These five things are the main criteria to me.

This is why, when I played AD&D back in the Reagan years, I always brought a lawyer with me. "I'm going to pull out my longsword and attack those goblins! And I believe you all know Mr. Cohen."

In theory, the PDF version should be released this month. Whether or not they'll hit that goal I don't know, but that's the schedule. If it's out on time, that will mean Daggerheart, 13th Age 2e, and Draw Steel! will all be released within a span of about 7 weeks. I fear that one of those...

The part of Daggerheart that intrigues me the most -- but also frightens me the most -- is the lack of initiative in combat. Can anyone recommend an actual play where that's handled well? I really want to see it in action.

I'm not sure that the word "camp" is ideal in this context.

I love the fact that Daggerheart isn't exactly like D&D! But also, here are my houserules to make it exactly like D&D.

The original paladins in history/mythology were Christian holy knights who fought Muslim invaders during the Crusade era. So calling them "jihadist" is not that far from a simple statement of fact. There's room for disagreement, but it's hardly trolling. Clerics are trickier because there's a...

People do cheat, though. It's a fact. A guy showed up at our D&D meet-up a few years ago and pretended he was so nearsighted that he had to pick up his d20 to see what it said. He was actually just changing the die to always hit. It was fairly obvious. The fact that people like him cheat makes...

I'm delighted to report that today's conversation on the Goodman Games Discord is about putting together an all-drag-queen live play of City State just to enrage Bledsaw. So the trolls don't seem to have taken over yet. Emphasis on yet. This could certainly end very poorly.

Ha! I never played Eberron, so I don't have the best eye for this, but that pic looks prefectly Warforged-y to me. Except for the arc reactor in his chest, but that's easy to Photoshop out.

Ah, I forgot about YouTube. Too many online cesspools to keep track. :(

Out of curiosity, what have you seen? I'm not seeing much positive engagement with GG on any social media platform. Whenever they mention CSotIO, they're getting blasted. I especially liked when someone on Facebook asked what it would cost, and another person replied, "Their reputation." I...

It's Dall-e 3, which is quite good.

Nice! Which engine and what kind of prompt?

Foundry is stupendous but has a steep learning curve. I picked up Roll20 a good bit more quickly than I did Foundry. But once I got the hang of Foundry, it's much more powerful.

Me no beeleev that

Niji is Midjourney's anime engine. A smidgen of anime works well for D&D characters -- it emphasizes dramatic poses and strong styling over realism, which is good. Of course, too much anime input and you end up with saucer-eyed cartoons. It's not perfect: it put six fingers on his lower hand...

Midjourney Niji gave me this amazing art of a sorcerer conjuring lightning from his hands:

There's some pretty cool stuff in here, although I'm a little disappointed that the new class is pretty much just sorcerer meets warlock. That's especially a problem because IMHO sorcerers aren't different enough from wizards in 5e to begin with (although the 2024 rules improved this...
