    Looking for a more narrative, less combat-centric alternative to D&D

    Blue Rose AGE seems a good fit from what you say in the OP. «This section I noticed also features in other Green Ronin AGE books. It asks the questions "What do you do?" and "Who are you?" The focus of this game then is character dynamics. It is not "The party of adventurers set out to destroy...

    D&D 5E (2014) Brainstorm - stories to tell with WotC's new position on various folk (fka "race")

    Heard of it, never read it or played. My inspiration was Shadow of the Demon Lord. Like the idea but didn't want to learn a new set of rules.

    D&D 5E (2014) Brainstorm - stories to tell with WotC's new position on various folk (fka "race")

    Humans only for PCs in my current campaign which started in May 2019. Elves, dwarves, halflings (and other 5e PHB) races don't even exist in my world. Also, no orcs, goblins or any «evil» sentient humanoids that feel too LOTR or derivatives. 90% of enemies have been humans with ill intentions...

    Atanakar's Miniature Gallery

    I no longer view this as a pile of shame, like I used to. I see as an opportunity to do zen hobby time away from the real world.

    Ripple Effect of D&D's Statement on the Rest of the RPG Industry?

    You need to add Body Snatchers and Zombie survival games to that list. The body snatcher's mind control and infected zombie's mindless behaviours have represented many unconscious fears of the occident over the years. The immigrants, the communists and more lately anonymous religious fervour.

    D&D General 5 Color Alignment

    As much as I like conceptual diagrams, like this one and the alignments, I do not view them as a good way to explain humanity. It's too simplistic and rigid. I prefer behavioural keywords as presented in BareBones Fantasy, which is inspired by Pendragon (Chaosium). They are much more useful for...

    What do other games use in place of 'race'?

    Heritage is mentioned in Fantasy AGE. Mixed heritage is also used.

    D&D 5E (2014) Decoupling ancestry and culture

    Fantasy AGE uses random Race Benefits tables to make each individual somewhat different. You roll 2d6 twice on a table and get the results. They have one table for each race. For mixed heritage you roll once on each table. Some benefits are extra skill proficiencies, +1 to an attribute or a...

    A TTRPG Like a Classic Dungeon Crawling Boardgame?

    Barebones Fantasy, despite the lack lustre name, is a very complete RPG. It has an adventure generation system with random tables and a default Kingdom to explore. It can be easily played solo. I own it and was pleased with what I read...

    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    Considering how 5e is built, I wouldn't be surprised (and would be extremely happy) if an ability+race bonuses optional system was included in the next Xanathar like book. No need to wait for 6E to play test this with the community. ;)

    D&D General [B/X] The Original Known World, before Mystara. A Secret History

    The internet is a wonderful place. Yesterday I found this 2015 article by Lawrence Schick, co-creator of the Original Known World with Tom Moldvay. I always thought The Known World was created for the Expert set. It was in fact Moldvay's and Schick's D&D home-brew world created well before they...

    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    I started playing in 1980 and I am happy D&D as evolved and changed for the better over time. It's a role-playing game after all. It makes sense that intelligent humanoids be less unidimensional as a group otherwise they are just zombies of various shapes and forms. When things a predictable...
