D&D as an eSport? I can be a competitor! I think I will either join the Roll20.com team or the Chesex team. Who will offer me the better sponsorship?

Why? They haven't even done a campaign setting for the Realms. You know why? Because we have campaign guides for it and so many others already. The fluff is just as fluffy as before. If they are going to do a setting guide, why not give us something we don't have 2-4 previous versions of?

Expanse RPG just announced, releases next month but is kickstarting ? How is this even possible? And how is this timeline even encouraging? At that rate, they should offer proofreading and playtesting as stretch goals.

As of July 1st, the 666 page updated PDF of Masks of Nyarlathotep for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition and Pulp Cthulhu is available for purchase and download.

The half-elf sorcerer in my current campaign is romancing the NPC priestess of Tymora every time we return from monster genocide.

settle down. There is no need to patronize me. I am well aware I don't need to buy them. Trust me, that won't be a problem. I'm just wondering if this is the start of a trend where the Critical Role brand will eclipse the D&D brand. But it's fine. If people like them, they like them. And they...

Critical Role miniatures? They look like nice sculpts and all but it looks like a blatant cash grab to me. I m finding myself a bit offended that D&D miniatures can't just be D&D miniatures, that they have to tie into a twitch/YouTube stream to get attention. Am I overreacting or does supporting...

I guess I'm an oddball because while I was really into Geek and Sundry from the start, I wasn't a fan of Critical Role. Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against it but I couldn't bring myself to watch 4 hours of weekly D&D when I could run my own game in the same time (and I did). It started...

Personally, I don't think the cabbage seller would accept platinum coins he DOES recognize either unless you are buying a LOT of cabbage. That's like buying a box of Kraft mac with a $1000 bill

I have been to a few FRPG days in the past few years at my local store and even tried out new games (which is kind of the point) but the owner has been so frustrated that most people just want to demand their swag and leave. They don't play or buy anything. Just give me my free stuff so I can...

It also wouldn't hurt to bring a pencil and some dice

Props to Morrus for the Cthulhu is rising joke. Funny, I am just prepping to start my first Call of Cthulhu (7e) campaign. But I didn't realize I am part of a trend. It seems the stars are right!

This was a redhead in the original myths. Marvel comics made him blonde As for whether he should be statted as a pc, I'm pretty sure he was statted up in the 3rd edition Deities & Demigods. You could look that up and convert to 5E if you prefer.

If I started having characters swimming like fish, surviving the vacuum of space unprotected, and stealing plate mail off the guards wearing them, I think I would hit that world with an asteroid and start over. I understand the desire to be awesome and epic at high levels but these are like...

That s great! Now I'm even more inclined to get it! Let's hope Chaosium releases the pdf as scheduled!
