    Reaper Bones 5 live on kickstarter - a.k.a I'm gonna need a bigger boat (wallet)

    Pledged for $1 on this. Will possibly end up getting the core set plus extras via the pledge manager. Still need to think about it..

    D&D General $299 D&D Anniversary Sapphire Dice

    The definition of swindle - to get money dishonestly from someone by deceiving or cheating them. WotC are neither deceiving or cheating anyone. They are being very up front about the fact that these dice are $299 and that there are less than 2,000 of them. They are even telling people the...

    D&D General $299 D&D Anniversary Sapphire Dice

    I fail to see how this is swindling people into buying overpriced dice. Have WotC advertised the dice at $50 and then charged $299 for them? No. Have WotC dictated that you must have these dice in order to play in the Adventurer's League? No. Have WotC said that buying this dice will get you...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    Some of the index entries send you to another item in the index, which then just gives a single page number. Why would you do that instead of just listing the page number under the first entry? It makes no sense.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    If someone at WotC could figure out how to write a proper index that would be great. That and a better way to know what part of the book you're in. I mean, there's dozens and dozens of books (not just RPG books, but travel books, etc.) that have found great ways to make their material as...

    The ENnie Awards is proud to announce the 2019 Nominations!

    There is a heap of stuff I haven’t even heard of in here. However, having clicked on a few links, a lot of it looks really, really interesting. I can see a few new purchases in my future!

    That Full D&D Renault Commercial Is Here And It Features Tiamat And Venger!

    That is freaking awesome! Now I want a live action D&D cartoon.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Final Announcement from The Descent Live Stream: Eberron Hardcover

    I don’t know why you keep trying to equate roleplaying books with video games as though they are homogeneous interchangeable products. They aren’t and trying to use video games in your examples as a comparison just weakens your argument.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Final Announcement from The Descent Live Stream: Eberron Hardcover

    How have you “wasted” $20? The PDF came out 11 months ago and I’m guessing there will be about an 18 month gap between the PDF and the hardcover. Even if the hardcover was an exact reprint of the PDF (which it won’t be, and could be completely different), you’ve still had Eberron material for...

    Paizo's Kingmaker Crowdfunding Campaign Extended

    Supporting PF1 with a hardcover release just as you're about to release PF2 seems like a bad idea. Plus Kingmaker was originally released as a PF1 adventure path, so it's available for the PF1 rules currently if people want it. I'm pretty sure that the RotR and CotCT were originally released for...

    Paizo To Make Kingmaker Bestiary... For D&D 5E!

    As S'mon said, the Goblinworks Kickstarters were totally all Paizo. I'm just guessing they were set up under a separate company for business purposes, so that if it failed (as it has), it didn't take the rest of Paizo down with it.

    Paizo To Make Kingmaker Bestiary... For D&D 5E!

    Only 900 backers so far, which is less than I would have expected.

    Paizo To Make Kingmaker Bestiary... For D&D 5E!

    She makes many good points. In addition to being forced to buy the AP in order to have the chance to buy the Bestiary, there were several red flags she pointed out that made me wary of backing this one. That said, she also sounds very salty. Does anyone know what led to her no longer working...

    Paizo To Make Kingmaker Bestiary... For D&D 5E!

    I was a maybe until I discovered that I couldn’t get the bestiary by itself. That, combined with the AP being for PF, rather than 5E and a 2020 release date made it a no for me.

    If Spells and Abilities Were Written How My Players Use Them

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    You make it sound like it takes exactly zero time to plan, run, film, edit and produce their shows. You don't think that the crew filming, editing and producing the one-shot will need to be paid for their time, as well as the people appearing in the one-shot? These aren't exactly one guy filming...

    John Wick Sells 7th Sea to Chaosium

    Good news for 7th Sea. Wick must have really dug himself a hole with that Kickstarter, but good to see he didn’t just leave it in a steaming pile like many other Kickstarter creators have done.

    Check Out Wayne Reynolds' Pathfinder Bestiary 2 Artwork!

    I doubt I'll buy Pathfinder 2E, but WAR certainly draws some fantastic artwork.

    What are you currently playing?

    Currently 30 sessions into a Tomb of Annihilation campaign (as a player). We've felt like we were a bit directionless at times, just following one random lead after another to try and find the Soulmonger, but it's been awesome fun. The DM has done a great job of bringing Chult, with all its...
