    Looking for tips on FLGS & Gaming in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

    Local here (didn't know Jim Lowder still lived in the area--cool!). Welcome to Milwaukee. It's got its problems like a city of any decent size does, but there's lots of good people and things to enjoy here. FLGS: I'm honestly not very impressed with most of our local game stores (which seems...

    DDAL D&D Adventurers League Service Rewards

    It's pretty standard organized play stuff.

    The only thing that could make the sequel more depressing.

    WotC Updates D&D's AI Policy After YouTuber's False Accusations

    This makes me glad I pay so little attention to that corner of our hobby. Glad to hear the good news about Ossandon. I think it's a really striking piece and a good choice for them to use to preview the 2024 edition.

    Kickstarter [KICKSTARTER] A Gary Gygax Documentary

    I'm not at all knocking the budget limitations. I'm all for indie fillmmakers going for it with the resources they have available (remind me to tell you about the low-budget horror movie my friends and I made NO WAIT DON'T). I was definitely aware of the production limitations here, but it's...

    Kickstarter [KICKSTARTER] A Gary Gygax Documentary

    Caught a screening of this at Gamehole Con a couple of months ago (Kilbane's been showing it around at cons, at least in this region). Obviously made on a shoestring, as these things tend to go, but clearly a passion project. Nice Q&A afterwards with interviewees who were in attendance chiming...

    D&D General Dragon Talk?

    I was wondering this, too; there was already that long delay around the OGL debacle, and now it's been a few months again. I hope they come back, maybe with a refresh; it's been pretty formulaic for a while now, and one can only hear so many interviews with "influencers" pushing their...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    As someone who works on the campus of a small private university, I can assure you EVERY COLLEGE has plenty of those. At any rate, allow me to join those backing this idea. I can say from direct experience that UW-Milwaukee and -Madison archives are more than qualified to house this stuff (as...

    Invisible Sun: Return of the Black Cube

    I was really intrigued by the concept of this the first time around, but couldn't justify the price of the Kickstarter. A lot of the supplements are easy to find cheap online, but not the box. Have any of you played this? Did you find it worth the investment?

    D&D General Adventure Titles

    Cheating a bit using an OSR game here, but Dungeon Crawl Classics has a lot of highly evocative adventure titles that are very much indicative of what you're getting with the game, in terms of both mood and content; with titles like Imprisoned in the God-Skull and Moon-Slaves of the Cannibal...

    D&D 5E (2014) Deck of Many Things Release Delayed

    Polygon got ahold of executive producer Kyle Brink and got his perspective on the recall/postponement, which yields the notable pull quote "I cannot, in good conscience, ship this stock." I can wait; this release cycle has been pretty tight for me anyway.

    D&D 5E (2014) OAR #8

    Yup! I'll be in Madison, WI this weekend for Gamehole Con (I'm semi-local anyway) and I fully intend to stop by their physical store and pick up the ones I'm missing that are still in stock (though, yes, their shipping is usually very good).

    Planescape The Pen & Ink Drawings of Tony DiTerlizzi up for signed preorder.

    Eye of the Beholder: The Art of Dungeons & Dragons, presently available on Amazon Prime (er, or rather, "Free with ads" via Freevee). I backed the Kickstarter and was pleased with how it turned out.

    D&D 5E (2014) OAR #8

    This has been my major issue (well, one of) with Amazon for a long time. As someone who buys a lot of pretty delicate things, including large, expensive hardcover books, the price is often not worth the gamble of subpar packing and shipping.

    D&D General Is DnD being mothballed?

    Mostly this, I think. Even publishers and commentators I like and respect have been pretty clearly burned by the OGL debacle; lots of their comments on YouTube and Twitch as they try to transition away from the OGL have strong "My ex wasn't that hot anyway" energy.

    D&D General Is DnD being mothballed?

    If it makes you feel any better, I definitely say "Let's get some ale!" all the time in real life.

    RPG Sales of 2023

    How exactly does this work if you have products on the DTRPG sites? Do you have to submit for consideration? Are you invited to participate? Do they look for a keyword for inclusion?
