I am looking to start an English language D&D group that will play online every other Tuesday night (European time). Check out my pitch at the link below, and get in touch (here on ENWorld) if you are looking for something like that. Tuesday D&D-ish in Engl-ish - SonntagsHelden - Deine...

The Tombs of Atuan - Ursula LeGuin

Seems a bit funny to me as well. Guess they wanna focus on goblins, not orcs? What bugs me is that so much is going on in one little village? Don't the PCs want to see the wider world? What kind of world-breaking conspiracy is going to be so attracted to nowheresville that it will power a...

I'd have been a fan of defining metamagic generally as options for upcasting any spell -- not just the 20% of current D&D spells that have their upcasting options defined. We already have upcasting in D&D, just make that the standard way to achieve metamagic like twinning, boosting duration...

Just want to say this sounds like a terrific product. Super interested to see how you've let the fantasy poke through into the real world here and there. And that art you've shared is terrific! It's superior to the level even in Wizards' hardcovers.

Too many plot twists to be realistic, right?

Recently I was going through my pile of old RPG papers and I found an interesting amateur RPG product. Back in the early 90s in Gainesville Florida I somehow acquired a black and white stapled volume of adventures. The originals were printed from a dot matrix printer, then photocopies were made...

Basically, you don't want to reboot the Realms, you want to remove all of the damaging reboots. TSR and later Wizards kept coming up with stupid cataclysms to create in-game justifications for the changes in rules / classes etc that happened between D&D editions. 1st to 2nd Ed. If you've...

Anything that will give us more interesting non-combat mechanics that can be gracefully layered with ability checks would be good for D&D, I think. Not too many mini-games and subsystems, but general story-shaping tools.

I have read Shadow of the Demonlord, but not played it. Boons and Banes do sound fun, but I don't know if they are so much better than advantage that I would replace it with them. Nice that they stack a bit though. In Shadow of the Demonlord I love that you choose a path/class essentially...

Their massive scars, and the memory of the beating they just took.

I think it was actually your comment that pushed us over the top - good job!

Congratulations to WoTC for not choosing this hill to die on. I for one will gracefully accept their surrender, and simultaneously raise a toast to the crazy rebels who made this possible. We will not forget who stood by us in our hour of need.

Any LA folks want to picket the premiere if Wizards don't blink on revoking the OGL? Signs that say "Corporate Bullies: Hasbro unfair business practices". "Red Wizards of Hasbro: Hands off D&D" "Heros wouldn't break their word" etc...

You mean works that received their OGL content license from a party other than Wizards, or works whose creator is defunct / unable / unwilling to release them under a new license of any kind? That is an interesting point.

After among the most bungled attacks on an Open Source community in history, clearly someone at Wizards has pulled themselves together this past week and changed tactics. It just remains to be see if a betrayal with good PR will survive where a betrayal with terrible PR failed. Make no mistake...

It may be boilerplate, but it doesn't belong in a license that shares a name with an actually open license (the OGL 1.0a).

Dude that is awesome and pretty sweet! Now they just have to stop attacking the OGL 1.0a community that they promised to forever protect, and everyone can go celebrate together!

Hey, I don't want racists using D&D either, but let me tell you a story about what accepting "openess" means really. There once was a software lisence called the "No Evil" lisence. All it said was that you couldn't use the software for Evil. No problem right? Who could argue with that? Well...
