    TSR The Dueling Essays of Arneson & Gygax

    The thing is about Gygax and Arneson, going from Playing At The World, is that Arneson, from the sounds of things, really didn't have reproducible, standard rules. He had a whole bunch of notes that he could make heads or tails of, and which Gygax was able to organize, edit, and polish while...

    WotC WotC will do what you say for 5 years. What are your instructions?

    Over the next 5 years, one adventure and one setting & rules book for 5 settings, opening each setting up on DM's Guild in the process. In no particular order. 1) Birthright (with the setting book having kingdom management rules) 2) Spelljammer (with a more expanded setting) 3) Dark Sun...

    D&D 5E My FLGS did not have the Essentials box set today

    I check my FLGS when I can... but my two closest FLGSs closed (Ancient Wonders and Legend of Gamers), and between going to the game store and getting my comics from my FLCS (a different store), those two stops can take what was an hour of driving and turn it into 3-4 hours, depending on which...

    Paizo Update: Cult of Cinders, Tomorrow Must Burn, Fate of the Fifth, and More!

    Has Paizo said if the Gamemastery guide will have guidelines for creating NPCs and advice on putting together stat blocks?

    D&D General D&D Funko pops - including Minsc and Boo

    Not a fan of the Funko Pop aesthetic - I more prefer the Nendoroid style as well (along with the fact that the figures let you customize their appearance - something you can't do with Funko Pops).

    D&D General A Dungeon That IS A Dragon?

    I have not had the opportunity to run this kind of dungeon yet, but there is something like this in one of the novels in the Martha Wells Books of the Raksura series.

    Pathfinder 2E Here's The Official Pathfinder 2E Character Sheet

    That one is nicer, but I would like more room to write down what feats do.

    Pathfinder 2E Here's The Official Pathfinder 2E Character Sheet

    So, having whipped up a handful of test characters to get the hang of how character generation works now - both with points and die rolling, probably my biggest complaints with that character sheet are with the Feats. Because you're getting so many more feats so often now, it's really important...

    D&D 5E Waterdeep Guild regulations broken. I need ideas!

    Defacing public art. Public indecency with public art. Public urination in a fountain.

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder Second Edition: I hear it's bad - Why Bad, How Bad?

    Yeah, the description here is reminding me a lot of how Hackmaster 4e handled armor - which was enough bookkeeping to turn a lot of prospective players off of the game when I was trying to find a group.

    D&D General Portrayal of D&D in Stranger Things 3 -some spoilers

    Yes - I am aware that Spaced Invaders was a movie. I am also aware that works of fiction make references of works of fiction all the time - even when the work of fiction being referenced is anachronistic to the universe of the work making a reference. And by saying "I'll allow that" I thought...

    D&D General Portrayal of D&D in Stranger Things 3 -some spoilers

    Considering Spaced Invaders (which was 1990, but still applicable) had some similar high-quality Cosplay level halloween costumes (the lead kid's Alien/Xenomorph costume) and that movie was one I watched way too much as a kid, I'll allow it.

    Eye of the Beholder: D&D Art Documentary Now Playing

    I backed this on Kickstarter at the "Get a Blu-Ray" level, and I'm glad I did, because this is an excellent documentary and a great companion to the Art and Arcana book. I definitely recommend people check it out - and I'm also glad it's out on VOD so I can point people towards that instead of...

    [Kickstarter] Arcana of the Ancients (Numenera for 5e)

    I'm a little disappointed by the fact that there isn't an option to get only the book in print + all the PDFs, because Arcana of the Ancients is the only one I want in print, but I am interested in the other PDFs.

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    I'm backing at the $10 level mainly because I'm not interested in the perks higher levels, but I do want a copy of this when it comes out.

    The New D&D Book Is Called "Ghosts of Saltmarsh" [UPDATED!]

    Wouldn't there be some rights issues related to Greyhawk that would prevent it from being opened up in the DMG for fan-made content? I know there are some bits of Greyhawk that are still held by the Gygax estate, so it sounds like if those bits were to be used in fan materials it could cause...

    Critical Role Critical Role Goes Independent From Thursday

    Yeah - I just wasn't sure if they were Geek & Sundry related or if they were related to the Saving Throw Twitch & YouTube channels.

    Critical Role Critical Role Goes Independent From Thursday

    Didn't they do a few other tabletop RPG streams? There's one for Vampire, there's the Modiphius Star Trek one (which I need to get caught up on as well), there's the Deborah Ann Woll D&D show coming up, and there was/is a wrestling RPG one too, I think?
