    D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

    I'm not a fan of these super rich people, but I did like the Bill Gates version a bit more. I dread a Elon version of D&D. Oh my. I hope the folks a D&D don't bet against Elon and just hurry up with the SRD/CC plans. And please also open up 4e. Oh my....

    The 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide is Chris Perkins' Last Book as Product Lead

    Congrats to Chris. I really like a lot of what he has worked on. Some of the adventures he did back in 3.5 was amazing. And of course CoS is top notch. I remember before Covid hit it was planned that he should DM a new actual play podcast as a replacement for DCA!. Unfortunately that got pushed...

    D&D 3.x The 4E We Didnt Get.

    IMO of all the things "wrong" with 3.5, PF1 fixed like none of those. Sure the condensed skill list is fine, but that really wasn't a problem with 3.5. Nobody felt the game was broken because there was both a Listen and Spot skill. Sure fine, grappling is easier, but it's really not that...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    Just anecdotal but when I bought it at my FLGS I asked how it was doing, and they said it was "flying off the shelf". They had a big pile of it, so I imagine they ordered a lot. Oh and mine was printed i Belgium which I found interesting. I though they would all be printed in China 🤷‍♂️ I'm...

    How Dragonbane Pointed out the Clashing Desires of My Gaming Group

    Or if you want something different there’s Dungeon Fantasy (powered by GURPS). It’s a 3d8 bell curve system so you succeed a lot and it’s hugely tactical (stuff like facing matters).

    How Dragonbane Pointed out the Clashing Desires of My Gaming Group

    Oh Retreater your post mortem threads are amazing. I always cross my fingers and hope you and your friends have found THE system. Anyway it’s obvious they want 3e with Nine Swords. But perhaps even 5e might do it (even if that makes you gasp).

    WotC How new Wizards of the Coast head John Hight turned around World of Warcraft

    God yes - I would love a bit more "craziness" from WotC.

    D&D General The Resurrection of Mike Mearls Games.

    I loved your post on the design of the Ranger class and the issues it has suffered from since 2e.

    D&D General The Resurrection of Mike Mearls Games.

    Anybody read the sorcerer spell post? Seems intriguing and I’m considering upgrading. Mike please do a “5e the Mearls Edition” 😀😀

    Pathfinder 2E I think I am giving up on PF2ER

    That is actually a really great idea! If I still played PF2 I would steal that house rule.

    Pathfinder 2E Never give up on PF2

    In 5e I can: Move - attack - move - bonus action, and still use shield. In PF2 that would be 5 actions. Movement is so much more flexible in 5e.

    Pathfinder 2E I think I am giving up on PF2ER

    Kind of strange that PF1 CRB is at spot 38 in Top 100 Pathfinder books: https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/books/7586186011/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_books

    D&D General Gen X D&D

    I absolutely love this 💯. And I absolutely love my generation. For me it’s somewhere between AD&D 2e and Vampire. I don’t think I understood most of it. But we didn’t care and just had fun while our parents were smoking cigarettes and watching MASH reruns. I loved that time - obviously...

    D&D General GenCon TV: Celebrating D&D

    God damn. I was looking forward to this so much. Last week both Monte Cook and Jonathan Tweet had so much interesting to say about 3e so I hoped Andy and Rob had the opportunity as well. I mean that’s why I tuned in.

    AD&D 2E On AD&D 2E

    Totally. I think they will appreciate that actually.

    AD&D 2E On AD&D 2E

    Yeah I think they will like the magic items. They seem more cool and special in some way.

    AD&D 2E On AD&D 2E

    I would love DMing a 2e campaign for my PF1 group, but I fear they will miss all the level up stuff. Although 2e has proficiencies there are far less customization.

    WotC WotC can, and probably should support multiple editions of D&D.

    Exactly. Also if you're using Fantasy Grounds, there's a ton of material on there as well: D&D Classics
