Niiiiiice.

Eh, I ran into the "D&D is Satanic" attitude in '93/'94 and was ostracized from my church because of it (along with the rest of my family) so I never saw any positive effect from the removal of Demons and Devils. In my experience the kind of people who believed that BS would never be swayed by...

I use a Houserule (from the Feats of Heroism PDF from DM's Guild, a booklet which I make very good use of) where every character gets a bonus Feat at 1st, 10th, and 20th levels; this way every character gets to start out with a Feat, which I very much like to provide character customization...

I wish more people today would understand and emphasize this; it's gotten so bad lately it's like everyone is jumping up and down eagerly to define themselves by labels created by others and segment themselves into more and more fragmented warring tribes at each others' throats, sometimes over...

Every good and bad thing that exists in the real world also exists in our games; human nature isn't altered in the campaigns we run... that doesn't mean we dwell on most of it all that much, but we don't have any "taboos" on any subjects that we prohibit anyone mentioning. Murder, bigotry...

Believe it or not, the pun was fully intentional. ;)

Exactamundo! ;)

Pretty rad! :)

The link to the details page in the article says more info will be coming in 2020. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the 2D20 system. I just like Homeworld. :)

I've also slowed down on my videogame playing lately, but there are strill a few I enjoy, Homeworld 1 and 2 among them. Play it if you think you'd like an RTS in space, with fleet management, resource gathering, combat, and the like. Otherwise you could probably just watch videos on YouTube to...

The original videogames from 1999 and 2003 are 3D starfleet management/RTS games set to an epic space opera story of a race traveling through the stars trying to find their long lost mythical homeworld (with beautiful graphics and design, all set to gorgeous classical music.) Not having played...

Oh man, Homeworld and Homeworld 2 are my favorite videogames ever (tied with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.) This looks pretty cool.

I would have thought that it would still have had a major impact on how your character acted and interacted with the world. A Fighter with the Folk Hero Background would be a completely different kind of person than a Fighter with the Noble Background, regardless of whatever else happened in...

I love Backgrounds. Want to have a character who is a priest of some god but is a member of the Fighter class? Give him the Acolyte Background, and he's a priest, no Cleric class required. I have a character who is a Sorcerer-Priest of the God of Magic in my brother's homebrew setting, merely...

The Rune Knight is hardly being denigrating to Norse culture, and in any event the Norse are far from being a disadvantaged minority culture that is being exploited by thoughtless and insensitive outsiders by having Norse words used as magical elements in an RPG. I am sure plenty of the writers...

Oh yeah I know, I'm just talking about how I would use the Rune Knight in my own personal homebrew setting of Alterra. :)

I love the Rune Knight. Rather than having this Runic Magic as being developed by giants, I would instead have it as a type of Dwarven magic used by a special Order of Dwarven Knights trained to use this magic to fight giants. The other two just seem overly weird to me.

These articles are wonderful, and really make me wistful for a contemporary physical Dragon magazine. Internet articles and .PDFs are all well and good, and I would never want them to go away, but nothing can beat having a physical hardcopy to read through at my leisure and consult during a...

I am utterly unable to come up with monster stats, but that thing looks terrifying; I'd love to see what people come up with for a towering monstrosity like that! (I personally would love some stats for Pumpkinhead!)

I like! I had a mothman as a recurring element in a Pathfinder campaign I ran about 6 years ago; whenever the PCs would camp in the wilderness, whoever was on watch would sometimes see one at random times out of the corner of their eye, and once the whole party saw one standing on a hill above...
