    RPG Gear: Playing cards

    PEG, Inc. does produce their own cards for use with Savage Worlds. They're larger than a standard deck of cards which is actually kind of nice when using them for the game. But I'm guessing you might want some cards related to the theme of whatever game you're playing. I picked up some...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    We are an unreliable partner at best and an actively hostile entity at worse. The current administration made actually made a deal with Canada during its first term, but decided to go against it during his second term by starting a trade war. What this means is even if Canada and the United...

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    I don't have any problem with anyone making bank. If they're making a ton of profit off something they could have sold me for much cheaper it doesn't bother me in the least. They're offering a price I'm willing to pay for and that's good enough for me.

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    Lumber is a major industry down here in Arkansas as well and we even have a few paper mills. I'm not sure if it's the right wood for the type of paper that goes into books though. This does illustrate just how underappreciated the complexity of supply chains really are by most of us.

    How Fantastical Do You Like Your Fantasy World?

    Honestly, it's not something I really worry about either. I've never really looked at a game and said, "That's way too fantastical, I don't want to play." I prefer campaign settings that are a little on the grounded side, for a certain value of grounded, but I can appreciate something like...

    How Fantastical Do You Like Your Fantasy World?

    I prefer a mostly down to Earth setting with the more fantastical elements not playing a major role in the day-to-day lives of regular people. i.e. Farmer Bob might see a roc in the sky one day and worry about one of his cows being picked off, but he doesn't have a druid on standby to enhance...

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    Can confirm and I'm just a crummy miniatures painter. The brush strokes left behind do not correspond to the image we see. At least not exactly.

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    No. Even if it cost the same or the prices were somehow lower, were I a Canadian I still wouldn't purchase anything from a U.S. company. Not while there was a trade war going on. This isn't just about the price of things. But I don't think the message from Troll Lord Games was directed an...

    D&D General Western-Inspired D&D adventures

    I've apologized to you so many times for that. What else can I say to make up for that? :) I guess the internet has got to internet, right?

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    I'm picturing Tinkerbell appearing, telling us to "Clap! Clap if you believe in RPGs! If you believe in RPGs, they never truly die!"

    How can the tabletop gaming industry survive without China?

    It is very difficult for any company to make plans when there is a lack of stability in the market. Right now, the United States doesn't have the capability to print game books or produce board games, at least not in the numbers and quality we've grown accustomed to, and it will take years...

    D&D General Western-Inspired D&D adventures

    This is a difficult one for me because the themes and stock characters we expect from the western genre are often lacking in D&D. If you want to make a module a western, you just slap on those stock characters and trappings and you're pretty much there, but there are a few that are probably...

    An examination of player agency

    Uh, no, not at all. There are certainly GMs who abuse their authority, but this isn't really about abuse is it? The GM has a fundamentally different role from that of a player. To argue that the GM should be bound by the exact same rules as the players is just odd because they have different...

    I don't. What double standard do you see here?

    An examination of player agency

    Practically speaking, how often is a GM overriding any rule based on their whims really a problem? This is not a rules problem this is a social problem. Changing the rules isn't going to fix a jerk GM. How many games don't have clear rules understood by the players? Then you just end up in a...

    An examination of player agency

    What's even the point of having a GM who is as bound to the rules as a player? One of the essential functions of a GM is to adjudicate actions, and there are always going to be cases where the rules do not cover whatever situation your players find themselves in. If player and GM are bound by...
