Anyone who has a problem with Giff just hasn't done enough research into the history of D&D stupid. We have over 40 years of it. Have you never considered how ridiculous gelatinous cubes, mimics and owlbears are? Yet we love them all. Every atrocity ever inflicted on this game has its fans...

If only Isaac Asimov were around to write I, Paladin about the ethical loopholes and moral traps presented by these rules. I would buy that book!

As for being the "most popular" character from 1,001 Arabian Nights, I disagree and put him at third on the list. He is certainly well known to the modern audience but that is largely due to the Disney movie, which is a lot of fun and a great movie, but we all know Disney has a tenuous...

Yeah but we all known what happened when WotC decided it needed a new ruleset after ten popular years with the 3e/3.5 ruleset. Now Paizo is doing the same thing, and if they aren't careful, they might get those numbers!

Yeah he goes kind of emo and kind of evil and kind of insane, and then the 5e Forgotten Realms reset button hits.

If that's your experience than great. But I feel that ttrpgs offer many things even the best video games are a long ways off from replicating. In a tabletop campaign your character can have a personal history, goals and ideals that actually matter in the world.I'm video games, you are usually...

Pillars of Eternity, Dragon Age, Divinity Original Sin are all great examples of how video games with strong worldbuilding can be married to the depth of TTRPGs to produce a satisfying hybrid for people coming in from both sides. But I feel that when a gamer plays one of these games, it often...

Meanwhile I have heard that video games are at a bit of a crisis point, because in terms of units sold, video games aren't selling more copies than they were a decade ago, but gamers want more. More voice acting, more game modes, more story, lots of things that raise the cost while they are...

If EGG were still around, I doubt he would agree with his son's sentiment that pen and paper are a dying art. The digital release of Gygax's IP might prove to be a wonderful way to extend the Gygax legacy. But I think it's clear that Alex is not part of that legacy. Especially by insulting the...

Brave sounds like a minor curse. Lol. If you want to avoid feelings of shame and guilt, kiss your life preservation good bye!

If they do 5E Spelljammer, I want to see them approach it like they did Ravenloft. Instead of a campaign guide, give us a beefy adventure with side treks, amazing battles and locations, set the tone, have appendices to cover the staples. A bit of support online (articles, Dragon+) and let...

Update 3E (or older) to 3.5? Would this be part of WotC's "Play Pathfinder Instead" initiative?

Lot of speculation that it's a board game or something to do with MtG going on here, but why would you bring in Keith Baker and Rodney Thompson in to work on a board game? Doesn't add up. Maybe it's something cross-media.

That would be Star Warriors you're remembering. As much as I loved SW d6 and WEG, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that it was a treasure trove of lore before 'expanded universe' was even a term. It was backwards from so many RPGs in that the material for the game heavily influenced...

It wouldn't be the first time Volo made an appearance without Ed writing him. I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely that Ed Greenwood wrote his dialogue for his appearance in the tavern in the original Baldur's Gate.

I haven't been investing much into third party material for 5e, but this has me a bit excited. I don't remember the original and am sure I didn't have it, so this is all new content for me. Side note: The cover shown above from the original looks like it would make an interesting counterpoint...

I was really hoping for an animated broom. Aside from NPCe, pretty much everything here has been done. Why not some of the untapped potential from Curse of Strahd? Scarecrows would be nice.

Thank you for answering. It's helpful to have some idea of the pedigree of a company when there's so many to choose from.

I'm not familiar with Storm Bunny. What have they done before this?
