Ooh I hadn’t even see this tech before! Looks like another good solution

Yeah, that’s a solid point and definitely true. I do try to be a good ally (well, being a decent person is my actual objective) but I’ve encountered those mixed messages too. For whatever it’s worth, appropriation is all around us and flows in many directions, but it seems like a spirit of...

I’m afraid not; Edmonton. But I do appreciate the offer! Maybe if I’m heading that way one day, I’ll send you a message

I suppose the past few years have made me pretty willing to divorce the art from the artist; it’s a shame to throw away great creativity because of politics. So I’d rather think of this project “the first major Indigenous RPG” rather than “Connor Alexander’s RPG”, because it’s bigger than him...

Thanks for this. Maybe I’m charitable, but I think I see where the Connor Alexander is coming from. He and a bunch of others put a lot of work into creating this game; it’s surely frustrating that some people would refuse to play it because they think that not playing it is somehow helping...

Cheers, mate! And thanks for the story!

I’m not qualified to give you a complete answer to that, but I’ll try to provide relevant info. Briefly: No, I don’t think so. None of those names appear in a text search except Lakota, which is cited in the section about the setting’s fictional language. It’s not exactly one pan-Native...

No judgement and I’m not trying to provoke, so feel free not to respond. But what do you mean by “ranty”? I haven’t watched any interviews with him, just read a couple of them (like this one). Anyway, even if the game sucks (I don’t think it does) and the author is a jerk (no reason for me to...

I’m no longer a collector (been out of that stuff for years), so consider my advice in that context. * If you’re looking for basic monsters, DON’T buy the random packs! You’re unlikely to get what you’re hoping for, so you may end up with lots of minis you don’t want. * Stores and online often...

It’s one of the frustrations of time, seeing how innovative and exciting things become mundane eventually. I friggin’ love Eberron, and while the setting surely has more players now than ever before, I think many of the players who joined in 5E don’t realize how groundbreaking that setting was...

I’m a huge fan of this project! I got my hardcover from the original KS a few months ago, and unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to play it—but the setting is great! I realize ENWorlders come from all around the world, so the significance of this product may not be obvious to everyone. If...

They’re classics of the D&D genre, why not give them a read?

Man, we’re really ramped up on branded minis the past few years—all of it WizKids, I think. My LGS is liquidating some boardgames for more room for minis shelving. I assume they must be selling well! But damn, it’s huge for something that’s kinda peripheral to the actual game…

This bit of marketing hype-speak made my eyes roll. Microsoft once told me that Windows 10 would be the last edition of Windows, too. Anyway, 5E is huge, popular, and old. It needs a revision badly and I’m glad WotC is moving that way. However, I must shoutout to EN Publishing’s Level Up...

Ah, disappointing. A total of three 64 page books plus a DM screen seems like the slipcase must contain almost as much cardboard as paper—perhaps hardcovers are part of 5E’s “brand”, but that still seems like bad value. One of my biggest frustrations with 5E has been the “fill in the blanks”...

Well, they might, but the whole thing will be levels 3-8, Kyuss will totally just be misunderstood antihero, and the coverart will feature a cutesy chibi-larva-mage that can be a mascot for the adventure and feature prominently in branded toys. /s 😃

Nice! Well done!

Idk, did Forgotten Realms even exist when that show was airing? I always assumed they were in Greyhawk, so no Spellplague

I feel the same about DoIP. Came into it expecting a full campaign like LMoP but found many of the actual adventure locations totally lacking. I hope this new Starter Set adventure is a lot more satisfying as a newbie/intro adventure

When all else fails, just slap as many legal disclaimers as possible—that way, all your bases are covered! /s
