    RPG Evolution: Owlbear and Gnoll Terrain

    Not to confuse things further but the tower itself isn't part of the product, it's just there for show. We're discussing those green blobs to either side of it.

    RPG Evolution: Owlbear and Gnoll Terrain

    I'm always a fan of terrain, and particularly terrain that doesn't require a lot of work. This are some rather expensive hills ... ranging between 40 and 80 bucks. Owlbear Terrain Set The Owlbear set, retailing for $80, boasts over 98 pieces covering a footprint of about 3.5 square feet. The...

    RPG Evolution: The New Miniature Era

    One point of note, and it's a challenge with marketing: I'm pretty sure the first two are 3D representations to show detail, and the last one is actual photos of what the plastic looks like. You can see how much a difference it makes (I agree, the third one looks like plastic clumps) but I don't...

    RPG Print News – Free League, Legendary Games, and More

    It's funny you say this, because as much as I love how the Q*Workshop stuff LOOKS, the dice are weirdly lightweight and my tactile memory expects dice to weigh a certain amount. It also leads to a lot of bouncing, which means that pretty dice takes a lot of abuse when it bounces off the table.

    RPG Print News – Free League, Legendary Games, and More

    I find it interesting how RPGs have their roots in historical wargames and the price tolerances now varies so much, with fantasy wargaming somewhere in the middle. I do think the wave (which is probably now over due to tariffs, etc.) of cheap prepainted plastic minis changed expectations...

    They're metal miniatures, so I suspect that's a huge part of it (and a bit of a shock, I know, compared to pre-painted plastic minis).

    RPG Evolution: The New Miniature Era

    The era of bulk unpainted miniatures, once dominated by companies like Reaper with their Bones line, is over. Smaller companies are now creating their own miniatures and while they may not have quite as much detail, they are certainly good enough -- and they can be a surprisingly reasonable deal...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    Absolutely welcome to disagree. You shouldn't replace my expertise with anything. My opinion is based on my experience in the business world--rude of you to imply I am an amateur, but I'm not going to engage in bona fides in this forum. My sorrow here is because this is bad; for everyone. I'm...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    As others have pointed out, volatility is the problem. Businesses aren't going to hold their breath to see where the tariffs net out; uncertainty = "prepare for the worst immediately" and because their timelines are months to years in advance, they are making those pivots now. Those actions...

    If your table is like mine, cup stains are a constant threat to character sheets when table space is limited. That's where the coasters from CZYY come into play. This set of twelve round wooden coasters features laser-engraved icons representing a diverse array of D&D species – from the...

    RPG Evolution: Skull Dice

    I love playing necromancers in Dungeons & Dragons (long unlive Gauskel Blackcloak!) so I'm always on the lookout for skull dice. Unfortunately, nearly every form of skull dice suffers from the same flaw, and that's legibility. These dice are no different. The gothic aesthetic is striking, and...
