It's really cool! And it's getting way more common in the last decade than it was when I started playing in the early 2000s. I hope Riggs is right in when he says the hobby is getting a broader and more diverse public, because that's how the hobby will stay relevant. Even if I still buy D&D...

My view is this is the "suspicious" interpretation. Going out of their way to say "we don't care if we offended you" is weird and can set the tone of how people read it. In a vacuum I would say it's mild, but it's not the only time we saw EGG saying that kind of stuff, or worse. Edit: And I...

Re: Tiamat and the gygaxian female villains: As it has been said a few times on this discussion, I don't think it's a problem per se, but I think the accompanying comment about Women's Lib make it very suspicious, at least. But in my personal experience as a woman and a dungeon master, the...

The "primary source" Ryoko Kui used for the manga is Wizardry, which is surprisingly similar to AD&D. I'm musing about writing some quick rules on Dungeon Meshi OSE Advanced. It would be mostly replacing "XP for gold" with "XP for being healthy" following these three rules: 1. get proper...

As a woman I had a similar experiences trying to play D&D in the early 2000s. Even if the bad rep isn't as strong as it was back then I still hear a lot of awful stories, and I still have a rough time talking about the hobby with other woman because the awful stories they heard.

I'm planning to adopt 2024 edition, but not as an early adopter. I'll wait until they drop the the first additional source book, when the community already know what to expect and how to round the edges. I'm not starting any more campaigns in 2014 edition, but I'll wait until the active ones end...

I'm glad the seeds of my blasphemy bought us another of your great Grayhawk posts! They're part of the reason why I'm excited about the Grayhawk reboot.

This post is a simple question: what's the effect of downplaying gods in Greyhawk, or even replacing the whole pantheon with something else? I know that they are a late addition, so maybe it's not a big deal. As a grey box person I always felt Greyhawk gods were a bit too "gonzo" for my taste...

While I can't compare it with Darlene's because her map is my inspiration on "how to draw maps" since I started playing and I would be biased because of it, this new map is my favourite large scale Schley's map yet, I love how he drew all these mountains and cliffs.

That's better than the notes I had!

Most seasons have some good adventures and some almost unplayable ones. My favourite as a DM is Storm King's Thunder: most adventures are fun without needing adjustments, and the Parnast bunch make a solid campaign when played together (I haven't played the other tiers). I doesn't remember the...

I like it, but I hope additional classes for the cleric and the wizard are released soon. Both are so attached to the concepts of domains and schools of magic that it's weird creating a cleric of Mystra, for example, and having to fit it in some of these four domains.

I'm not that familiar with old Darlene's map. How much have changed?

And in the present.

Dreadful name, but I get where they're going with it. Also, I think the Dreadwolf will not be the only antagonist, maybe not even the "main one" by the end of the game.

I think it's the exactly opposite, the DMG has the best alternate and the worst standard, while the MM is the best standard and the worst alternate. Taste is funny. I'm also going with the alts.

I really wish it was Tiamat, which monster is better for a Dungeons & Dragons cover than the biggest evil dragon of them all?

7e font was way better than 8e!

MM is incredible! It's dynamic, have iconic characters of new and old and a great assortment of iconic monsters. It's otherwordly and full of action, everything a monster manual cover should be
