    Palladium Announces New TMNT Kickstarter

    The fact that Palladium are happy to use Legion of Myth to promote the KS on Youtube is more than enough reason for me to completely avoid it, even ignoring Palladium's rather messy history with KS and fulfilment.

    D&D 5E (2024) What would you like in the 2024 DMG Instead of the Bastion System?

    I'd like decent options that actively support Theatre of the Mind play. Something beyond ye olde handwavium/eyeball it. Think zone-based combat rolled together with abstracted areas of effect, ranges, etc. Options for encumbrance that do not involve bean counting would also be welcome.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    By settlement, I assume that means he'll likely be required to pay them a given sum (possibly including the cost of their lawyers up to this point) and probably make a statement to the effect that he was in the wrong?

    So, do we know anything new regarding LaNasa's recent grillings?

    It does make you wonder what is going on, true.

    Is that normal or does it bode poorly for him?

    Will this one be recorded and transcribed or will it be a case of just reading the results after the hearing?

    Isn't Justin due to appear today for a thorough bankruptcy grilling hearing?

    What is the Best Licensed RPG?

    WEG Ghostbusters was pitch perfect and ahead of its time. The Fate-based Atomic Robo RPG is also beautifully realised and appropriate.

    What Game Systems Do You Have?

    I have purchased, read, run, and sold far too many RPGs to count over the years. At one point I had a trio of 1.5m shelves packed with RPG books, and that was only a fraction of what I'd owned. Now, my collection has been ruthlessly pruned to contain only those RPGs that I enjoy in every regard...

    What Licensed RPG Do You Wish Used A Different System?

    For me, the new Hellboy/BPRD and Stargate SG-1 RPGs should not have been 5e-based. Even the old GURPS version was a better fit than 5e for the former. Free League could likely come up with something better, or it should use a retooled version of the high action investigative version of Gumshoe...

    Official Adventure Time RPG Uses New 'Yes And' System

    Gotta say I'm not enthused about the custom dice either. They don't really look to do anything you can't easily do with existing dice (be they polyhedrals, standard d6s, or FATE/FUDGE dice), nor anything new that hasn't already been done in terms of systems that incorporate "Yes but/Yes and"...

    Renegade Studios Sends C&D To Stop Small Creator Using The Word 'Renegade'

    This, so much this. I mean, I'm sorry, but even if Rockstar took issue (and that's an "if") and mistakenly contacted Renegade Game Studios (another "if"), what does RGS do? They simply say, "Wrong folks, sorry, look over there." That's it. Done. No hassle, no problem, quick and easy. The fact...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    That's incredibly old news, and Michael long ago divested himself of continued involvement with or support of nuTSR. In fact, he has been steadfastly against them for quite some time now and has been repeatedly attacked by them as a result. There's no "currently" about his involvement with nuTSR...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Seven Classes Would You Keep? (and why!)

    I think you only need 3: Fighter (reskinned as ranger, gladiator, barbarian, etc.) Spellcaster (reskinned as sorcerer, wizard, warlock, etc.) Fighter-Spellcaster (reskinned as cleric, druid, paladin, spellsword, etc.) Everything else can be a function of skill choices, subclasses, and...

    To me it will forever be LaNada.

    D&D General If Dark Sun Was Pitched Now (Satire)

    Just for fun... Executive: Welcome to Beach Sorcerers, Bob. I hear you have an intriguing pitch for a new setting you’d like us to publish? What can you tell me? Bob: Well, it’s very different from your existing offerings. It’s a grim world I call, “Dark Sun.” Executive: Oh, so the sun is dark...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Of course you can't stop stupid people from saying or doing stupid things, nor is anyone saying this is somehow uniquely a problem. But this isn't about whether you or I care, it's really about whether WotC would care, because the thread is quite literally about why they aren't touching the...
