    The Origin of the Fireball

    Since I know of no other place in the Middle-earth stories where bursts of fire are cast by a wizard, the origin of the D&D fireball must be this very passage: "He gathered the huge pinecones from the branches of his tree. Then he set one alight with bright blue fire, and threw it whizzing down...

    D&D General Monster ENCyclopedia: Barghest

    Though I understand your articles aren't about the "real world origins" of each monster, I prefer that you did include a sentence or paragraph about that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barghest http://rpg.crg4.com/originsA.html#barghest

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    Forgotten Realms self-publishing suggested back in 2014 Back in 2014, much of the ENWorld Community was hard-headedly incredulous that I would even suggest the idea that WotC open its setting IP for self-publishing.

    What's an OGL? An SRD? What's OGC? A Quick Primer!

    Unauthorized And Unlicensed But Sometimes Acceptable RPGs?

    Well said. So many of my fellow geeks have signed up to be the corporatist-pleasing version of the East German state-pleasing informer mentality. It's sad.

    Unauthorized And Unlicensed But Sometimes Acceptable RPGs?

    Christopher Helton, I appreciate your column, and am glad for your featuring these two Star Something RPGs made by aficionados. Yet I personally would prefer that the whole "obligatory" wringing of hands about the National Law be skipped, and just tell us about the books and their contents...

    Unauthorized And Unlicensed But Sometimes Acceptable RPGs?

    Well said Sword of Spirit. Your words live up to your handle. One of the greatest thinkers and social architects of the century voiced something similar way back in 1918: “...Privileges, patents and monopolies must be abolished in every branch of knowledge. Since, at the present time, we are...
