    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The New 2024 Player's Handbook Wizard Art

    I don't read comics, and only know Dr. Strange from the recent film. But surely, I must have gotten my impression from somewhere... Wotc: Kemonomimi anime girl doing the exact same thing: The "protection dome" is ubiquitous in a lot of the anime I have seen. Now if you wanna go on about...

    D&D General D&D's Utter Dominance Is Good or Bad Because...

    I wouldn’t even begrudge D&D still being the market leader. I just think It would be nice if we went back to having a solid number two rpg that was fairly popular within the hobby, and that also wasn’t a D&D clone… The cost of competition is high, and our economy has fundamentally changed in...

    D&D General Explain Bounded Accuracy to Me (As if I Was Five)

    FWIW: 'Bounded Accuracy' just means that D&D's task resolution mechanic obsensively works the same as most skill based RPG systems. For Example: CP2020 (1993) Task Difficulties: Easy 10+ Average 15+ Difficult 20+ Very Difficult 25+ Nearly Impossible 30+ 5e D&D (2014) Typical DCs: Very Easy...

    Stormlight rpg

    No one said it didn't make a splash. I readily admit it: You are objecting to assertions I have not made. There is a term for that.

    No one is saying that it is not making money...

    Stormlight rpg

    I agree. And I'll go even further... The Avatar RPG's only impact on the RPG' hobby is as a trivia question for getting a ridiculously well funded KickStarter. Not only will it be no different to find people to play it a few years from now as any other small press RPG. It's not even that big...

    Board Game Arkham Horror Getting an RPG from Edge Studio

    They look like normal d6’s in black and green. But knowing FFG, there is a specific game mechanic related reason why they have to be in two distinctly separate colors. Evidently even normal d6’s are not safe from the FFG RPG design team…

    D&D General D&D's Utter Dominance Is Good or Bad Because...

    Vampire did that. But then they screwed it up. I think that a large part of why no one does that now has to do with how the industry has changed. In the 90's People in the hobby were more likely to give non D&D system games a shot. And the perennial number two RPG was not a D&D clone. But...

    Tomb Raider Licensed RPG Announced by Evil Hat Publishing

    I'd bet hard money Crystal Dynamics and Asmodee/Edge are not in contact in any way, or ever have been. My understanding is that Embracer tends to be fairly hands-off in terms of management. While they are owned by the same parent company, they are still separate entities doing different things...

    Tomb Raider Licensed RPG Announced by Evil Hat Publishing

    Have you considered converting the Dresden Files over to a PbTA/BiTD RPG? (I fully recognize that it's all too easy to tell someone else what to do with their time and resources when you have no skin in the game...)

    Tomb Raider Licensed RPG Announced by Evil Hat Publishing

    Through a mutual acquaintance... The employee that wrote the first Tomb Raider RPG was a victim of the latest round of "corporate restructuring" at Crystal Dynamics that occurred a while back. Now it's still their IP, but it's just more politic all around to have Evil Hat do an all-new Tomb...

    Did the Ads Recently Change on this Site (New Pop Ups)

    I guess that's what they are hoping for. I used to go to the autosport F1 forums all the time to talk about racing. Now only once every few months, if that... Why? They added a persistent bottom banner ad that you had to click off with every new page. Just too annoying for words. And I...

    Did the Ads Recently Change on this Site (New Pop Ups)

    Pop-up is back. No change on the banner ad. Both on every page change. At this point I figure I'll ask directly: Are these ads intended to be permanent in some form? Or is this just an annoying kerfuffle with the ad network?

    Did the Ads Recently Change on this Site (New Pop Ups)

    The good news: The pop-up ad is gone. Huzzah! The bad: The banner ad on the bottom still comes up on every new page: Iphone, Chrome, and Bing. Is that intended to be permanent?

    Doesn't matter if I'm on my Iphone, or on my computer (Chrome and Bing). The pop-up and banner ad still come up on every new page.
