    D&D 5E Unearthed Arcana: 16 New Feats

    Chef to me is basically allowing you to take Song of Rest from the Bard + a weak version of Inspiring Leader. I like that it exists. Overall, I think this UA has a lot of fun in it but I don't think I like the "weapon damage type" feats. I feel like something like this has a place in the game...

    Pathfinder 2E Here's What's Coming For Pathfinder Over The Coming Year

    I really hope that says "play a wizard if you WAND to"

    Here's What's Available For Free RPG Day

    I imagine that most stores won't have games but some amount more than that may have the items to give out.

    Crowdfunding News – M20 Technocracy Reloaded, D&D Online Summer Camp!, and more

    Skull Diggers is exactly my kind of weird and quirky. Doesn't hurt that I already like some of the author's other work.

    Unearthed Arcana Revived, Noble Genie and Archivist Revisited in UA

    The Phantom's flavor is incredible, this is much more interesting than the previous subclass idea. However, I want the flavor of Tokens of the Damned (which is the most interesting part of the subclass) at level 3. I want everything to be tied to that concept because it is rad as heck. It oozes...

    D&D General Your favorite things about editions that aren't your favorite.

    I didn't really play anything before 4th so my list is uh, short. 4E monster stat blocks (especially after MM3) and formatting in general for class options was so clear and straightforward. Unfortunately, I think some of that formatting added to the biggest criticisms of the game, that people...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Revisits Psionics

    I honestly find these kind of boring, and I guess that could be a good thing? Seems fairly good on the balance side.

    Unearthed Arcana Spells & Magic Tattoos: New Unearthed Arcana

    But it can still be seen if the PCs can see into dim light or darkness. Making it a bonus action means it could strength drain, move away into darkness, and then hide. But if it was just dim light? Even humans can see in dim light, though their perception is at disadvantage. I suppose I never...

    Unearthed Arcana Spells & Magic Tattoos: New Unearthed Arcana

    Thanks! Seems I completely missed the section at the start of the tattoos were it explained this. That actually takes care of most of my complaints around attunement with these tattoos.

    Unearthed Arcana Spells & Magic Tattoos: New Unearthed Arcana

    My opinion is if the tattoos didn't stack, a magic item giving AC 18 wouldn't be that worrisome. It might make sense for it be 17 instead, regardless of the tattoo stacking, but I wouldn't want to reduce it 16 because then I'd feel like the rare version should be 14+max 2, and I wouldn't want to...

    Unearthed Arcana Spells & Magic Tattoos: New Unearthed Arcana

    I'm late to the party. Acid Stream is meh. Otherworldly Form is awesome for everyone who gets it, though certainly some classes get more out of it than others. I wonder if the spell level is right, though. Concentration certainly makes it a little limited. Spirit Shroud I'm unsure about; I...

    D&D 5E Let's Talk About Chapter 9 of the DMG

    I think gritty realism takes it too long. Instead of just changing how long short and long rests are, they should change what is recovered with each. If the idea is that you can't get everything back, then you could have more tiers of resting. Short rest - 1 hour - get back some "short rest"...

    FFG Star Wars & Other Roleplaying Games Aren't Going Away After All

    I don't think the Star Wars license will leave Asmodee as long as they can hold it. It's a license that can make money if the right product is put behind it. While XWTMG2 isn't performing the same as XWTMG1 did (where it once was beating WH40K) it was still in the top 5 non-collectible mini...

    D&D 5E What Spells Would You De-Nerf? (and how would you change them...)

    I'd consider taking concentration off of Shield of Faith. I'd change magic missile somewhat. I'm not sure the exact nature of the change but I've never liked that it only gets one dart per spell level. This probably isn't a good idea but yet its in my head. Maybe having the additional darts per...

    FFG Star Wars & Other Roleplaying Games Aren't Going Away After All

    As long as Disney keeps making new Star Wars content, there's more room to make supplements for. All the High Republic stuff coming this year, more TV series, eventual movies in a few years (there's still one on their slate for 2022 or 2023). We might not get anything for awhile but I could see...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    We haven't cancelled any of our games yet, but we do mostly play in each other's homes. That of course doesn't rule out having picked it up at work or elsewhere. No one I play with would force playing while knowing they are sick, at least. But as I understand it, you can be infected and...

    The One Ring/Adventures in Middle-earth License Goes to Free League

    I wonder if the fact that both ME and TFTL have an upcoming Amazon show factored into this at all, or if that was just circumstantial.

    D&D 5E Magic Items Found vs Wants

    The fiction should support whether a magic item is available or found. I've played in games where the exact magic item you want or something very similar is available at request. Those can be fun, but the existence of those items sometimes feels contrary to the world's fiction and I hate when...

    The Labyrinth RPG Is Out!

    This is an interesting book, I've had it in my hands for about a week already. My wife is obsessed with Labyrinth, and we're both fans of anything even tangentially connected to Henson, so it was a must-get. The oubliette for the dice is a nice touch to be able to provide dice with the book for...
