    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    They'll all be non-evil. Players loooove to play against type. I mean, who saw a non-good Drow PC after Drizzt?

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Author Tracy Hickman Has His DRAGONS OF DECEIT Advanced Copies!

    Nice cover. They lost me at time travel and Tasslehoff though. Again. It's like some sort of Dragonlance time loop.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Dragons of Stormwreck Isle Based on the 80s D&D Cartoon?

    Perhaps its a hint that in 5.5E the iconic party will be ranger, barbarian, magician, thief, cavalier, and acrobat!

    The Olympics (In General)

    We normally have watched more of the Winter Olympics than summer, and it's basically the only sporting events we'll watch. But this year it was mostly "meh". Between Chinese political grandstanding, being a Winter Olympics in a location where they had to import winter, IOC shenanigans around a...

    Is The One Ring 2E Kickstarter going to break the records?

    The "player-heroes" (awkward term) are hired by Bilbo to help him fill some gaps in research about the Shire and find other items. Across five adventures they have to: Each adventure is 2-4 sections or "scenes" and hits all the major sections of the Shire. Not a huge campaign, but great for a...

    RPG Evolution: Treating Session Zero Like a Movie Trailer

    Session zero opening lines: "The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live, will remember it. It began with ..."

    86.37% of statistics are made up on the spot. It was 88.7% combat, anyway. They just rounded up.

    Is The One Ring 2E Kickstarter going to break the records?

    Mine arrived Thursday. Great product. I really like how the starter set basically gives you a Shire mini-campaign, and one that showcases how you can built great adventures that don't involve killing things and taking their stuff (though in the case of Bilbo it's still "taking their stuff")...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is D&D 90% Combat?

    With you on skills, though I also think that's an area that doesn't necessarily require heavy mechanics. I disagree with you on the tone of the rules, though. I referenced BX so I'm talking specifically Moldvay here -- I think that tone was much heavier on exploration. Default assumption was...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is D&D 90% Combat?

    How much an individual D&D game is about combat is down to the individual table, DMs, and players. Roleplay doesn't really require a lot of mechanics, so D&D can replicate a huge range of playstyles. But mechanically I think it still favors combat (not surprising, for a game derived from...

    "A Christmas Story" sequel set in 1970s coming to HBO Max

    There was already a sequel ... 1994's "My Summer Story." Plus there was a really bad "Ac Christmas Story 2" from circa 2014. If it's based on Jean Shepard's writing there will be some hope. If not ...
