    Unauthorized And Unlicensed But Sometimes Acceptable RPGs?

    First and foremost, the use of someone else's IP without permission is basically wrong. Its stealing from someone else's work and livelihood. Fan creations that are posted as an homage, and not for profit should only be allowable within a narrow band of parameters. This is based purely on...

    Here's the SWORD COAST ADVENTURER'S GUIDE!

    Oh look, its here. Thanks for the the neat pic, Morrus; along with the release info. What? No free download of the whole book they're selling for money? Why, what was I thinking? I've had issues with the binding. On my PHB, I had to re-glue the first 50 pages. Sounds like I'm may not be...

    D&D 5E Shadowed Eye of Halagar Mega Adventure Now in Print

    Just ordered. I've read a couple good reviews of their other products. One of the reviews that mentioned this product said the way the wilderness encounters worked was like an outdoor dungeon, and had a nice design feel. Sounds interesting.

    Fantasy Flight Games Acquires LEGEND OF THE FIVE RINGS

    Times are changing. I hope the best for the IP. Its been engaging and fun to be part of. Props to Brodie for his insightful comments that many of us share. My only concern is the lag time till the new product emerges. Out of sight, out of mind with consumers. Roughly two years is quit a...

    [UPDATED] Out of the Abyss Reviews Have Started Rolling In

    OotA is more than a little good, close to great. A best effort so far? Yes, and it presents an amazing world that the DM can expand on. It would have been better as a box set. I agree that there are some slight organizational issues, and all of their offerings have required DM...

    [UPDATED AGAIN!] SOUTHLANDS HEROES - New Character Options for D&D From The Folks Who Made TYRANNY O

    @ Jester: Just read your review. Nice. It really gave me an good idea of what the product was and wasn't. For me, sounds like more "wasn't" than I wanted. Thanks.

    New WotC Layoffs?

    MerricB is correct. Without getting into details, this has to do with corporate vision, and restructuring, not some ominous corporate design to warp D&D or Magic. We should give Mark, and his associates our best wishes in these coming days.

    WotC's Chris Perkins on Shane Plays Radio

    If you look at the employment terms of most WotC employees, only a small percentage have enjoyed what many would consider long term employment. The rise of the freelancer employment model has made this the prudent decision for many game publishers.

    Pre-order The CYPHER SYSTEM Core Rulebook

    My friends that like role-playing loved it. My friend that like roll-playing hated it. In our groups it seems to have appealed least to the Warhammer/Shadowrun gamers who like complex rule sets, and tons of dice rolling each turn. Not surprising since there mostly one dice to roll in the...

    Sean's Picks of the Week (0330-0403) - Night Witches, OGL, Eclipse Phase and More!

    After reading the blurb for Katanas and Trenchcoats, I got the basic version off Drive Thru RPG for $5. It's a condensed version, much like the Fate Accelerated book, but only with 26 pages. The premium pdf runs $10. I wish I'd gotten the premium because the basic is very bare bones. They...

    Monte Cook Games, Thunder Plains, & A Petition

    While I can understand an ethnic group's feelings toward misrepresentation, I can not understand unrelenting venom that fails to establish a discourse on resolving the issue. Its nothing more than bullying. Kudos to Monte and his crew for going the extra bit to try and resolve the issue, and...

    What Does A Developer Do?

    I agree. In many ways design, while demanding, is often the most fun part of making a game. Developing, while enriching, is work, and a developer has to juggle many parts. Many players are designers at heart, and dream of developing their own game one day. I was the same. But, I learned the...
