    Does Your Group Allow Homebrew or 3PP Material for D&D Games?

    For most of our games, the answer is a conditional depends. There is homebrew stuff that everyone agrees on, and that goes along with the no secret rules thing. Other than that, if the GM doesn't have that book or supplement, your odds of getting it approved are pretty close to zero. If...

    Jack Chick Passes Away

    So he's the creep that made those horrible things full of lies the jerks were putting in all the books back in the 80s. Well, if there really is a heaven and hell (I don't care which way you feel about that discussion), I wonder what he thinks of his sulfurous accommodations.

    8 Alien Races: Fan Content Entries

    I recognize the one used for the Gaelzh. It's the exact same one used by Pinnacle in the savage worlds sci-fi companion and the setting The Last Parsec. ;) Something odd happened when I tried to post the first time, so if there's a double post or something, I apologize for that. I had...

    What Did Medieval Items Really Cost? And How Much Did An Archer Make?

    Thanks for the comments :) I know the UK was still using the old system not that long ago. The point is it's a confusing system. What can I say, I like systems where there's one rule for each denomination change, like base 10 numbers. ;) By the way, if I didn't make it clear, the compilation...

    What Did Medieval Items Really Cost? And How Much Did An Archer Make?

    pricing It's interesting and useful if you want to gauge things on a realistic scale, something that doesn't always work for games. On the other hand, I really wish the prices had been converted to a single system that I understand by just looking at. Something decimal based instead of that...

    VILLAINS & VIGILANTES Legal Dispute Settled

    Well.... True. I tend to assume that trademarks are either part of the publication rights (or copyrights) or were already obtained before the product is shopped out for a publication, but as I don't actually know anything real on that side of the business, and we don't know the contracts...

    Look what Fantasy Grounds is cooking up!

    So is that d6 displaying a 5 on it's side bowing to you? Anyhow, this is great news! I actually have an FG account. Haven't used it though. Wonder how much they'll nail me for to get the WOIN rulesets. (Yes, I'm whining about money again. My gaming habit greatly preferred it when I had a great...

    WOIN Official Errata Thread

    Don't know how I didn't spot it earlier, but Future Careers, Page 1:17, the description of Androids included, "Androids make excellent scientists, engineers, and scientists.". So 2/3rds of those examples are both Scientist. I'm rather annoyed that all the times I've looked at it, I didn't spot...

    VILLAINS & VIGILANTES Legal Dispute Settled

    I don't think they lost They reached a settlement, not lost the case. It was probably a situation where Bizar would stop fighting if they'd slap his name on the product, and maybe have some kind of payment or royalty thing as well. Often settlements are chosen when it aids a market window, one...

    We're All Gamers Together: Why Harassment Has To Stop

    I like groups with all kinds of people in them. I like having females at the game as well, though if you're a gamer, I don't care if you're male, female, green, vulcan, or whatever, just so long as you play. When it comes to anyone raping in a game, that's just sick. Go take that stuff to your...

    What Do Treants, Gelatinous Cubes, Mimics, and Displacer Beasts Have In Common?

    I hate random packs for RPG minis. The set encounters in the adventure aren't random, and though the 'random encounters' are called random, they are actually an appropriate subset that fit the area and level. Random packs of minis aren't. True, those look nice, but if I can't get the ones I...

    When Dragons Play Dungeons

    There's a lot I could argue with in the assumptions by the authorities, but I'll just go with one simple thing. The DM or GM isn't leading anyone. As we gamers well know, the GM is the hardest job on the table. You can direct the group by giving hints, and controlling the location and it's...

    [TRAILseeker #54] Magical Laws

    A subject I've thought about a lot in the past. Mind if I babble for a bit on it? I'll try to keep it real short. First, I don't assume their culture thinks it's weird and specifically dangerous, unless it's new to the them. Otherwise it's just a normal part of life as it's probably been...

    Sage Advice 3/21/16 Exploding druids and antimagic field vs zombies and cure wounds

    Really?! Really? You haven't met a lot of the vegetarians and vegans around here! Sure there are ones that are still normal people, and that includes several friends of mine. Unfortunately there are way too many of the others. The pushy condescending whiners that look down on everyone that...

    Masterbook EZ Debuts On The Lighter Side of Gaming

    West End Games published several science fiction RPGs. These include Star Wars, Shatter Zone, Paranoia, Torg, and Men in Black. There may be others, but I'm not sure. Of these, Only Star Wars and Shatter Zone are regularly in space or on other planets, though that does occasionally happen with...

    Can Wizards Avoid Another OGL Glut?

    DMsG is not something I like. The idea is fine, but the content is something else entirely. I feel like I'm being nickel & dimed to death, and especially when it's stuff that just last year would be free because nobody in their right (or left) mind would even consider marketable. I'm sure there...

    There's A New Online Gaming Store In Town

    I try to buy what I can, but my lack of usable finances tends to leave me drooling at the shop window so to speak. I like the idea of another store, though I do have issues about having to deal with another store. I guess we'll see how it goes. Hadn't heard about that product which cause the...
