    Pathfinder 2E Paizo Announces Pathfinder 2nd Edition!

    It's at turns hilarious and disgusting. So far it breaks down into: 1.) people who just need to read the FAQ, 2.) people threatening to walk if 2e core doesn't include some form of their own pet rule/class/race/preference, 3.) people hugely SHOCKED that this inevitable thing is happening and...

    So is the ship mini a clue to the next big adventure release? Pirate themed, maybe?

    Why Didn't Harry Potter Change the Game?

    This is also, supposedly, why Rowling has never approved any comic book licensing (outside of a one-page illustration for a charity book).

    News Digest: D&D Comics from IDW, DM's Guild Changes, Kingkiller Gets a Director, GAMA's New Retaile

    The similarity IMMEDIATELY jumped out at me, too! And it arose from similar circumstances of bad publicity and hasty self-censorship--and both ultimately wound up by the wayside.

    December Storytellers Vault Roundup

    Great idea for a spotlight column! I think the proliferation of these officially sanctioned fan-content sites for game lines is a fascinating development, and I'm interested to see how this model mutates as the industry adapts and reimplements.

    Two Days Left To Vote For Most Anticipated RPG of 2018!

    Based on the nomination thread, I would have put money on Warhammer (which I'm not familiar with, so did not vote for it).

    Taking Nominees for Most Anticipated RPG of 2018

    Looking at my outstanding Kickstarters, the ones that jump out are Sigil & Sign and the already-mentioned Torg: Eternity and Top Secret: NWO. Maybe do this same thing, but for supplements? It would be an eclectic list for sure...

    Basic Fantasy Role-Playing: An Entertaining Game With One Of The Most Robust Communities You'll Find

    it doesn't feature the works of creators who spend their copious free time being edgy online. ? What is this in reference to?

    Starfinder Paizo And Dynamite Entertainment Host Pathfinder Livestream With Pathfinder And Starfinder Adventure

    Recently got on board the PF comics train; Dynamite does a much better job with the license than IDW has been doing with D&D, which has dropped off precipitously since the excellent run by John Rogers years ago. I prefer the straight-Golarion stories, but Worldscape was a fun diversion.

    I Spoke To Frank Mentzer About His Empyrea Setting For 10 RPG Systems!

    Years and years ago, a buddy of mine made a documentary about RPGs. When he interviewed Gary Gygax, my friend asked him to introduce himself to the camera. Gygax said, "I'm Gary Gygax, and I'm a gamer," and half-smiled. He'd probably used that line a thousand times, but I thought it was just...

    #RPGaDAY Day 29: What has been the best-run Kickstarter you have backed?

    Shockingly few have ever been run well for me; either they wind up late (95% of the time), the shipping costs turn out to be outrageous, or the books get battered in transit. I'll echo those who have said JWP and Monte Cook, and I'll add Onyx Path (...eventually, and provided you take even their...

    New Releases In Stores This Week : 31st July 2017

    As someone who backed the Kickstarter for Lobotomy and has yet to receive it, it's a little concerning to see it listed for general sale. Hmm, off to the KS comments I go...

    Generating Better Character Names

    I had a GM for an old Star Wars campaign who would use the names of NHL players for NPCs. Names like "Teemu Selanne" fit right in.

    News Digest: Gen Con 50 (kinda) Sells Out! ENnie Award Voting! Star Trek Adventures! Massive Copyrig

    Eh, Onyx Path builds in a lot of "Life Happens" contingencies into their projects, particularly with freelancers and/or people with normal full-time jobs involved, so at this point I just kind of assume that digit at the end of the "Estimated Delivery" date is going to change. By "learned from...

    New Dragon+ (issue 12): The Inspiration Issue

    Having two different articles about the cat person on the cover (three, actually, if you're counting the editor's letter) is a little strange.
