    Looking Back on 2024 – Looking Forward to 2025

    Back: 5.5e is definitely not my style. To magical and super hero esq. Forward: With every publisher, youtube star, and blogger making a 5e clone it creates hype fatigue. Much like durring 4e I will probably just go back to my homebrew rules, harder to find player but more fulfilling. Yup I...

    ToV Tales of the Valiant Starter Set

    I'm a sucker for starter sets. Even better if they are full games. To me that means character creation, some monsters, treasures and advice in how to build adventures. Pathfinder 1e Beginers Box is a great example.

    D&D General Let's list/complain about things we don't like

    How comon magic is. How common non humans are. How cantrip destroy the economy. Ohhhh and Darkvision. Almost every pc now has the ability to cast magic spells, or can teleport with a species ability, or some fantastical ability. It's to mystical for me. Combine that with all the diffrent...

    Speed Running Entertainment

    In the mid 2000s in the hotel world the philosophy was having wifi was more important than having hot water. Now that folks can connect with there phone it's less important, but back then if buisness folk showed up and couldn't connect there lap tops it was devastating. Sad really, as...

    Dragon Reflections #86

    I really enjoyed these stories as collected in book form. Definitely worth checking out for fans of the genre. Fantasy Africa is underutilized.

    Speed Running Entertainment

    Sometime if something is really good and I start reading it I get sucked in. I read The Beach in one day. I read No Country For Old Men in a weekend. I did mean to do either but I started and couldn't stop.

    What Should An Introductory Scenario Look Like?

    Meaningful choices and freedom. It's what sets RPGs apart from other types of games like board and video. Starting scenario to introduce folks to RPGs should lean into that with spots that encourage players creativity. Hook new players on the magic. Even if it's not for new RPG players it...

    D&D General A Quick Peek At Tiamat In Amazon's 'Secret Level' Anthology TV Show

    The whole thing was too dark for me. Not like grim dark, just hard for me to see. I get everyone has dark vision now but I was rolled up during 1e so I had trouble seeing. Counters spell was fun The tiny hut was accurate to how people play now even though we all hate that spell in our hearts...

    Pathfinder Launches Playtest for Necromancer and Runesmith Classes

    thief is a subclass in 5e, but I agree it's not optimal. jokes aside I view all post 2e D&D to have leaned to far into the trap of charachter builds. When you tell me a game has over 20 classes I get anxiety about building my charachter.

    Pathfinder Launches Playtest for Necromancer and Runesmith Classes

    Yet somewhere someone has a build that takes a dip in to everyone of them culminating in a 32nd level character that can cast a 69d6 fireball, burrow 120ft a round, and make knowledge (geography) skill test at +56..

    D&D General How Do D&D Adventurers Dress?

    Seasoned adventures would dress practically, knowing that staying alive was more important than looking good. Most of the outfits you see in 3e and onward are ludicrously impractical. Especially all the buckles in 3e art, how long does it take to get dressed when you have 100 buckles? How...
