    Ars Magica 4th Edition Revival!

    Hey Rob. Any reason you don't want to jump ship to the 5th edition, other than you've already got the 4th edition books? Most of our fans did, since 5th edition was deliberately intended as a fix for the problems fans had with 4th. We sell all of the PDFs and still stock a great many of the 5th...

    D&D 1E Ye Olde Ranger of Editions Past (1E-4E)

    There is no such dual wielding benefit or class ability in 1st edition AD&D. The DMG describes using a dagger or other small weapon in the off-hand, but this is generic and applies to anyone. Rangers don't get a special benefit, not until 2nd edition. Cheers, Cam

    [UPDATED!] The Unsung (Female) Half of the D&D Team!

    Let's talk about a better product. Is the product more inviting, appealing, attractive, inclusive of, and supportive of a demographic that includes more than just white men of a certain income bracket? Chances are, if those creating it aren't working hard to ensure that, it won't. Chances...

    [UPDATED!] The Unsung (Female) Half of the D&D Team!

    I'm actually a Social Justice Hexblade. I'm reposting here what I tweeted this morning after last night's back-and-forth on Twitter regarding this: My position on this is as follows. First, I apologize for contributing to any marginalization of women who work hard to produce D&D books. Second...

    D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide

    5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide This book is packed with terrific things, so much so that it appears a lot had to be cut just to make it possible to release the thing. It's an essential part of the D&D5E triad, as expected.

    D&D General Monster ENCyclopedia: Aarakocra

    When I wrote DRAGONS OF WINTER for Sovereign Press' 3.5 Dragonlance line, I replaced the aarakocra in Southern Ergoth with kyrie, but paid homage to the original monster by having them belong to the Aara-Kocra clan of kyrie. We didn't really have any aarakocra stats at the time, and since we'd...

    N.E.W. RPG (was: Sequential Career Based RPG)

    This also greatly resembles Burning Wheel, as well. Cheers, Cam

    D&D 5E Old settings coming back?

    Three. The DLCS version, which nobody really liked; the War of the Lance version, which was designed specifically for that time period when there weren't many active divine characters and the Orders were at their lowest; and the Knightly Orders of Ansalon version, which embraced the new rules...

    Biggest Franchises Without an RPG

    "Not making enough money" is only part of the equation. The rest is "to afford the license." It would be a terrible shame to say that the reason Marvel Heroic Roleplaying was cancelled is because the game wasn't any good or didn't sell well. Cheers, Cam

    yeah (Marvel Heroes going away)

    Fantastic! I hope he has a great time playing it. Many people do. I played TSR's edition through high school and college, but not any longer. Cheers, Cam

    yeah (Marvel Heroes going away)

    Umbran, MHR has the same three methods of getting a character as MSH does: Pregen, Modeling, and Random. This was intentional. Remember how in MSH you could just say "I'm giving my guy Incredible (40) Strength?" And didn't need points? Same here. Cheers, Cam

    Yes. Yes. Yes. And the last one follows from the second one. Cheers, Cam

    [MHR] Marvel RPG Discontinued, PDF sales ending next week

    We had to do the game the way we did it. That's pretty much the long and the short of it. Given some mighty constraints, I think we did an admirable job. The game won three Ennie Awards last year and despite the fact that it doesn't have "real" character generation rules (even though it has the...

    It is official: Margaret Weis gets Firefly license!

    Firefly RPG will draw from the classic game & bring things up to date. No details yet, but it's been eight years, so there's a lot we can do to make this a must-have for old and new fans. Cheers, Cam
