    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Most of my players are fairly slow with head maths; it's fine. I think a lot of folks who are hardcore gamers are unusually good at doing math in their head and so they assume that it's normal or there's something wrong with folks who are slower. One solution for Daggerheart could be to run it...

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    Pre-painted minis were a lot more affordable on the singles market until a few years ago, as long as you weren't chasing rare ones. However, a lot of those sources have dried up in recent years (Troll and Toad used to be my go-to), and those that have remained are much more expensive. In general...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    Ranger could be a rogue subclass, barbarian a fighter subclass, Druid a cleric subclass, and sorcerer a wizard subclass and the game would be better for it IMO. But, tradition.

    Our Physical Fitness

    My intercostal muscle injury is healed enough that my physio guy okayed me to start lifting a bit heavier this week. I’m very weak. Cest la vie.

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    They elected him. Sorry, but it’s true. All I can say is that two of my favourite miniatures companies are in the US, and it’s very hard for me to support any American company right now because it feels like rewarding a government that is openly hostile to my country even existing. So I am...

    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    Me too, so I asked ChatGPT for help: Tiamat’s Journal – Entry #987,904 Bahamut gets a statue and I get another mortal summoning with bad lighting. Ugh. Tuesday. Woke up in Avernus. Again. Honestly, I thought being imprisoned in the Nine Hells would have more flair by now. Same sulfur. Same...

    D&D General Dwarven Vikings

    Vikings were a specific cultural phenomenon - one that came from my ancestors, in fact (that photo is me on a dock in Denmark last summer, on my way to visit my family's home in Sweden). So to me it is weird to discuss dwarves being Vikings, kind of like discussing dwarves being Romans or...

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    Was Gygax a creative genius? If you look at his most impactful contributions, virtually all were iterations on work other people had started. Greyhawk, including (we now know, though he never admitted it) the pivotal Fantasy Supplement were iterations, often very close iterations, on work that...

    The Breakdown of Gen Con 2025 RPG events

    My best buddy and I had tickets to the con and the Critical Role live show booked, along with a great hotel, and we canceled all of it a few weeks ago. Sucks as it's been on our bucket list since we were thirteen, but as Canadians we just couldn't feel good about traveling to the US right now...

    The price of streaming vs out right owning

    Also, that’s not a sub. That’s an instalment plan. But yes, as OP demonstrates you do need to be sensible when buying subs, like anything else. If you are paying for a sub you barely use…maybe stop?

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Yeah, I gotta fix that. It's Bones 6, so Bones Black, I think, but you still get some bending if it is packed wrong.

    D&D 5E (2024) Suggested Wildshape tweak (houserule)

    Seems like a good suggestion. 2024 Circle of the Moon druids need a lot more help, but that little tweak can't hurt.

    eBook Prices - Is it just me…

    You're wrong. At least for budget, it's not remotely close. I have saved thousands of dollars. And that's without putting a price on storage, environmental costs, etc. Or let's look at music. I recently donated a collection of well over a thousand CDs. That's $20-30,000 in sunk costs. Whereas...

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    She owned both. If TSR made money, she made money. I think a lot of folks remain unclear on this point. She wasn't trying rip off herself.

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    Those are stamps not painted, but yeah, they look good. They're often not as perfectly lined up as that, so those are two of the better ones.

    Speking of Reaper, found time to do some more painting and did up the Kuo'Toa set from Bones6:

    D&D 5E (2024) Modest Ranger Fix

    Compare to the monk capstone: +4 to Wisdom and Dexterity each. So that's +2 to attack rolls, DCs, damage rolls, saving throws, and +4 AC (!!!). Whereas doubling hunter's mark is an extra +3.5 damage, on average, for a class that is already on the weak side of DPR. It's still not that great a...
