    D&D 5E (2014) Here Are The Races In The New Eberron Book

    I've run Planescape in 5E with minimal work; just had to fit Factions into the 5E rules, and folks have already done that work for me. (Alternative) Only think missing is psionics, which I've never cared about that much, anyway, and there are DMsGuild releases plus the Mystic class that cover...

    D&D 5E (2014) Here Are The Races In The New Eberron Book

    They'd be foolish to NOT have Greyhawk -- specifically Castle Greyhawk -- as a 50th anniversary release. (Of course, there's all the drama around Gail Gygax, though, so it might not be worth it from a financial standpoint.)

    D&D General A Chat With 'Solasta' 5E Video Game Developers

    Yeah, plus it gets room to have some things that aren't 30+ year old stuff we're all bored by at this point. If part of the gameplay is about discovering and exploring the larger world, having some different races, archetypes, backgrounds, and so on goes a long way toward making it feel...

    Keith Baker and Jenn Ellis working on a The Adventure Zone Tabletop RPG

    Interesting! Not to derail the thread much, but could you sum up a few reasons why? I loved a lot of Dungeon World, but when I ran it, I found myself immediately -- almost subconsciously -- houseruling several things. So obviously while I liked some bits, there were others that I simply...

    Keith Baker and Jenn Ellis working on a The Adventure Zone Tabletop RPG

    Interesting. I didn't know they've moved to PBtA, but that makes sense. They play so fast and loose with D&D that this probably makes sense for folks looking for a similar "template" to play from: much of D&D's downtime systems and more involved combat strategy stuff doesn't really seem like...

    TSR The Lost City - Goodman Games Next Classic TSR Adventure Revisited

    Nice! I held off from getting these because of the factors many other folks have noted: including reprints of the original adventures didn't seem *that* big of a draw for the page count, the price tag was a bit high, and the conversion work seems relatively easy, overall. I finally picked up...

    Orr Group's Roll20 Stats Q2 2019 Use New Method; Cthulhu Up, D&D/PF Down

    What's still interesting to me is that AD&D predominantly rises above any other OSR by a pretty big factor, but so much of the OSR tries to emulate B/X or OD&D. OSRIC, the AD&D clone, has a highly active playing and forum community yet seems to be ignored in terms of getting an SRD out, having a...

    Pathfinder 2E Here's A Pathfinder 2E Goblin

    Warrior refers to the goblin warrior, not a player character. So, it's basically saying "if any [allied] goblin [presumably could be a goblin commando, goblin shaman, etc.] ends a move action adjacent to the goblin warrior, the goblin warrior steps."

    Pathfinder 2E Here's A Pathfinder 2E Goblin

    Oof. That "As goblin warrior" reference is a little painful. It works in the context of the book: both stat blocks show up on the same page, referencing the thing nearby is easy. Okay. But in an adventure where you might not have an encounter that features both creatures, you suddenly have to...

    Gavin Norman, Necrotic Gnome, Talks Old-School Essentials and D&D 5E Dolmenwood

    I'm a backer of the KS. Here are my feelings and notes: 1. Development is like 99% done. We've already got the books, with the exception of the Advanced stuff, but the previews have proven those are very far along and just need some final edits and layout. Art is coming in, and literally every...

    WotC WotC Looking For A New D&D Producer?

    Yeah, I can't imagine how many gamers and small-time creators are applying for this position that's way high-level and will have a huge amount of analyzing dollars and cents, and selling financial projections for executives. Not a fun job (IMHO), but a powerful role indeed.

    D&D 5E (2014) best non-LMoP campaign for new players

    For campaign length (at least 5 levels-ish), hands down I'd recommend Hidden Halls of Hazakor. It's built for both new players and new DMs, making it super-simple to prep and to run, and for the players to feel like they are awesome. Of your listed considerations, Saltmarsh is by far the best...

    D&D 5E (2014) Experiences & mods running the D&D Stranger Things Hunt for the Thessalhydra Adventure?

    I vehemently disagree with this. I realize why the module is presented the way it was, and I both accept and enjoy that presentation. That doesn't mean we have to run it as-is, and in fact, I'd argue the purposely old school sensibility of the module's design takes into account how much DMs can...

    Hi folks! TL;DR - I'm running the Stranger Things starter set adventure Hunt for the Thessalhydra for Int'l Tabletop Day at my local comics & game shop, and I'm wondering what tips, tricks, and mods people employed. Slightly longer version - Here are some slightly more specific things I'm...
