    D&D General Greyhawk book is NOT 'Shield Lands' but 'Borderlands of Iuz' according to team member

    Didn’t Perkins say, back when he was still with WotC, that in 5e (and by extension I guess 5.5e) only things that are published as 5e products are considered canon? So, at the moment there are no Greyhawk Wars.

    Dungeons & Dragons releases Villainous Options playtest

    Okay, I like Feat paths as a design idea. But I don't see how the content of this UA will ever appeal to a majority of tables? This is essentially gaming material for evil PCs (expect maybe the Titan Druid). Back in the day, when the Book of Vile Darkness was published, NPCs were built the...

    ICV2 numbers from GAMA are interesting

    ICV2 numbers from GAMA are interesting

    Well, if it was released mid-quarter, and still made #2. then it apparently had very strong sales. Doesn't iCV2 measure sales in actual stores - or do I misremember that?

    RPG Evolution: One World, Three Games

    I have run up to three groups in my Liminal RPG game set in the Lake District in the 2010s. Two of them are now inactive, but the third group with a total of around 10 player characters remains active. It created a lot of interactive stories in a small corner of a shared world, not seperated by...

    D&D's Obelisk Plotline Was Supposed to Be Resolved in Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    This explains sooo much about the Vecna adventure. Mostly, why is it was so lackluster.

    Cthulhu By Gaslight Keeper’s Guide Dives Into The Dark Side Of The Era

    I think Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock might have been omitted so that the estate has no reason to sue them.

    Jess Lanzillo Joins White Wolf as Creative Director

    I think that WoD is exactly the opposite of the family-friendly entertainment that WotC is pursuing. WotC has changed a lot since that short time period when they published Ars Magica.

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    The maps in the book / download have name suggestions on them, in case somebody is stuck. Also, the character creation guide contains lists of name for villages & cities, landmarks and names. So there is an assist.

    Critical Role Announces Age of Umbra Daggerheart Campaign, Starting May 29th

    Apparently, you can only spend one armor point on each instance of damage. That point reduces damage to the next lower level.
