    Aging and Gaming

    Fortunately my players are all my age, too, so they also suffer from CRS (Can't Remember Sh*t).

    Aging and Gaming

    I'm 56. The thing I've noticed most is that my verbal word recall when I am GMing a game is getting harder. I'm trying to describe a thing, and I'm like "...uh, it's a...uh...you know, a...uh." I also start things, forget that I started them, think of a great idea, go to start it, then realize I...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    1,413 pages!?!?!?! Has anyone had their mind changed about...anything? I think I commented back on page 41 (such days we had back then, friends, such days!)

    Underdark Hex Crawl Generator

    Once I sat down and actually did it, I was astonished at what came into my imagination just based on random rolls. Like a mini-campaign came to life. It was really fun, and made me realize how infrequently I actually sit down and let my imagination flow. Now I want to do something similar for...

    Underdark Hex Crawl Generator

    In the OD&D Dungeon Master's Guide, there is a way to generate random hexes in order to create a regional map. I have owned that book since 1982 or something, and I never sat down and used those tables until a few weeks ago. It is a blast! Total creativity pump. Now I am wondering if anyone has...

    Wizards of the Coast Hiring New Lead Designer and Head of Game Ecosystem for D&D

    Must have experience ruining an IP, managing an on-going dumpster fire, and routinely angering fans. Background with Pinkertons a plus.

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    It's fun to see the classics reimagined and updated. I've been playing with the same morons friends for more than 40 years, and we have a blast when we revisit old adventures that we played as kids. Also, a lot of what's new isn't terribly appealing to me (and to others). So, I get it if this...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    GG is a good company and I am happy to buy their stuff because I like it. There does not seem to be ill-intent here, so I'm moving on. Peace, friends!

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    So don't buy it. Really. That's it. And if you think Goodman Games is in the wrong, don't buy their stuff anymore. They made a choice. So can you.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    I am watching a video about the designer's process and thinking as she made her game. It's super interesting. She's a nice human, or so it seems to me.

    D&D 5E (2024) OAR 10 City State of the Invincible Overlord

    Who/what problematic things/people did Troll Lords ignore, if you don't mind my asking? I just heard about the Goodman Games-Judges Guild issue today. (Also: not snark!)

    What Does the RPG Hobby Need Now?

    I think your grants to schools, @SlyFlourish, are a wonderful thing (and my school in particular benefited from your generosity!) We have 30-40 kids each week playing D&D. I'd love to teach them different games, too, but D&D is still the big dog in the market. I hope other publishers will do...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    This is the Yin-Yang of economic theory: what's better, higher wages or lower prices? Lower prices create greater demand, which increases employment. Higher wages gives greater buying power, which also increases demand...and increases employment. Unless higher wages cause lower employment due to...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    I don't blame you in the least. What's happening is terrible. If you are Canadian (I think you are?) please accept my apology on behalf of the Americans who want nothing to do with this insanity.

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    It is good for them, and good for those of us who play their game and buy their products. But I can tell you, since my wife has books being printed in China, that the IP theft there is endemic. It's not a bug: it's a feature. The less US business China gets, the better.
