This is really annoying. One reason I've given my products B/W interiors is because it was so much cheaper. I really enjoyed giving my customers good books at relatively cheap prices. One thing that puzzles me - if these price increases are tariff-related, why did B/W go up more than color...

For those who are curious, here is a summary of active copyright lawsuits against OpenAI. Ironically, I generated this using OpenAIs Deep research (which I currently have access to). Tremblay, Silverman, Summary: A group of authors (including novelist Paul Tremblay, author Mona Awad...

I hope not! But I agree we've had a bit of a golden run

I think the Greenwood articles saved this for me. And I also enjoyed the update from Gygax.

This is a hugely disruptive moment in the humanities. When I look at the eye-watering sums being invested by the biggest companies in the world, I find it hard to believe that AI is a nothingburger and we will all go back to normal in a few years. I will happily eat my words if proven wrong. I...

Dragon Publishing released Dragon #90 in October 1984. It is 100 pages long and has a cover price of $3.00. This issue features Norse mythology, the mysterious incantatrix, and lots of bats! The cover, by Jeff Busch, depicts a shipwrecked sailor menaced by a harpy. It's a dramatic scene...

@Steven Winter - further to our chat above, I was perusing Dragon 90 this morning and noticed this:

Fingers crossed..!

The cover is spectacular! During this period (late 70s), I'd say White Dwarf was hitting a home run with it's covers more often than Dragon magazine was.

Agreed... I can see both pros and cons with having someone purely from video game land. It's going to be pretty fascinating to see who they hire (assuming they announce it)

One of the requirements is "5+ years of professional experience in narrative design or worldbuilding". But experience with tabletop RPGs is only "nice to have". There are a lot of video game designers looking for work at the moment. We could see someone in that role who was former Sony...

I think it's a pretty useful class, sitting in the fighter/thief space. If you didn't have a thief in the party, having one of these as a henchman would be a good compromise. Like Mon, I immediately thought about creating a 5E subclass based on it.

Thank you - it's great to be able to see the insert! One thing that strikes me is that 80% of the monsters were written by either Ed Greenwood or Roger Moore. That's a surprise, given the editorial made much of the fact that these were "reader submitted" monsters.

The list of books that Lew Pulsipher reviewed was pretty interesting. I found a few of them on archive.org, and I'm tempted to try and pick up some old hard copies.

My grammar is modest, but I thought the article was the subject of that sentence. The article is a critique, but the writer of the article is a critic.

Dragon Publishing released Dragon #89 in September 1984. It is 112 pages long and has a cover price of $3.00. This issue features the Creature Catalog, special shields, and medieval war! The cover is called "Check" by Denis Beauvais and shows a brain-in-a-jar robot playing chess with living...

This is important to highlight, and I think a lot of creators are confused by this. Obviously, WOTC will act to stop gross violations of it's IP, but (I strongly suspect) they have no interest in the nuances of the DMs Guild agreement. That is a contract between you and Roll20, and it's up to...

A few of us asked about this in the early years (perhaps 2017). The OBS rep at the time said that they would not allow you to publish substantially similar products on both the DMs Guild and DTRPG. I can't recall the exact language, but the way he spoke suggested a very strict and narrow...

Kelsey Dionne is the best example of this strategy. She gave away the excellent "Secrets of Skyhorn Lighthouse" on the DMs Guild and used it to build a mailing list via in-document advertisements (something I desperately wish I'd done back in the day). It is hard to build an audience on the...
