For clarity , this isn't about marketing but social policy, From a market POV s assuming anyone else need to care about "others" is inaccurate they really don't as gaming has and tabletop RPG's will continue to do well as a somewhat conservative White Middle/working Class Heterosexual Cis...

Yep I believe so . He also wrote Mutants and Masterminds too. Blue Rose is a great game as is True 20 and while the AGE system used in Dragon age is different , more structured and less free form its still pretty good from what I can tell and this release will add one of my favorite magic...

I've read almost everything that inspired True 20 and liked most it which is amusing considering how Conservative my politics can be. I never found it hard to tweak it a bit and to make Aldis a bit more like Valdemaar which is nowhere near as fluffy bunny as some people think . Its a bit off...

Nice. I've games with all kinds myself and I tend to regard all good minded TTRPG gamers as part of my quasi tribe and race, creed, gender preference and such don't even come into consideration when to use one of Gary's (rip Gary, rest in play) favorite quotes " Alea iacta est" the die is...

Just my personal opinion but Hasbro probably doesn't see the kind of numbers in the tabletop model that it wants and sees D&D as "IP" to made into books, movies, board games, compute games and in other areas with much bigger margins, They still released the core books and will support with...

Warforged Warlock Mark One aka Mark in 3.5 , more robot than man. I rather imagine him say seeing his comrades fall whipping out a wand of something and saying an an excited monotone "Terminal condition not acceptable, stabilization protocol initiated." all the while also using his abilities...

That sounds reasonable but what would the apps actually do? WoW or predecessor Everquest (affectionately known as ever-crack in these parts) allowed people to do hack and slash D&D anywhere without other players or with them and without prep. Online tools are unlikely to provide the same...

Quite interesting. Thanks. I think its making some strange assumptions though, that D&D players are far more techie and heavily computer aided than they really are and that of course they can get the money they'd spend on steam to be spent on apps? We certainly have tablets and smartphones and...

I think its cool too though there is zero chance I'd buy one. I can't see any use for augmented reality and don't want to wear a bulky set of goggles. Also a lot of table top gamers are young and not terribly well off, To use this they'yd need everyone in the group to be able to afford VR...

Our group has one of each book and a starter set. In the past we would have had more books but we rotate games fairly often and have only so much money and while everyone enjoyed 5e its not a priority game for most of us, We all have the free basic PDF of course. We really have little...

I'm not big on firm rules for really powerful magic item creation. I figure if you get to that point you need the right power ingredients (I don't use XP for item creation) the right feat and possibly a place of power and can make things I think are cool from my list I do allow 4th level...

Great article . For what its worth, low pay is endemic is almost every creative industry. And in fact many other unrelated industries are suffering from lowered wages as well . Wages are down by about half in the US since the 1970's . Fixes, causes and all that are way off topic here but its...

I've been mostly messing about with P6 Pathfinder of late though I've considered moving to element of E6 as its simpler and slightly better balanced. I also like some of the supplemental D20 material with backgrounds and such from Thieves Worlds which allow skill and background tweaking. One...

If WOTC decides to focus on adventures for pay and the splat content for free, while its a benefit to my budget ,doesn't seem like a smart business decision. They can't really bury it in the book either and hope it spurs sales if that was a plan. Its pretty easy to scan and format a few bits...

Assuming 80% purity and 50 coins to the pound, 1 copper piece is worth about 3 and a half cents US A silver piece at the same weight and purity is about $4.25 A gold piece is around $250 at the same specs This is exclusive of brokerage fees or taxes.

Very impressive, interesting content , well formatted with a nice PDF with credits to boot. Well done and have some XP.

Light mace seems fitting.

I use the 3.0 jumping rules in my games since they give better results. Does this count ?

I can't support any kickstarters right now but I can wish you success. This kind of thing makes a great resource for us E6 Low Magic players. Also Everyone Else by EN Publishing was one of my favorite supplements . I just like this kind of thing I guess.

B/X has the same conundrum. After about 2 or 3rd level PC's have all the gear they'll want If the players are vagabonds or the like, they squander it in classic sword and sorcery style, Or just buy fantasy bling bling Optionally in some games, magic items can be bought or upgraded If the...
