    D&D 5E (2024) You Can Now Pre-order Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    It seems they are playing around with more Art Nouveau. especially with the warforged. It's not a deal breaker but I'm not a fan. Going forward, Eberron will probably be my default go to. I want to embrace more of that pulp/noir vibe and I am happy to hear they are providing guidelines to...

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

    It seems part of that mental make up is that there is someone to conveniently blame for anything - including their own mistakes. Overall - yikes and disappointing. I began in 1984, in the 9th grade, out in the sticks. I wasn't aware of the City State until sometime much later thanks to the...

    Mass Layoffs At Polygon, Major Gaming News Outlet

    I think that's probably more true that most people know. It seems that the only real businesses at this point are private ones, not because of the lack of SEC oversight but because they stay under the radar as the sharks trying to dismantle every publicly owned business they can take over thanks...

    Mass Layoffs At Polygon, Major Gaming News Outlet

    Dennis Detwiler said he came back to ttrpgs due to the bizarreness of the video game industry where a publisher company's owners were almost embarrassed to be owning a video game company but yet they kept churning and burning these businesses to make the easy money out of each company sale.

    On BlueSky, Hall said, "I feel nothing." I was lucky enough to chat with him once, great guy. I hope he lands somewhere great very soon.

    RPG Evolution: Owlbear and Gnoll Terrain

    Ah Ah. I must have been wisdom that comes in those final four years. In my 41 years of GMing, it seems ToTM or grid really depends on the group at the table. Some have a harder time visualizing what is described, and need visual aides, while some GMs have a harder time communicating a combat...

    RPG Evolution: Owlbear and Gnoll Terrain

    The castle intrigued me most. They are a separate product and a little more expensive but I'm thinking about it.

    Dragonbane general thread

    I am about to wrap up the Dragon Emperor campaign for the second time. I've enjoyed both times. That is a fib. Instead of the Dragon Emperor, it has actually been a mash up of that game and the default campaign for Free Leagues YZE fantasy game, Forbidden Lands. So both campaigns have been a...

    Saw these guys on a sponsored FB ad. I know nothing about them but figured I would pass on the news to those who would be better judges. https://herotime1.com/

    RPG Archive: Star*Drive for D&D and Traveller

    I always admired Star*Drive goal of trying to create a setting that would do for sci-fi what vanilla fantasy settings do for fantasy. In fantasy, a lot gamers ask, "Which forest do the elves live? Great. Where do the dwarves dig? Fantastic, let's make a PC and go." In sci-fi, gamers seem to...

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

    I know that France has/used to have a program of some sort where ttrpg art is subsidized by the government. It's one of the reason Asmodee moved all of their ttrpg operations to Edge Studios. On a more serious note, though, it would be tough to move.

    Mongoose Publishing Acquires Dark Conspiracy RPG

    Don't knock yourself too hard. Most ttrpg game companies start that way - and then end that way as well. It is all a learning experience if you keep going.

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

    Thank you again, Morrus, for you and your team keeping us up to date on this situation. I am willing to bet in early days of EN World, you never had "Tariffs journalism" on your bingo card.

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Riverbank, Woodlander, Ryecroft, and more

    If the designer's name for Riverbank, Kij Johnson, sounds familiar it is because she was TSR editor back in the day. She's won some fiction awards since then (the Hugo and Nebula) and now has come back to gaming.

    Mongoose Publishing Acquires Dark Conspiracy RPG

    I never got around to playing this but of course I loved the cover. For those who did play it, what was it like? And what was it about?
