    Starfinder Review: We're No Heroes

    The top says the AP is called "Live Free or Die." Its proper title is "Fly Free or Die."

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Lawsuit Dismissed Without Prejudice

    Okay, I have decided that Dragonlance is going to be the next released setting with novel releases, and I refuse to believe otherwise. I mean this tongue-in-cheek, but it does make me excited that Dragonlance still might have some life in it!

    Savage Pathfinder Pathfinder Adventure Paths Are Coming To Savage Worlds!

    Who knows, though. Maybe 5e is next. My guess is that none of the staff wishes to work on converting APs to other systems so they will depend on 3rd parties. It may be just a matter of time before a 3rd party is willing to convert these APs to 5e and Paizo will give them a license to do so.

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC On Tasha, Race, Alignment: A Several-Year Plan

    I feel split on this. In my own games, I like having a diversity of races to roleplay with, without the straight jacket of racial alignment. That’s one reason I like Eberron. I also understand the parallels of racial descriptions (like “savage”) in both fantasy and real life and how such...

    Savage Pathfinder Pathfinder Adventure Paths Are Coming To Savage Worlds!

    My curiosity is piqued as I love the APs but dislike Pathfinder. Who has played Savage Worlds? What’s it like?

    D&D 5E (2014) Traits, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws

    I like the idea of having a subsystem that ties PCs to the setting and inspires players to treat their characters as characters rather than just a series of stats. But it feels that the system in place is a little weak. I may play around with asking players to describe the background or reason...

    D&D 5E (2014) Traits, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws

    I am curious about how or if groups use the personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws system in their game. I have some thoughts about them, but I wanted to hear from others before I share mine.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tasha: Now on D&D Beyond, Roll20, Fantasy Grounds

    I saw that. I was really hoping to play around with the new customization options. Hopefully it will be up soon.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tasha: Now on D&D Beyond, Roll20, Fantasy Grounds

    I love the book! I like how you can customize your character more and how it guides you to create your own races, your own particular style of any particular race, sidekicks, and Beast Master Companions. The stuff on race abilities has been needed for a long time. I like the flavor of the new...

    Critical Role Announces Publishing Company

    Wow. A lot of speculation here. The End of Wizards! The fall of D&D! So far they're planning to put out a card game and an RPG about magical-wielding gangsters. I enjoy speculation as much as the next guy, but this feels like a stretch. Maybe I'm wrong and someday Mercer will be President...

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    Kender as a drawback? I think not, sir! Dragonlance has many flaws. Chiefly among them being that the setting is so closely tied to the novels that it would be difficult to feel like you aren't side characters of a bigger story. The setting is also a bit...how do I put this...

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    Nope. WotC owns Dragonlance. Sovereign Press had a license with WotC to publish Dragonlance during the 3e period.

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    I don't agree that Dark Sun would require more than one book, and the idea that WotC doesn't own Dragonlance is factually wrong. And honestly, I don't care how "generic fantasy" a setting might be. If there's demand, then WotC will produce it.

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    I don't think the movie hurt the product line. People quickly forgot about it. It was more an opportunity squandered, just like the Airbender film was just...unfortunate. But we still got The Legend of Korra, and Avatar: The Last Airbender is more popular than ever. I bought a lot of the 3e...

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    I would say Dark Sun and Planescape will definitely happen. Past that, I'd say it's between Dragonlance or Greyhawk.

    Level Up (A5E) [+] What features should a "Advanced 5E" have?

    I don't necessarily need a "crunchier" game in terms of game mechanics. One thing I like about 5e is that I rarely have to look up advanced rules for things like grappling or whatever. However, I would like to see more meaningful character choices as characters level. In 5e, once characters...

    Worlds of Design: Medieval Travel & Scale

    Having hiked a mountain trail for several days with ~70 lbs. on my back, I can say that such travel is exhausting. And to then attempt a sword fight? Ridiculous. However, it’s a fantasy world with fantasy characters, so in the end, whatevs.

    WotC Older D&D Books on DMs Guild Now Have A Disclaimer

    This. So much of people's arguments seem to be either/or. Either we like old stuff or we hate it. Either we're for it or against it. Life is complex. You can love something, but also see its flaws. I'd like more people to come to these discussions with less defensiveness and more...
