuggling which goes south to north), fact is that only 1% of...

    Effects of tariffs on game sales (e.g. US/Canada shipments) (No Politics!)

    They do, but the new US Administration is able to bypass CUSMA (or USMCA, depending on which side of the border you're on) thanks to a clause pertaining to a "national emergency." Won't be long 'til he applies the same logic to EU and other countries...

    Effects of tariffs on game sales (e.g. US/Canada shipments) (No Politics!)

    I'm Canadian, and I've noticed that many Free League, Cubicle 7, Chaosium, and Edge Studio products I've purchased in recent years from Canadian retailers were printed in Lithuania (though some Chaosium products were printed in China and Poland, as well)... so perhaps they come directly to us...

    How important is it to you or your players for characters to feel "overpowered"?

    As both a player and GM, I despise "overpowered" PCs, at least early in a campaign. Of the six players in the group for which I am currently DMing, only one player feels driven to create what I would consider overpowered superheroes... even when I stated specifically from the start (and brought...

    What Property Do You Still Want to See Get a TTRPG Adaptation

    MAD MAX... that's the only one I'd be interested in picking up at this point (and yes, I know, you can easily do post-apocalyptic sci-fi with existing systems).

    RPG Books with the Best Art

    My vote also goes to Free League, and to The One Ring 2nd Ed and Symbaroum (or Ruins of Symbaroum 5E) in particular.

    TSR What's Your Favorite Basic Modules?

    Hands down B10... nothing else even comes close.

    D&D (2024) WotC Invites You To Explore the World of Greyhawk

    I guess... <shrug> As far as I'm concerned, that kind of official recognition only kind-of-matters if you're going to try and sell Greyhawk content you've created on the DM's Guild. And even then... I've seen loads of products on the Guild that either overlook, interpret in their own way...

    D&D General Greyhawk: Snarf's Guide to Ready-Made Campaign Themes!

    Deleted. Another poster previously covered the essence of my reply, no need to rehash.

    D&D (2024) WotC Invites You To Explore the World of Greyhawk

    Why should they? Everything in D&D can be incorporated into Greyhawk as the DM sees fit, as has been the case ever since the setting was first published. Aside from a few noteworthy exceptions, references to non-human races were very limited in the original sources (1980 folio and 1983 boxed...

    D&D General Greyhawk: Snarf's Guide to Ready-Made Campaign Themes!

    To be fair though, both the 1980 Greyhawk Folio and 1983 boxed set were published before any Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance product. If isolationist elves are a boring trope, it may be because they were replicated in many other D&D settings that came after (and were more detailed than)...

    D&D (2024) WotC Invites You To Explore the World of Greyhawk

    @Yaarel In the end... does any of this really matter? MAKE IT YOUR OWN, however you want that to be. That's been the intent of the setting and its creator all along. Do what seems most believable/realistic and/or enjoyable to you. There is absolutely no need for a consensus... so why is this...

    D&D (2024) WotC Invites You To Explore the World of Greyhawk

    Perhaps! And I could certainly be convinced that what you're suggesting here might work in my own campaign, too. But nothing's carved in stone... the names and connections are vague (inconsistent?) enough that there's plenty of room for each DM to make of them -- and their respective peoples --...
