    How to Delay or Avoid GM Burnout

    Within our group we rotate DMs, just for this reason, to avoid burnout and keep things fresh within the group. We've been doing that for 35+ years now. I've taken my own complete break (months) from D&D due to pressures outside of my gaming, I just didn't become a very nice person to game with...

    WotC Would you buy WotC products produced or enhanced with AI?

    Where is the 'maybe' option? It's either Yes, No, or probably No. This is called 'guiding' polls. For me it depends. It's not as if I can't make an adventure or a setting, but I still bought oodles of WotC D&D books. And some people claim, if it's done with AI, you can do it yourself! Nothing...

    Five Takeaways From the 2025 Monster Manual

    Apparently D&D is big enough to change everyone's perception... At least it changed your perception... But when did that change? In LotR the Orcs/Goblins (same thing there?) were essentially Golems, made from rock, heat and slime. D&D stole a lot from LotR, but not that creation method and also...

    Dragon Delves Reveals "History Of" Pages for Dragons

    I love me some illustrations, but why is the iconic Red Box Red Dragon by Larry Elmore missing here?

    Five Takeaways From the 2025 Monster Manual

    And at what level do we talk sentience? Int of what? A Dolphin, Gnoll (Warrior) and Ogre all have the same Intelligence in 5e... But there are also creatures in MM25 that have beyond human intelligence, apparently it's alright to kill those... I think that people need to let go of...

    Five Takeaways From the 2025 Monster Manual

    The first thing that sprung out at me with the new MM is that the mechanic text under the statblock is condensed and simplified with losing very little. Multiple types of physical attacks flattened down to one type of attack. Abilities that took 5 lines of text are now only two, by just using...

    Jeremy Crawford Also Leaving D&D Team Later This Month

    Possibly. His reputation got damaged. He got fired in the regular Christmas roundup. He had a couple of different projects that didn't go anywhere (as far as I could tell). He now works at Chaosium. He could of course have a TON of side gigs. But I like Vanilla! ;) Because doing that would...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    That's exactly why we post in this thread! ;) And you mean illustrator, right... Artists make art, illustrators illustrate, the later work for their money.

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    Even if you cover up the cleavage, she has exposed ear tips! The scandal! ;) If I was to walk in a big city in the Netherlands during summer, seeing people with cleavage like that isn't exactly rare...

    Mongoose Publishing Acquires Dark Conspiracy RPG

    I only remember the announcement that they joined the Rebellion, I apparently missed the one where they said they were leaving (in 2010), the Rebellion Wikipedia lists that they acquired Mongoose and Crucible 7, but not that they left (although not under the current active subsidiaries). Thanks...

    Mongoose Publishing Acquires Dark Conspiracy RPG

    Nice move for Mongoose! But Mongoose has been part of the Rebellion family (Cubicle 7 is in that same family) for around 17 years now, they're turning into an IP company, buying up IPs left and right. MGP has been doing well with the Traveller IP, looks like they are doing well these days as...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    GW manufactures most of the minis in the UK, occasionally some of the very big plastic kits (terrain) are made in China. Hasbro: Depends on which toys. The Magic cards were manufactured in Belgium, then they moved I think to Cardamundi in Texas. I also read that WotC is actually printing books...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Games Workshop (an expensive luxury goods miniatures company) would like to counter that their revenue only went up during economically difficult periods, during the Great Recession (2008) and the pandemic (2020) their revenue only went up. The same was true for Hasbro during those periods...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Oh, it could happen... But realize that many people outside of the US are already not happy with the... 'situation', having US companies increase the prices drastically so they can compensate their domestic issues isn't going to fly for many non-US people. That could totally destroy their...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    That's too low, it needs to be 54%... ;) Probably only in the US and Canada (due to their convoluted supply chain situation for games)... Why would prices rise in the rest of the world? As was indicated by SJ Games, no way are the American pnp RPG companies able to transition anytime soon to US...
