A bit adjacent to this is something I seen a few OSR fans (not OSR designers) speak out loud. They felt like they kept the torch burning during the "dark times" (which might be 5e or go all the way back to 3e) and thought they would be seen as mentors, teacher, or even as esteemed geek among...

That's sad as I follow OSR youtube tastemakers like Questing Beast and Dungeon Masterpiece and they spoke highly of it. (Including De Ropp standing on his chair during Shadowdark's awards win. :ROFLMAO: ) At this point, I avoid OSR social media, especially as the posts recycle the same four or...

I think part of the allure of Troll's Spire is how much love you have for this character:

I'd say S&S was on a comeback until, sadly, Howard Andrew Jones passed away this year. His Chronicles of Hanuvar is fun (What if Hannibal had lost and was now freeing his enslaved people across the Empire.) He had just become editor of Tales From The Magician’s Skull anthology (with monster...

For me, this is one of those "joking/not joking" statements CEO blurt out because: If a CEO doesn't say they are "AI bullish" then he loses the investors chasing the latest buzz word If someone actually creates an AI thing that fits D&D, he can take credit for either finding it or shepherding...

Exactly, Free League pitches their new fantasy game, Dragonbane as Mirth and Mayhem. Which seems to translate into adventures that range from serious to a bit silly.

We laugh, I've seen it. One GM of mine had the table vote for Forgotten REalms back in the later days 3.5e. One player brought egg crates full of 2e books and a big smile on his face.

I was thinking the same thing that this has to sell to parents who are more involved with their kids as compared to how some parents were before warning labels were put on cassettes and the Satanic Panic drove a few sales towards TSR. Personally, I don't find it silly at all. I'm not a...

From my perspective, I agree and suspect that's what the second PC is to assist with. You could also slip in troupe play, I suppose. I never got to play it, but I thought Rogue Trader was actually genius. I saw a lot of potential in that set up, including satire because nothing good ever came...

There is also an urban fantasy city book and a "Expert" book of additional Heroic Abilities and optional rules both in the works.

For me, the Nvidia manager has always sucked. It attempts to update and then gives an error message and never updates.

LOL! Don't forget the obligatory, "I'll never use a VTT and this one won't change my mind!" It reminds me of how many Discords now have a dedicated VTT channel. It's because chatting about any VTT stuff, especially How To questions about Foundry, just drown out everything else in a general...

I am not an actual play watcher or a WWE fan, however, I fully applaud this whole concept. And I don't know if this will change my mind on either of these types of entertainment, but I hope this blows minds of both D&D and WWEE fans who watch it. WWE in Ancient Greece with a "Titan Takedown"...

My first guess would be to drop the concept of most supers PCs being “balanced” in a RPG; eg. Somehow justifying Batman can as effective against the same villains as Superman because Batman outthinks them. Throw that balance out the window and you’re half way to the Invincible universe.

Which itself is a 3pp spin on Mothership. A little bit of irony there.

The 3pp licensing is pretty easy to use (A disclaimer and a logo), but the core guideline is that a 3pp can't change core rules. We can only add, not replace a core rule. It's more flexible than one assumes and the goal is that all 3pp will be compatible with core game. For example: Instead...

I hear TORG topped this by implying the "real" hero being watched by the PCs was either the line developer or main adventure writer. Same. I feel like if you don't get into this industry young and make it through the very lean years and avoid burnout along the way, then the chances of braking...

The silly answer: So the position lets you do all the fun GM prep all day without having to juggle CRs and PC levels. The less silly answer: Some of this will be the dream job for a lot of people, worldbuilding and fun outlining without the extra load of filling that outline by writing a whole...

The Aboleth are the main cosmic horror for OGL adventures, anything that pumps them up is a GM win.

Well, a lyre and a harp are two handed items?
