    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    While we're at it, I find the term "class" offensive. It implies a difference between people based on occupation. It's doubly offensive to place these classes at "levels" that can be quantified at higher or lower ranks than their fellows. I looks forward to class, level, and race being abolished...

    Pathfinder 2's Critical Hits & Failures! Plus Save-or-Suck and Damage On A Miss!

    Yeah, I was cautiously hopeful that PF2 would do something about those loooong combats, but between this and a previous article talking about adding more AoO situations I don't see it happening. I'm kind of curious how open to changes this play test will be. Is there an amount of feedback...

    Pathfinder 2E's New Death & Dying Rules; More on Resonance

    Some clever entrepreneur is going to make a fortune on an app to track resonance points and dying levels

    Pathfinder 2: Crits, Skills, Scaling, & Proficiencies!

    Like: the new stuff with shields seem to add a nice new dimension to martial characters. Dislike: "Flanking" seems to imply mandatory miniature use, which I thought PF2 was supposed to move away from. "Resistance 5" - the simple halving and doubling of 5e's resistance and vulnerability is a lot...

    The Pathfinder 2 Barometer! Vote your initial hot take!

    I'll certainly take a look. Especially to see if they correct any of the high-level play issues that seem to plague d20 derivatives. And backing off the extreme level of bloat PF had accumulated can only be a good thing for attracting new players. As someone who's been running Paizo adventures...

    D&D Beyond Launches -- Electronic Tools For D&D Are Here!

    Is the "export character sheet" feature broken or am I doing it wrong? All I get is a PDF of a blank character sheet.

    D&D's Lead Slightly Increases On Roll20 & World of Darkness On The Rise

    Interesting that 1-2% a quarter of 5e's growth appears to be coming directly from the Pathfinder piece of the pie. They seemed like a pretty diehard bunch, I wonder what the makes the difference?

    Explore Philadelphia's Drinks And Dragons

    Nice! I'd love to see this in Buffalo. It'd be a good fit with the huge craft brewery scene here.

    Starfinder Here's the cover of INCIDENT AT ABSALOM STATION, the first adventure in Starfinder's DEAD SUNS AP!

    This would have been a good opportunity to change up the old "stick a big npc portrait in front of the art" design their ap's all feature.

    (KS) The Halls of Runehammer – A Classic Dungeon Crawl for 5E

    "$1500 - A POD (A Print on Demand) Version of Main Book - Expected Delivery December 2017. Backers would receive a complimentary copy but would have to pay the actual cost and shipping through drivethrurpg.com ." Trying to wrap my head around this...

    What Are These Four Unnamed D&D Products?

    I'd love a printed "Best of Unearthed Arcana" book, like when they used to "Best of The Dragon" years back. It'd be a good way of getting the most well-received stuff to tables while still keeping it heavily "optional", at least compared to something like a "PHB2".

    Check Out The First 3 Pages Of TALES FROM THE YAWNING PORTAL

    I'm a happy grognard. All that description of the Yawning Portal makes me wish they were including a couple of levels of Undermountain though!

    Swords & Wizardry Is Back With New Art And New Energy

    This really just reminds me how badly I want a full-color, all Mullen art version of S&W. His covers for the original S&W and Whitebox are some of the coolest, most evocative old school art I've seen.

    What Will Become of the FLGS?

    I still have fond memories of my first, late-70's FLGS - the local hardware store! They had a great selection of minis and all the original Judges Guild stuff. If I had a time machine that would be one of my first stops, if only to ask the owner how exactly that happened. I also got my first...

    The Scarred Lands kickstarter mentions that they are waiting for an announcement from WotC to release a free 5E module. What do they know???

    D&D 5E Wilderness adventures

    I use a clear ruler or even an index card with the map scale drawn on it to track map movement on the Golarion maps for my RotRL 5E conversion. I have the giant poster maps, as well as the RotRL map pack, both of which have been great game aids. Though really, I'd prefer hex maps, and would...
