    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Ranger"

    Yeah, HM and PWT would have been a good pairing. I say keep it to WIS, just because this IS a spellcasting feat. I'm personally not one for multiclassing. Plus, the Advantage on Survival checks stacks with the Survivalist feature's double prof. bonus on Survival and Nature checks. I was...

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Ranger"

    Still a shame the Tracker feat (+1 WIS. Gain Hunter's Mark, can cast 1/LR without slot, can also cast with slots, cast with WIS. Gain Advantage on WIS (Survival) checks to Track) never made it out of UA. Scout + Outlander + Tracker = Good Enough Ranger for Most Players. I can see why they...

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Ranger"

    Hell, we HAD that with the Scout Rogue. A lot of folks preferred it to the 2014 Ranger, If I'm remembering correctly.

    D&D (2024) All 48 Player’s Handbook 2024 Subclasses

    Honestly, I'm just hoping Martial Arts and Unarmored Defense got a boost. I want to my "unequipped" Monk to be able keep pace with the other martials, damage/defense-wise. Also, I agree on the spellcasting oversaturation. It really shouldn't be the default.

    Pathfinder 2E "Everything I've Said So Far About the God Who Will Die" - Creative Director Luis Loza on Setting Shake-Ups Coming to PF2E in "War of Immortals".

    It just left a blank space when I tried to use it. Whatever, like I said, Paizo put it at the top of their press release for the book.

    Pathfinder 2E "Everything I've Said So Far About the God Who Will Die" - Creative Director Luis Loza on Setting Shake-Ups Coming to PF2E in "War of Immortals".

    For completeness's sake: I shall reveal which major deity bites it. While Paizo is not being shy about this, I will still spoiler it. Edit: Nevermind. Spoilers seem to be broken. Gorum, God of Battle and War. Ironic, given that his death is what sparks this war in heaven called the "Godsrain"...

    Freebies, Sales, and Charity Bundles for May 19, 2024

    Bit late on the CyberPunk/VA-11 HALL-A mention, that was Red's April Fools supplement and a fairly good one. I love how they tried to blend Glitch City into The Time of the Red: GC is a contested neighborhood in NC, the Lilim robots are now full-borgs, the White Knights were a splinter off of...

    D&D (2024) The D&D Cartoon Heroes In The 2024 PHB

    Wow, that got a bit dark. Why did she end up as unicorn fodder?

    D&D 5E protection from elements?

    A few months even later. But, just to add, since anything resistant to Fire/Cold is immune to extreme heat/cold, anything that is naturally resistant is also immune. So, Fire Genasi are fine in heat, Dragonborn are fine in heat/cold depending on color, and Tieflings with Infernal Constitution...

    "Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy" Kickstarter Ending Soon.

    Going to give this a bump. Forty-Eight-Hours left and... I'll be real... While I am very interested in the actual game, I'm EVEN MORE interested in the art, since they got a couple Twitter artists I follow working on this one. More cash equals more art. Really wish I had the cash to blow, right...

    "Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy" Kickstarter Ending Soon.

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/anim/eureka-investigative-urban-fantasy I can't back it, so I'm going to boost it. This is a very intriguing game with a HEAVY emphasis on player-driven investigation and deadly combat. What I have read of the preview (and there is a LOT, the KS seems to...

    D&D General LEGO D&D minifigures -- pics of all 12

    Confirmation of SOME kind of cross-promo. I love that LEGO is apparently Toy Company Switzerland, because even the other toy companies are licensing out to them.

    Shin Megami Tensei RPG Getting English Language Edition

    Nice. There was a leak about this a while ago (Amazon jumping the gun, as always). I've heard vaguely about this game for YEARS, so seeing it in English is exciting.

    Arkham Horror TTRPG announced

    Cool. The Arkham Horror Files continuum has been an off-and-on hyperfixation of mine since back when they were still actively supporting AH 2E. Was always too broke to BUY any of it past Elder Sign: Omens (the digital version of the "streamlined" dice game spin-off) and, recently, the long line...

    Tomb Raider Licensed RPG Announced by Evil Hat Publishing

    That would be like using Mothership as the base for an official Aliens game. The license would be just so they can re-etch the serial numbers BACK ON. So, the logical and efficient choice, bare minimum. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing what EH does with TR. If anyone can do pulp...

    D&D General The D&D RTS That Fumbles its Setting | Dragonshard - [William SRD]

    A review of the one, single-player, video game Eberron has ever gotten. If you like this one, William has covered quite a large swath of the D&D video game catalog, plus some World of Darkness and Warhammer. His videos on Ravenloft's two first-person RPGs, Strahd's Possession and Stone...

    Evil Genius Games and Netflix Settle 'Rebel Moon' TTRPG Lawsuit

    I will say that "Rebel Moon: The Popcorn" was decent. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Popcorn-Indiana-Cheddar-Cheese-Rebel-Moon-Popcorn-6-5-Ounces-Bag/2392144656
