    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    Our definition of gutting seems different. When I say gutting, it's not about numbers. I consider the creative skills of those fired, the effect on company memory (the idea of knowing where the moving parts are, and how they work), morale, and even external confidence in the idea they are not...

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    Also, wait... Something occurred to me... Did they just gut the only profitable part of their company? Is this suicide by cannibalism?

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    I'm torn. This general behavior is why I want Hasbro/WotC to implode, but I don't want the creatives and staff to suffer. It's turning into a bloody video-game company in mindset. In a perfect world, Staff gets parceled out into the general RPG development industry, and then WotC implodes...

    Worlds of Design: Artifacts of Cosmic Power

    True, also… World ending is a strange term. The world is a matter of perspective. A family might consider a thier household being ruined as world ending. Star Trek has multiple worlds ending each week.

    Worlds of Design: Artifacts of Cosmic Power

    All of this is true, but ignores the fact about the end of the world: it’s almost never a total end. It’s just a part of the cycle where empires rise and fall. Rifts is a great/terrible example. World ended, and every monster showed up to party. World was ruined, nearly everybody died, and… the...

    Peregrine's Nest: Using the Canon

    We did the same thing, with the characters finding themselves the the dark forest with the forest guardian unicorn, and him choosing the kender as the first archedruid in hundreds of years. They kept fighting a halfogre named ho’rogeth that they kept literally tripping over, who was enacting the...

    Player Core and Gamemaster Core Remastered Review

    I mean, then don't use it. We go old school: you can only get knocked to 0 hp, unless the attack is for over half the characters total hp. Then they save or die. After that, they bleed 1hp per turn until -10, and go poof.

    Player Core and Gamemaster Core Remastered Review

    Honestly, I always thought clerics should use charisma, and paladins wisdom. Clerics are the face of the church, and paladins the sword. Makes more sense.

    Player Core and Gamemaster Core Remastered Review

    Keep in mind, the rework was planned, but got focused on as a matter of self defense. Let us not forget January, and the utter cluster chaos that brought. I personally bought this the moment it hit a store. Just waiting for it now. And now for the obligatory complaint: Really? Witch before...

    RPG Evolution: Wait, Are We Still Role-Playing?

    It's just the evolution of something that's been happening for years. Back in the day, I was publishing during the d20 3e days. Did it for two years. Then made more in a month than in Second Life creating custom simulators for clients in a month than those two years combined. Part of that was...

    Kobold Press Releases Black Flag Reference Document

    I just find it funny they renamed it Tales of the Valiant, but people seem to like the temp name better. ... Well, I liked Black Flag better.

    Kobold Press Releases Black Flag Reference Document

    Well, it makes a really good baseline. Considering that it offers up to level 5 for testing. not that it needs a lot of testing. It basically 5e with the serial numbers filed off. Which is what people wanted.

    Sneak Peek of D&D's The Deck of Many Things

    Considering how much WotC is trying to avoid real-world connections like that, it does not surprise me. I’m not judging the fact they’re doing it, just that I’m betting it’s for similar reasons. It looks good, but can it compete with the dec’ of many things or fates, for the tarot deck from… I...

    RPG Evolution: Guilty?

    And depending on how truth works in your campaign, can lead to some utter delusional psychopaths being untouchable. Just like today!

    Pathfinder 2E Wizard Changes in Pathfinder 2e Remaster

    Modern? Presto from the 80s D&D cartoon never used components. He just used the hat as a focus.

    Pathfinder 2E Wizard Changes in Pathfinder 2e Remaster

    Yes. Couple of months for the first two. Player's guide and... Monster manual? Maybe? I forget. DM guide and a second player's guide will come next year.

    Pathfinder 2E Wizard Changes in Pathfinder 2e Remaster

    I had to reread the title a few times to be sure what it was about. Considering the… history… we've underwent this year, perhaps it could be phrased… Pathfinder 2e Remaster Changes Wizard Class I'm just saying? Nearly gave me a pre-coffee heart-attack.

    Interview with Aaron Shanks, Paizo's Director of Marketing

    "Mirror Image" is an illusion too. Still does not mean you can FIND that limited spectrum of feats you have if the list is too large. Signal to noise is a ratio, and it should like it applies?
