    Probably having trouble getting the Daggerheart books, those are sold out everywhere!

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    Just to chime in, I would not consider Sanderson's world deep at all. The important parts can be learned at a glance. Not having read the rules, I'd suspect his magic systems work well in an RPG. And I am sure we will hear a lot more when people have their copies in their hands!

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Funny, I stumbled on trilemma yesterday. What I read so far seemed very good and varied and very to me. Skerples wrote one of the adventures that caught my eye, about a haunted house with a squatter problem. Will drop this in my city for sure, should be a hoot!

    Official News Full List of Heroic Companions

    I think the art just sold me on this one. Thi bird strider thing, the undead buttler, and the ooze or snail that looks like an alchemists mishap are just so damn evocative.

    D&D General How Do I Help Mentor a GM Making Rookie Mistakes?

    Just say 'I am having a hard time with unexpected rule changes.', either before, after or between sessions. I don't think it needs to be more complicated than that.

    D&D General My experience with paid D&D tools after 3+ years as a DM/Player

    Yes, I am very sure that's the one. Awesome piece of software, very easy to use, if you don't overcomplicate it from the start.

    Good solo games

    I have started playing Lichdom a few months back, and have been enjoying it. The journal that I am getting out of it will be neat background lore for my current 5e table. Working title is 'ramblings of a mad man'.

    Looking for a properly bleak game for a paper.

    Have you played the Black Sword Hack? I am thinking about getting it because I have heard good things about it, but admittedly do not know much about it yet.

    Optimization and optimizers...

    What I want to point out is that nobody mentioned an actual problem at the table, but is only arguing semantics. I don't see any good coming from this for anyone.

    Optimization and optimizers...

    What's the point of the thread? Do you need advice with a problem at the table?

    I just backed it, hardcover and the cards. Let's see if it will see use at my table.

    Wow, the art is on point on that one. Heard good things about this zine, might get it if you are able to get the back issues in this KS.

    I absolutely get that, though.

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    Absolutely, and the actions of GG are on a completely different point on the badness scale, but most people pretty much need computers, smartphones, energy and the like. Still, a lot of people are willing to spend more to get these things from a more ethical source. GG offers a RPG product...

    D&D General How to DM, best resource

    Well, the book starts with a simple adventure and teaches how to run it. It continues with the basics of running dungeons, and after that provides several tools for more specialized adventure types. You don't need to read the book front to back. In fact, i think it is specifically designed to be...

    D&D General How to DM, best resource

    Absolutely! Those are awesome and a solid way to get someone to start dming. I recommended the first 5 videos to two people, and both had their first session shortly after. So You Want to Be a Game Master is the single best book that includes everything you need, imho. I wish I had it when I...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    Can't say I disagree with any of this, but the point still stands that there must be a reason for JG to agree to the project, as they hold the license, as I understand it. I try really hard not to judge the character of a person I have never met, but I have a hard time imagining an altruistic...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    Sure, there are exceptions. But I do not think GG is a non-profit, and I doubt the main focus is education or healing. Maybe the TTRPG industry is not the best way to make money, but it is a way to do so for some. I guess my point is, I think neither GG nor JG started this project out of their...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    You do not have to pivot to the complete opposite market. It may be enough to shift a little bit, lose some of the old customers, and gain some new ones. Maybe you do not even need to gain new customers, if you do not have a current alternative that makes you the equivalent amount of money...
