I don't mind games with "tactical depth," but they're not enough to hold my attention for a year. It's the same reason I don't listen to only Rush. Playing the same character in PF2, going from scene to scene has basically been listening to "Tom Sawyer" on repeat. We have roleplaying, sure...

I'll admit it: I'm a bad player. Too many years of being a "Forever GM" has made me accustomed to playing multiple characters, controlling the pace of the game, shaping the story when necessary, adding complications, etc. As a player, I don't have enough to do, and my interest wanes. Also, we're...

George Foreman has passed away. https://www.tmz.com/2025/03/21/george-foreman-dead/?adid=social-fb&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0yfE-SSittasK-xLdzQ_suX3uyYd7GMLeD8rk6IjGqD9U5OwfwgnvYW6U_aem_Kp7_JpmtGYC8nLTS_o7CCw

Wow. I came in here expecting to see "WotC quietly scrapped this project." Good for them that this got finished. I mean, I haven't heard anything about it, but I guess there's some people getting it.

Almost afraid to ask, but are the 5e compatible products also compatible with A5E?

After reading the article (from EnWorld) more closely, it seems the $1bn includes video game projects too, so I'll edit it to "a large amount" in my post. I think the points are reasonable because they largely demonstrate a lack of focus. For example, if your market studies show that most...

Right. And the number that could afford to buy and shutter a film studio at a $3.5 billion loss. And the number that would try to revoke their game license and then revise it and then backtrack. And the number that would start development on a VTT and lose around $1 billion. Edit: a large...

True. But it seems to be unique to Hasbro in the TTRPG space.

Hasbro just loves to waste money by starting with a bold vision under one executive and having the next one scrap it. Look at eOne and the D&D streaming channel with original content. They are throwing stuff at the wall and seeing if anything sticks. Nothing has so far.

I hope everyone will continue to enjoy their exclusive Project Sigil dragon miniatures for preordering the deluxe DND Beyond Core Rules sets.

Likely they realized that DND Beyond was a better return on investment and will let Sigil evaporate into the Gleemax realm.

I know the answers. The theft was intended to kick off the adventure and get the party involved with tracking down the group that stole it. And what the artifact is provides some information about the cult involved. And I guess the stuff about the artifact is interesting, but I think they're...

I'm not including deliberate red herrings. I am answering questions they give, but they're not relevant. For example, the artifact was stolen from the museum - and they know who took it. Them: "What is the history of the artifact? Where was it found before going to the museum? Can you tell us...

This is a problem I've had over the past 30 years I've been GMing, especially when I'm running a homebrew adventure that has mystery elements. The party goes to interview someone or research a topic. You don't want to just say "no - they refuse to talk to you" or "no - you can't find any...

I think the 5E one from the Eberron book. We had a lot of back and forth between A5E and Eberron, so it's a little jumbled in my head. I am planning to use @Steampunkette's Psionic Power on my end at some point. (When I got first got it, I didn't know if I would ever start a new 5E campaign.)

I might have an answer, as someone who was unimpressed by Shadowdark for the last year, who wondered the whole time "What's the big deal when this is basically OSE, Labyrinth Lord, Castles & Crusades, Swords & Wizardry, etc, with a torch timer gimmick?" "Why did this one game matter when it's...

Last outright cancellation was due to me having COVID last month. I'm postponing an hour tonight because of a rescheduled work meeting.

Thanks for all the research, @darjr .

I got cold feet after baking the $300 premium set - since I've not played it yet and don't have a group currently to play it. I cancelled that pledge and was about to go in at a lower tier that's more financially responsible (PDFs of everything and the print core book.) When I did this I keep...

As someone who has never played Shadowdark, only read the free Starter Set PDFs, and only watched one liveplay, I think I'm speaking from a place of great knowledge. ;) Unless I misread the rule, I don't like everything being on turns all the time. Like rolling initiative for exploration and...
