    Looking forward to this book! I assume, the digital version will be up on DriveThru?

    Can You Go Home Again? +

    I tend to agree. I certainly tried, but already when reading the old rule books again it became clear to me that the light-hearted spirit of a bunch of 20 somethings with a lot of time on their hand just figuring out the rules on the go could not be recovered. And that is before taking into...

    Do you have a default TTRPG gaming mode?

    I‘m sure you noticed the „typically“, so how about being a bit less confrontational? Yes, I am aware that Alien is quite deadly. But Forbidden Lands is already less deadly once your characters get solid gear. And more generally, creating large buckets requires a bit of generalisation. So if you...

    Do you have a default TTRPG gaming mode?

    I think I have two default modes: modern trad and OSR. Characteristics of modern trad would be: GM controls the world, players control their characters; however players can contribute to world building either through the lens of their characters background (e.g. recounting stories from their...

    D&D General Druid vs. Paladin - March Madness 2024 - Final Round!

    My personal favourites (Wizard, Cleric, Fighter) are out already, so I don't really care strongly enough about either of the choices. That being said, I don't think I have ever played a Druid in D&D, but at least once I played a (delightfully "lawful annoying") Paladin, so my vote goes to the...

    ICv2 Reports Disappointing Year For Hobby Games Channel: TTRPGs Down, D&D Declines 30%

    Well it did plummet, but you are right, it was also far from dead. Might be a similar case here. And I also agree that we would need at least some indication on Amazon sales data and digital sales on D&D Beyond to get the full picture (with 40+, I'm not sure if I qualify as "next generation"...

    D&D General March Madness 2024 - Round 5 - Casters Semi-Final

    Damn, missed the deadline. I guess in this case, a wizard was actually late.

    D&D General Should D&D feature fearsome critters and other Americana?

    Yes, clothing would be a bit different, non-combat technology probably too (but given that D&D is often already more Renaissance than Middle Ages, that might not matter too much). Combat technology-wise there would probably more muskets and less longbows, and you wouldn't enter the classical...

    D&D General Should D&D feature fearsome critters and other Americana?

    I think my personal image of D&D is, at this point, pretty heavily tied to the faux medieval/early Renaissance style and the eclectic collection of beasts derived from both European mythology and Japanese toys. So I think I would probably bounce off newly added creatures with an American...
