    Looking for Advanced Role-Playing Content

    I get that. I mean, I find Matt Colville to be a bit wishy-washy and non-committal for my tastes, but I can get through enough of his videos to find the main idea. But if presentation and style are that important to you as an audience, then you can't really contribute to the conversation. No...

    Looking for Advanced Role-Playing Content

    :( ? I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand the confusion. A blogger claims he is creating role-playing content that doesn't exist elsewhere. I like his work and I'm looking for more ~ not necessarily the same, but something that can provide insight, that helps me to advance my game. For...

    What is *worldbuilding* for?

    So there's a lot going on in this thread and I'm working my way through it because... we'll, it's interesting and I'm nosy... but I'm wondering if anyone can clear something up for me: Is the OP advocating a form of gaming where players are able to force a specific reality on the game by simply...

    What is *worldbuilding* for?

    This may have already been addressed ~ there being 2,048 posts in the past three months ~ and if it has, my apologies for adding to the noise. My take is a bit different. The contemporary take on the game is... well, I don't want to say 'misguided,' but I'm struggling to find a less...

    D&D 5E Map of the Great Wheel Cosmology

    This is bloody fantastic. Am I the only one who looks at this and thinks, "I can totally use this to estimate the number of souls that have lived and died?" I sense another wasted weekend coming up...
