I've seen a few people griping about the lack of Giant Space Hamster varieties in the new Spelljammer book. So here's a reminder that this book has been kicking around for a couple of years now. Giant Hamsters From Outer Space! (Spelljammer Campaign Expansion) - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon...

On the plus side, there's been a book dedicated to all the giant space hamster varieties available on DMSGuild for almost two years. Giant Hamsters From Outer Space! (Spelljammer Campaign Expansion) - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild

I ran games at Gen Con for the first time this year. I did it because a) I put in to run a module I was working on, never expecting they'd actually let/want me to actually run it, but they did, and b) I wanted playtest feedback from a group completely unknown to me, unlike the game I run at my...

No no no no no. While Goodman Games published stuff as "Dungeon Crawl Classics" since 3e or 3.5, the DCC RPG as an independent system arrived in 2012. What I meant was, I've been playing since 1993, and discovering the DCC RPG a few years ago blew my mind. In fact, I'd spent a couple years...

I think it's fair to say that 5e spoiled me on D&D. I was so excited by the playtest material, and so little of what I actually liked made it into the published version of the game. Luckily I happened across a copy of the Dungeon Crawl Classics core rulebook and was reborn.

DCC was the first game I ever read/played (since 1993!) that literally made my eyes pop. After over 25 years of gaming, I'd found my home.

I have yet to find a better alignment description and application than 3.x had. And in my games your actions determine your alignment, not the other way around, and those decisions and resulting alignments have real consequences So while you may feel it's unfair that your kitten-torturing...

Ran it at Gen Con.

Do I use the character class rules to make NPCs? Yes. Do I refer to those NPCs as Fighters, Clerics, etc.? No. I voted No. That being said, one thing I really enjoy is thinking of things from a commoner's perspective; average folks don't know the fine details of anyone's profession any more...

I ran a successful 5e campaign on that premise. No PC casters at all, though some enemies could use magic. The campaign/game lasted about a year and a half, meeting weekly, and fell apart when one player (out of the 3 I had) moved out of state. I still occasionally hear from the players about...

That's all true. And one of the major things that put me off Planescape back in the day was the shocking and overwhelming arrogance of its in-world presentation. The setting seemed unnecessary enough before busting in on the older settings and their lore like a locker room bully. I thought...

That's the impression that I get.

Good news: it has been! That line itself is a sample form the first episode of the '60s Batman TV show. So yeah, it all tracks, and it all works.

Even with the planejammer cop-out, I'm super excited for this one!

Not just a Kid on a Bike, but a Midwest Kid on a Bike. North Central Indiana, a city of roughly 60,000. And I lived downtown. Now I live in a condo complex, somewhere I moved specifically so that my now-8yo would have neighbor kids close enough to walk/bike to so they can have a similar experience.

Given the option between levying tribute to Jeff Bezos (ordering through Amazon) and waiting a few days for my local bookstore to get the book for me, I chose the latter. It was a rough wait, but the good news is I have some great reading just in time for the weekend!

I've literally backed Kickstarters and lost interest in the entire game system they were designed for before the product was delivered. So yes, I feel your pain.

I voted true, because while I rarely play 5e these days, I always start campaigns at level 1. Like others, I didn't the formative levels to be most interesting when characters are at their most vulnerable. I do feel that 5e's biggest shortcoming is having subclasses not kick in for a level or...
