I wonder if it is 90% of the entire global team, or 90% of the US team, or 90% of the in-house team.

my headcanon about the silt seas starts back with the Blue Age oceans, how those oceans were an entirely different sea water than our Earth ocean by being the producer of life-shaping bio-matter the Rhulisti used. The Brown Tide was a mass-kill of the bio-matter in the oceans. The pool in the...

BG3 I think does use the each missile causes a death save. I had a character taken out by a foe spellcaster and it blew my mind.

That’s an uncharitable bad faith misreading what I wrote.

It might add too much complexity, but it might be nice to have rankings for players who have deep system mastery, and rankings for players who wont. I can see that flexibility unlocks huge potential for those who mastered spells lists. But a lot of players will never and read these lists to get...

I would implement a very regular cadence of lore products, and have the lore products separate from the rules. The lore is the hook to get folks to buy the game and play it, but it does not need to be a loss leader. Riot puts out tons of music videos for League of Legends. Games Workshop has...

It could very well be a change towards an appreciation that your company can own lore, not rules. Games Workshop has well enjoyed this as a core of its business model. Just a crazy amount of novels produced over two settings, each of which could be said to be mashups of the sub settings. Lore...

I keep pointing out to my players that the game says veteran players should start at 3rd. But they feel like by not starting at 1st they will be missing out on possible play. Like picking between two books on a store shelf, the thicker book hints at more time in the book’s world. Skipping...

Not light and whimsical enough?

Ruins of Symbaroum. A lower magic 5e system for the Symbaroum setting.

Flee Mortals! for improvements to standard monsters Ruins of Symbaroum for a low magic 5e I always wanted.

With the sort of leaning into Far Realmsian themes to aberrations vs monstrosities, it would be cool if D&D took a page from Ruins of Symbaroum and added something like that setting’s Corruption that can forcibly change anything into abominations. If exposure to Far Realms is implied to bring...

My Greyhawk is so … personalized… that I’m so used to adapting something from all the things. Snarf is right that the older material is very unconcerned about worlds, much less a metaplot in Greyhawk to keep straight.

Maybe even PDFs aren’t an option today? https://paizo.com/store/books/dungeon/products/issues/ageOfWorms So ahem the files, or eBay the issues?

Technically Dungeon magazine, not Dragon ;) Though I think Dragon had some articles on other campaign-related stuff.

Excellent interview, glad it can be archived here!

Lore is crucial in setting books. To me I am seeing too much lore creeping into the core rules that is prescriptive in ways that make using monsters in my own setting that ends up giving players a zigzag feeling because they come in with knowledge what the core rules presents and when they...

I think cultural or national polearms would be a perfect sort of flavor for Greyhawk. Especially nice way to telegraph heritage for characters or NPCs.

It does seem a perfect example of an equivocation fallacy and motte-and-bailey argument.

I’m close to agreeing Greyhawk should have been skipped in place of guidance for building and running dungeons. You know, that other part of the game’s name and book’s name.
