Gygax was frankly just bad with names all around. I feel like the anagrams were often his more inspired ones :LOL:

I wonder how much of that is "ease of use" (you don't have to "know all the lore") versus it being a reaction to how the timeline jump in FR for 4E was so poorly received? The Realms reset + ten year jump in 5E has been so haphazard and internally inconsistent that it's really hard to grasp how...

I love Greyhawk and I absolutely have no need for it being updated by WOTC because I can jettison the bad parts on my own with ease. Plus DMsGuild has the 32 page folio and City of Greyhawk as print on demand for cheap, and they are good quality. I do slightly prefer the 1e box set for its depth...

Oh yes I have, and a I love it for exactly that reason!

DO NOT PLAY THIS IF YOU HAVE VERTIGO

I would love to see his take on a megadungeon. It would be absolutely bananas.

Source?

Haha, sorry to ruin that for you ;-P You can see much bigger images at their site; just scroll down. G.I. JOE Roleplaying Game Standee Pack #1

I really wanted to like these, but the art is so small for the profile of these, and some of the shapes are a little silly. Destro is basically printed on a Mickey head. I was hoping for something a little more "art forward" like Pathfinder Pawns.

Great question. To the best of my knowledge, neither Dark Tower nor Old School Traps were up on Amazon pre-crowdfunding, and I was at least vaguely aware enough to be looking. Both are up there now, with Old School Traps as pre-order for end of May. I've never seen any other crowdfunded books...

But if it's releasing in Oct, production is already paid for, and the turn around will be so small that if anyone were to catch errors or anything, it'd be about 4 months too late to do anything about it. Why crowdfund when you're already doing pre-orders? Is this normally how late in the...

Starts around 28 min in that video. Confirmed for crowdfunding sometime in the summer. Which makes those Amazon and B&N links even weirder. What are they crowdfunding if there's already an ISBN and mass market pre-order setup available?

That would be my guess, though it's weird that these pages have been live for a little while now (at least several weeks) and there's been no chatter on any of Goodman's channels, Reddit, or anywhere else that I regularly tune for this stuff. Really flying under the radar for news!

Gladly! I believe we are scheduled to run close to the end of this month.

Looks like Thracia is coming at the end of Oct according to Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Great points, all! I agree that I framed this quite a bit too far on the side of "5E heroes on a quest" and need to lean more into what makes Shadowdark strong. I think the simple change of reframing the hook and making the spreading curse more of a background element that might come out later...

TL;DR: I hope this isn't a threadjack -- or if it is, it's a fruitful one that adds to the conversation, as well -- but I was wondering what would you folks put on your wish list of things to update, revise, or add to B3 in order to strengthen its themes and story? Background: I'm planning to...

I love monster books because of the inspiration mainly, then the lore, and lastly the stats. I used to think (for an embarrassingly long time) that I liked them for the stats more, but only all-too-recently have I discovered that I don't like my games as mechanically complex as I thought I did...

I'd start with Shadowdark or Knave, and build from there. Before SD dropped, I was using Knave as the basis of some hacks and it was incredibly powerful and streamlined, making it really easy to do so. The compatibility with B/X-era D&D means you open up so much content for direct use that it's...

This is a very important point. I've used ChatGPT for some game prep and it cannot consistently follow the rules of games it has access to, even with further definition from me over many prompts and exercises. By trying to pull from so many different sources -- many of which are pretty good...
