    D&D 3E/3.5 Jonathan Tweet: Streamlining Third Edition

    I think 3E was a very good version of the game. The evolution made sense and it gave players all or most of the home rules they were using anyway. More than that, I think it made D&D more accessible to a new generation of players. And most important, 3E/3.5E kept their core D&D-ness. That may be...

    Worlds of Design: "Your Character Wouldn't Do That"

    I only break that particular phrase out when a player is quite obviously meta-gaming to the detriment of the game or of another player. One of my player's was notorious for sticking their nose into other character's personal quests and stories. So, stuff like that which has zero in game origin...

    TSR Jim Ward: SSI, Dungeons & Dragons and the Computer Industry

    These games hit at the right time for me. I was just graduating high school and always hungry for games for my Apple IIc. I enjoyed them all, but my favorite of the Gold Box was Gateway to the Savage Frontier. I also enjoyed War of the Lance, while technically not a "gold box", it was a fun war...

    Jonathan Tweet: Legacy of Ars Magica

    Ars Magica has been a large influence on game design since its inception. That folks do not realize that is a shame.

    Face Unending Horror to Prove Your Mettle: Experience Never Going Home

    World War One is one of those untapped resources in rpgs that lends itself to this kind of game. Sounds like an interesting way to spend an afternoon.

    RPG Evolution: When Gaming Bleeds

    I am of the opinion that is a stage where the hobby and how we play changes. Eventually the X-Card and other examples may fade or change. At the moment, as a means of communicating between those who play instinctively and implicitly and those who need more explicit communication, these tools and...

    RPG Evolution: When Gaming Bleeds

    Great stuff to think about. Consent is a complicated issue, no matter how easy it may seem to just talk about something. And there is a big difference between people who have played together for a while or at least have been aware of one another's style for a while and those who are new to the...

    D&D 5E Journeying to Hell & Back Again: A Review

    There are many avenues to get oneself into role-playing games, but one such avenue that is making a come-back is the Solo adventure. Kienna Shaw & Donathin Frye have delivered a splendid example of a solo adventure that is still flexible enough for traditional play should you want it. Interested...

    Have you been missing a level 1-20 epic adventure in your 5E gaming? Well James Introcaso and Johnn Four deliver an experience that is well beyond the typical in The Demonplague. SPOILER SPACE: There may be the tiniest of spoilers ahead (or perhaps not) as it can be hard to talk about an...
