    Guns & Gears Remastered Review

    Not to be pedantic about it but they certainly can reprint them under the OGL, it was never rescinded and arguably it can't ever be. I understand why they made the move to extricate themselves from under the OGL and now that that's done it would be silly for them not to move everything over to...

    Guns & Gears Remastered Review

    That's a bit unfair. Those are Print on Demand copies of independent work unrelated to WotC beyond just being on the DM's Guild. POD is more expensive just by virtue of not being scalable to reduce prices.

    Guns & Gears Remastered Review

    I suppose the blow is softened by them releasing all the content for free in Archive of Nethys. But I've always felt Paizo can "get away" with some things just by virtue of not being WotC.

    OSR Does anybody know anything about this OSR adventure: Gods of the Forbidden North?

    Yes. As I said I wouldn't have an issue with it if not for the way they chose to present it. It would be "refreshing" for me if it was not blatant Catholicism with clear real world parallels. Like, maybe I'm presuposing too much but I'm sure the author is the kind who would have issues with...

    OSR Does anybody know anything about this OSR adventure: Gods of the Forbidden North?

    I read the whole chapter and they took the Law and Chaos gods to heart. There's a One True God of Law (based on the catholic capital "G" God that even manifests as a holy trinity). There's a sidebar that specifies that if you're a Lawful cleric you must be from the Hadean Temple. Then there...

    OSR Does anybody know anything about this OSR adventure: Gods of the Forbidden North?

    They raised a lot of red flags when I read the chapter on religion in Vol. 1 Dude basically remixed Catholicism with a fantasy twist and used the chapter to pontificate on how God is great, and how the chaos cultist (depraved degenerates full of witches that defiled the "sanctity" of their...

    D&D Adds Two New Books to 2025 Slate, Including New Eberron Book

    I know. Should've worded that as "a new development for the setting" instead of "in".

    D&D Adds Two New Books to 2025 Slate, Including New Eberron Book

    I don't understand how you're all getting "Dragonmarks" will be decoupled from species. The post talks about house membership not being tied to species. Which is not the same as the dragonmarks themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if this were a new development in the settting but what I'm...

    New Edition Of ALIEN RPG Includes Romulus Material--But Kickstarter Delayed To 2025

    That's a common misconception, your action is only cancelled when rolling 10 or more in the panic table. Those rolls force you to take a "Panic Action" instead of the action you rolled for. A 9 or less would allow you to succeed. Even if you roll a 9 on the panic table while shooting and...

    D&D General Classic Adventure Themed Dice Sets From Beadle & Grimm's

    I think I'll stay, thank you. And if you really didn't care you wouldn't have bothered. Stay mad, and wrong. Bye.

    D&D General Classic Adventure Themed Dice Sets From Beadle & Grimm's

    It's hard not to take the written word as anything but "literal". Then again, value and worth are subjective but the product description and price are not. Stating "it's just dice" is false, I don't see any other way to go about it. If they only want the dice and everything else holds no value...

    D&D General Classic Adventure Themed Dice Sets From Beadle & Grimm's

    My issue is claiming it's "just dice" when it's not. I agree that's very expensive. I wouldn't buy it either but whomever buys the sets I'm pretty sure it's not "just for the dice". You're misrepresenting the product.

    D&D General Classic Adventure Themed Dice Sets From Beadle & Grimm's

    I'm sorry but If you see my original comment it wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. They weren't the only one that had alluded at the price being just for the dice. In any case, English is not my first language so if there is a word to express that someone seems to be purposely describing...

    D&D General Classic Adventure Themed Dice Sets From Beadle & Grimm's

    I'm sorry? How can you watch a product that clearly it's not "just dice" and pretend the price point is just for "the dice"? They know better and you too. The focus is on the dice as product but what makes it collectible, special even, it's the whole package. You're paying for the production...

    D&D General Classic Adventure Themed Dice Sets From Beadle & Grimm's

    Claiming it's collectible makes it so. People will buy it for the purpose of collecting them. And my car analogy is exactly the same. The word "usable" in your answer is doing a ton of work right there. Aren't the dice usable? If you buy a car for the wheels, the wheels work as well, you just...
