    Doppel Is A Physical Digital Miniature!

    It will look like an oversized pawn. If they can get the size down some I think it will work okay on a table where the other "minis" are regular pawns.

    ICv2 Reports Disappointing Year For Hobby Games Channel: TTRPGs Down, D&D Declines 30%

    I have never seen Magic at a grocery or drug store, but it never occurred to me to look for it there. I will have to see what is tucked away in their small book area.

    Doppel Is A Physical Digital Miniature!

    It's funded this time around. It looks like the equivalent of a digital pawn (with sound). If I played with pawns I might see using this, but using miniatures at my table, I don't think I would be interested, certainly not at the current price.

    D&D (2024) Here's The New 2024 Player's Handbook Wizard Art

    That's an interesting mix of artists. I wouldn't normally put Otus in there with some of the others. While I like your list of artists and I feel that the peak of D&D art occured in 2E times, I really do like this new wizard art. She definitely looks wizardly to me. I wouldn't think that...

    D&D (2024) Here's The New 2024 Player's Handbook Wizard Art

    Regarding gold and white colours being worn by Catholic priests, it isn't as simple as that. The colours of the vestments worn often depend on the current place in the liturgical calendar. The same holds true for hangings in the church. Here is a wikipedia link for seasonal liturgical...

    Save Lovecraft Country From A Time To Harvest

    I believe the item on the back of the photographer is a camera stand. As for the rifle, that certainly does looks awkward. I believe she is supposed to be fishing around in her pouch for some ammo while still holding the rifle in her other hand braced and ready to shoot.

    Dragon Reflections #70

    I also remember it becoming official - probably in one of those books. However, our group ended up rejecting it in the end because the math was wrong. If the justification for the exponential accumulation of dice is due to acceleration, then it should have better matched the velocity curve over...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder To Get New Core Rulebooks Soon

    According to Erik one reason is that classes like the alchemist are more 'techy' or complicated which is they were pushed back to the later book.

    Dragon Reflections #64

    Planet Busters was a great Tom Wham game! This one and King of the Tabletop were the Tom Wham Dragon games we played the most often.

    TSR D&D Historian Ben Riggs on TSR's Salaries in the 1990s

    I recall seeing a posting for a an entry level pen and paper game designer position in Seattle where one of the assets/qualifications they were looking for was a degree that included the Humanities and/or history.

    Lone Wolf (Hero Lab) Lays Off Staff

    Ah, I stand corrected then. So their modules are not licensed 5E material, but are OGL material they have put together along with fan material. I wonder why they went that route?

    Lone Wolf (Hero Lab) Lays Off Staff

    They do have 5E modules for Herolab Classic so it looks like they probably have a 5E license.

    New Releases In Stores This Week : 11th September 2017

    No, if you look at Death on the Reik again you will see that it is a different, but similar Ian Miller illustration. In fact, it is the illustration he did for the cover of the novel "The Forge in the Forest", the second novel in the series the RPG is based on.
