    "Goblin mode" is the Oxford Dictionary word of the year

    The term normalizes racist attitudes vs. goblins, who are as worthy of respect and appreciation as any other species.

    Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2023 [NOMINATIONS OVER]

    I'll also cast my vote for Pendragon 6E by Chaosium. Truly can't think of any other standalone RPGs scheduled for release next year that I am interested in purchasing. EDIT: Bugbear70 reminded me (below) about Old Gods of Appalachia by Monte Cook Games. Definitely interested in that one, but...

    State of the Mongoose 2022

    @kronovan Fellow Canuck here. Maybe you should try ordering from www.401games.ca in Toronto? In my experience, their prices are even better than those of American retailers. Not sure if Mongoose participates in the Bricks'N'Mortar program like Chaosium and Free League Publishing do... but 401...

    Dragonlance WotC Officially Confirms Takhisis and Tiamat Are The Same

    This is the original Tiamat: Tiamat - Wikipedia EDIT: According to Wikipedia: "The depiction of Tiamat as a multi-headed dragon was popularized in the 1970s as a fixture of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game inspired by earlier sources associating Tiamat with later mythological characters...

    Board games and RPGs as a source of comfort and community during times of conflict

    Thought this article on the popularity of board games, RPGs, and board game cafes among young people in Iran would be of interest, given the current socio-political unrest there... https://www.cbc.ca/radio/day6/iran-board-games-solace-inspiration-during-conflict-1.6631776

    Worlds of Design: Spelljammer 2.0

    This review makes me happy I didn't purchase Spelljammer 5E. And I hate "save the world/universe/multiverse" adventures. Overdone and unoriginal, and as banal as "prevent an ancient evil from waking/arising"... which often is the precursor to save the world/universe/multiverse adventures. I'm...

    D&D General Modules with a political message?

    Don't own it, and have never read or played it, but this might be one of the most overtly political RPGs I've come across... SIGMATA: This Signal Kills Fascists - Land of NOP LLC | DriveThruRPG.com

    WotC Ray Winninger Steps Back From WotC

    Makes me wonder... did Radiant Citadel, Spelljammer, and Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse not sell as well as expected? I, for one, haven't purchased either of those. Not saying I never will, but they certainly aren't high priority for me.

    D&D 5E Advent's Amazing Advice: The Lost Mine of Phandelver, A module fully prepped and ready to go! Part 2b Redbrand Hideout

    You're most welcome. And I'm happy you didn't take it the wrong way (I worried that I was coming across as pedantic and unappreciative of your work and almost deleted the post). Everything else you wrote in that blurb was spot on, and I think you're making a great contribution to the community.

    a snapshot of the industry

    I've bought an increasing number of non-D&D RPGs over the last 3-4 years, and that's mostly thanks to coverage on this site. I may not comment often, but I would find EN World less interesting if all it was, was D&D only and all the time.

    D&D 5E Where are the heirs to the 32 page adventure format?

    Does the Goodman Games Fifth Edition Fantasy line not fit the bill?

    D&D General Tell me about Birthright

    I'd be happier if WotC didn't try to tie Aebrynis into the D&D/Spelljammer/Planar cosmology. Let it be its own thing.

    D&D General Tell me about Birthright

    I started reading the Ruins of Symbaroum 5E GM's Guide (Free League Publishing) last night, and found that it contained domain management rules, as well as narrative-oriented rules for PC participation in wars and battles. The domain management rules as written aren't intended for managing...

    If anyone here becomes inspired to run a Birthright PbP (any edition)... I'll happily sign on as a player!

    D&D (2024) RIP, 2014 PHB backgrounds

    Same should go for language options, especially since many campaigns (whether homebrewed or published) include languages not mentioned in the PHB. Both standard and rare language options in the PHB should include a bullet along the lines of "other language appropriate to the campaign (consult...

    D&D General When Was Your Last D&D Gaming Session?

    I voted 2-3 months ago (it was the first week of July). Had a session scheduled a few weeks ago, but it got cancelled due to limited availability of players. Next one is set for September 15, and hopefully we can maintain a roughly bi-weekly schedule going forward.
