    Pro-GM Finder Site StartPlaying Raises $6.5M Funding

    I guess it might be relevant to share my experience doing this kind of work: I became a paid DM (I wouldn't call it professional personally unless it was my primary source of income, at the moment it just supplements my 5E writing income) in September 2020 after the Pandemic left me jobless and...

    RPG Evolution: The Half-Edition Shuffle

    I'd wager it matters a fair bit more nowadays: between paper, VTT, and D&D Beyond people can (and a lot do) own multiple copies of the same content. The heavier your investment, the more reluctant you'll be to just let that stuff sit unused. And that's not considering people that want to use...

    WotC WotC President Chris Cocks is Hasbro’s New CEO

    Congratulations to a hard working person being recognised! On the Spelljammer front, I think there's an over estimation of nostalgia in its recognition. I started with 5e, most of the people I know either start with 5e or with 3rd, yet everyone knows of and is at least partially interested in...

    D&D 5E Latest D&D Errata: Drow, Alignment, & More

    The pulling down of slave trader's statues is a current topic in the UK and mental illness isn't really any better here than it is in the US. That's besides the point though, because you're choosing to participate in international discussion.

    D&D 5E Latest D&D Errata: Drow, Alignment, & More

    I wasn't trying to be interesting or entertaining, I was replying to something I disagreed with on a public forum. I didn't think I could convince them differently, you rarely change a person's belief's in an internet argument. But his isn't a private conversation, this is something anyone...

    D&D 5E Latest D&D Errata: Drow, Alignment, & More

    Here's something: It shouldn't be normal You seem to think things like brothels and stripclubs exist in an explicit bubble that don't leak, that's not how things work. I'd sincerely love if I could retroactively remove being introduced to porn in highschool, and if I could remove the instances...

    D&D 5E Latest D&D Errata: Drow, Alignment, & More

    I'm new here and don't know how to split up posts like you did, so I've numbered your points to reply to them: 1) You clearly think that those things being normal and there being no stigma is the right thing. I don't want those things to be a normal part of society. And I don't want to have to...

    D&D 5E Latest D&D Errata: Drow, Alignment, & More

    On the off chance that you're genuinely not seeing the issue here: An entire ethnic group still faces widespread racism directly as a result of that slavery. Being sensitive to that is not a bad thing. If you were oppressed today because of how your ancestors were treated, you'd likely feel...

    D&D 5E Latest D&D Errata: Drow, Alignment, & More

    I'm not American and I couldn't give a hoot about one state in the entire US. And to be frank, this has nothing to do with 'but they can be nice places.' I don't want sexualisation to be part of the game, the change in art direction of 5th has gone a long way to help that, removal of stuff...

    Fizban's Treasury of Dragons Review Round-Up – What the Critics Say

    The art, the tools to flesh out the personality and uniqueness of dragons, the raft of theme-appropriate monsters (don't get me wrong, they're not all hits and the Mythic monsters could be better, but it's overall a pretty good showing IMO), and player options that fall within an acceptable...

    Fizban's Treasury of Dragons Review Round-Up – What the Critics Say

    Long time lurker on the site but thought it was worth chiming in on this: The book is actually just very good, that said I find most reviews surprisingly hollow and you'd probably be best served getting YT reactions than articles. That said, some disclosure: I run a small D&D YT channel and...
