So I hear there was a brawl after the Ohio State vs. Michigan football game earleir today. Michigan won the game, then ran out and tried to plant their school’s flag at the 50 yard line. Which wouldn’t have been a problem, except they were the visiting team, so they were planting their flag...

Re: "How much is Hasbro?" Nope. Still not going to care. A tweet about something doesn't make it real. If rich dude wants to rich dude, he can put his money where his mouth is. Until then, he's all empty swagger. I can get that from any random wannabe influencer with zero followers.

Just another progress report for now. I've spent much of the past week doing page layout work. I developed a rough plan for the placement of illustrations, maps, and tables before starting any other tasks on this project, but until recently, I didn’t know the final sizes of those page elements...

Hell is where every game uses the d4 System. Nothing but fistfuls of d4s any time you want to do anything. And so many d4s have fallen off the table and onto the floor, you have no choice but to stand on them. Barefoot.

I generally avoid going into threads just to tell people I don't care about the topic they're discussing. I do think it's worthwhile to remind the community that we don't have to engage with incendiary comments celebrities make about our hobby, but I'm not going to advocate that in a thread...

I'll do what I can to oppose harmful actions and policies. But I'm not going to waste any more time listening to rich dudes justifying or reveling in their own destructive behavior.

It depends. Is Wendy Doe's dog Internet famous?

It's nice to know you care about my post.

This post isn't a jab at folks who are discussing the news item alluded to in the thread title. I just wanted to comment on the story without posting in a thread that inadvertently publicizes the rich dude in question. If you're not familiar with the news item I'm referencing, it's essentially...

Trails and Tribulations The Forgotten Realms trail guide I’m writing includes overviews of hundreds of locations in Faerun, Kara-Tur, and Zakhara. Prior to the release of the 2024 edition of the Dungeon Master’s Guide, I wasn’t sure how much detail I wanted to include when describing these...

Sounds like a reasonable guess. I would add Bryn Shander as the hub for Iceland Dale.

Plot twist: Strahd is the OSR DM of Barovia, and he's about to go full grognard on "the kids these days."

Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't seen the original Friday the 13th.

Same thing happened to me. I used to see most of the rules, but now they're gone. And here I thought I was finally going to get some use out of D&D Beyond. Oh well, back to pen and paper it is. I guess they didn't really want my eyeballs after all.

I can appreciate what you're saying. If I wasn't trying to publish something that might reference content not included in the Free Rules, I'd have a hard time justifying my purchase. I spend more on each of these rulebooks than I have to spend on food in an average week, so I need them to be...

You called it. Since the rules are so short, I wish WotC had just kept them in the PHB like they did in 2014, but at least there aren't any surprises.

I purchased the physical book to keep on a bookshelf, but I'm glad this resource exists. While the Free Rules aren't as good as getting a PDF, they at least provide a way to search the majority of the rules content when I just need to quickly review something. That saves me from putting...

I picked up a hard copy the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide on its release day yesterday. I've been perusing the Greyhawk section of the book, studying the presentation style used therein. Once I've digested that info a bit, I'll decide if I want to change any of my trail guide's formatting to more...

I haven't seen anyone telling people what species to include in their home games. As far as I can tell, publishing Greyhawk with X major species isn't imposing any idea on others, no matter what value one picks for X.

Page 177 of the 2024 PHB has a list of features that all backgrounds have, but it does not have any rules players can use to pick new values for those features. In most cases, it's easy enough to figure out, but that's not the same as having an actual, explicit rule. Case in point: The actual...
