    D&D General Companies Cut Ties With Judges Guild After Owner's Racist Posts

    You are missing the point. Politics are part of it. They are a major reason why the mentally challenged racists are emboldened to open their mouths and spew their hate. Whether you like it or not, we have to become political to put a stop to the hate.

    D&D General Companies Cut Ties With Judges Guild After Owner's Racist Posts

    The Internet is a double-edged tool. It enables folks like us who enjoy RPGs and gaming in general to meet up digitally, play games digitally, and share our love and passion for this great hobby. At the same time it also allows for mentally challenged people to do the same with people who share...

    Roll20 Reports First Drop For D&D

    I am not sure how they tabulate things to generate the report. I have four tables I use for Pathfinder 2 game play. I only use them for Pathfinder Society games. One of the tables has 11 PFS2 scenarios built on it and I've hosted about 20 game sessions on that one table alone. I have the PF2...

    ICv2's Latest Quarterly Chart: D&D Top, But PF2 Is Strong

    I can't see the sales chart as I'm not a subscriber of ICv2. I'd like to see if they lumped PF1 and PF2 together or not. I know it sold extremely well via Amazon upon release, but I don't know about sales after August. Everywhere I look, PF2 play is picking up. I run PFS exclusively and my...

    News Digest for the Week of December 27

    What an utter douchebag! This Goldner guy isn't going to pass the Bar, let alone get through law school with that mentality. Now he has thoroughly ruined his own reputation along with his companies. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

    Pathfinder Lost Omens Character Guide: A Review

    On the other hand, a universal campaign allows for players to share in a larger community of people enjoying Pathfinder Second Edition. Some home games turn into nothing more than GM power trips where the rules are vaguely in line with what they are supposed to be. Restrictive rules are what...

    Pathfinder Lost Omens Character Guide: A Review

    Now we just have to wait far too long for it to be sanctioned for PFS game play.

    D&D General From the Freelancing Frontline – From Hobby to Career

    Awesome! I really enjoy these personal stories because it reveals the personal side of this business which I still refer to as my hobby.

    D&D General D&D In The Mainstream - Again!

    I'm glad to see my hobby become mainstream. As a Pathfinder player of both editions, I understand that my games are lumped in with D&D as part of the overall trend. Either way, roleplay is doing very, very good!

    D&D 3.x 3E and the Feel of D&D

    I missed out completely on 3e due to the collapse of TTRPG in our area when the wretched waste of perfectly good cardboard came out. I ran a mashup of 1e/2e for a long time and when we finally were able to restart gaming in the area my first attempts were with 1e/2e. I am not knocking 3e. What...

    D&D General The Sales of D&D vs. AD&D vs. AD&D 2nd Edition

    You are quite right about MTC destroying the tabletop gaming. It was devastating to see the impact on roleplay games. My area is a largely rural area and it was over a decade before we could begin to pick up the pieces and rebuild roleplay gaming here. That was largely a result of the Internet...

    D&D General The Sales of D&D vs. AD&D vs. AD&D 2nd Edition

    The biggest reason why AD&D 2e dropped off in my region is because of Magic-The Incredible Waste of Time and Money came out. Suddenly that sucked all the younger players away and without them we couldn't sustain campaigns. RPGs dropped off to nothing as people flocked to a deck of cards that had...

    Pathfinder 2 GM Experience

    I'm up to 32 PFS2 sessions ran (I'm losing track of them actually) and my experience GMing the sessions is a blast as I've gained more experience with the rules. Combat is intense, but the players and I really enjoy it. Right now the main issue I'm experiencing is remembering to do all the...

    TSR Jim Ward: Demons & Devils, NOT!

    I have to deal with some of this crap when I teach American History and World Regional Geography. We have a local 4-year college that is definitely a religious college. They refuse to teach evolution and get a tad upset when their views are shown to be wrong. In the Geography course I cover the...

    RPG Evolution: The Road Trip That Changed a World

    I remember picking up the first Dragonlance book and falling in love with it immediately. It had everything I wanted in a fantasy novel. Then I saw the AD&D modules for it and knew there was a great gaming world beckoning to be played in. Unfortunately, I lived in Northeast Missouri which is a...

    Pathfinder 2 GM Experience

    It definitely is more difficult to build your own adventures. Balancing content over time can be a difficult endeavor. The more experience one has with doing so counteracts that, but as always, acquiring experience can be painful for the players. Don't forget, one can always purchase content...

    TSR The Beginning: 1968 and Meeting Gary Gygax and the Gygax Family

    Thanks for sharing your story, Rob. I too got started with an Avalon Hill game. A friend showed me Tactics II and about a month later I ran across Rise and Decline of the Third Reich at a department store in St. Joseph, Missouri. I managed to convince my mother to buy it and my circle of...

    Pathfinder 2E Complexity vs. Depth -- A Look Inside Pathfinder 2nd Edition

    Whatever tools the GM wants to put in place. Pathfinder 2 has created a deep set of mechanics to address a lot of stuff. However, it always will come down to the GM who builds campaigns and sessions to create the stories if the group is a homebrew set up. Nothing wrong with that. I personally...

    Pathfinder 2E Complexity vs. Depth -- A Look Inside Pathfinder 2nd Edition

    PF2 gives you a lot of choices. It doesn't have as many as PF1 does currently with 10 years of expansions, but then again PF1's choices are not balanced and in many cases are terrible or overpowering. Personally, I would have liked a classless system like The Dark Eye, but that might have been...
