    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    It's so heartwarming to see Goodman Games stand by their deeply held progressive values of having their cake and eating it to. And in Pride Month no less! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    I mean it's fine. It's yet another spellcaster, for folks who want such things. More of Mind Mage than a psion. This doesn't hit the fantasy for me. Jean Grey doesn't need ruby dust to make a force cage, and I've never seen Emma Frost prepare her spells.

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    Live footage from Goodman Games HQ: I'm so glad they gave Bob II this spotlight. Can't wait for the youtube video on this one.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    But who are we all talking about? Bledsaw. Who will and must be brought up in conversations about CSIO? Bledsaw. Who is celebrating this revival as triggering the libs? People who think like Bledsaw. I guess Goodman Games just really, really wants to touch that poop. It's an "honor", they say...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Oh, I'm not going to. I do have a special interest in Judges Guild stuff, mostly because they were/are somewhat local to me, but my interest does not outweigh my repulsion. Internet Archive has me covered. And I'm certainly not telling anyone not to back this. If you are more interested in a...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    It's not that gone. A lot (if not all) old JG stuff is archived, easily accessible to anyone who really wants it. It's not in print, but your local library can help with that for just a few cents a page. It may not be statted for 5e or DCC, but in the spirit of the OSR just do that stuff...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Forgive me for not combing the many threads on this, but do we know WHY Goodman Games is doing this? Refunding the original backers is very nice of them, but why are they doing it? Are they obligated by something? Is this some kind of attempt to heal the brand in preparation for GG buying the...

    Project Sigil 90% Of D&D’s Project Sigil Team Laid Off

    There can only be one. Maybe the real Project Sigil was the gold dragon minis we pre-ordered along the way?

    D&D 5E 2024 Monster Manual has better lore than 2014 Monster Manual

    As someone who has little interest in stat blocks, I do find the brevity of the lore disappointing. The art is beautiful though.

    D&D (2024) What's In D&D's New Starter Set?

    Oh, I was being facetious 😅 However! The species and background cards with dedicated zones kind of remind me of what Daggerheart does with the Community and Ancestry cards (or least how it was in the playtest, I have not been following Daggerheart that closely).

    Cards on the character sheet? The doors Daggerheart opened.

    D&D (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    Yeah, I think I will see myself out too. I feel like disliking the new design is being taken as some kind of statement or position that I am not taking, and its starting to feel uncomfortable. But! I will say it's Alanis Morissette ironic to me that your profile pic is Lae'zel, because she is...

    D&D (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    For me, its the lack of elegance, sleekness, and danger. The old marilith gives the impression of wicked grace. She's cunning, cold, a peerless tactician. She's war incarnate, and she knows it. And she will make sure every other demon in the abyss knows it, too. 2024 marilith, on the other...

    D&D (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    Not for me, no. My taste in cheescake runs in a very different direction (ie dudes). But the lack of sexiness is curious to me. Because there doesn't appear to be any reason for it, or for any of the changes. She isn't sexy, but there are other sexy monsters in the book. If they didn't want to...

    D&D (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    I would assume the core monster book would show creatures in their factory default state, for branding purposes if nothing else. Anything after that is a variation on the theme, and I would expect the Monster Manual to BE the theme. As the foundational monster book for the edition, that's its...
