I haven't generally been a fan of most of the alternate covers but this one is actually quite good.

It might be because they can shape-shift into a bat or into mist as a bonus action? But it would give Vampires a needed level of utility if they could disengage as a bonus action. As a DM I might just let them do it anyway. 😈

I have to honestly say after purchasing multiple OAR titles from Goodman Games, I have no intention of spending any more money on them. I feel as through they fail to meet their promise. In particular, I was super disappointed to read in The Temple of Elemental Evil (which, on its cover...

After many, many years of attending the cons I began to find them tedious, repetitive, and increasingly expensive. So, like everyone else, I stopped going when COVID hit and I just never found the motivation to continue. But THIS is the kind of thing I'd like to travel for and spend my...

I'm assuming (and hoping) that was written satirically.

Okay that statement absolutely has my attention. What is the starship combat like? I remember FASA Trek ship battles as really feeling like capital ships of the line were going at it. There were even paper station panels with cardboard chits to mark the status of the panel. So the player playing...

100% this. FASA did it right 30 years ago. It was the best Star Trek RPG that I've been exposed to. Admittedly, I haven't bothered getting into the Modiphius stuff so I have no idea what I'm missing there. But FASA Trek handled everything from planet-side ground adventures to roleplaying to...

The pre-order is available on Amazon.

Jim Ward held that position. Ooops accidental double post.

I don't live near a FLGS so I rely on the internet for ordering physical gaming products. I have ordered physical products three times from Wizards of the Coast and in all three cases there was a significant of problem of some kind. Although they eventually got around to fixing each problem...

I run two different D&D 5e games and have been DMing for mumble*mumble years. I remember in 1st edition if you fired a missile weapon into a melee cluster the DM would randomly roll to determine who in the cluster was potentially hit. Today, I don't follow that approach, although I do...

Honestly, this is just meh for me. It looks like a bunch of evil dudes at a family reunion posing for a pic. But really they just want to get back to the beer and bratwurst, so dammit gramma figure out how to use your phone and take the picture already.

I agree there is not nearly as much communication with Edge as there was with FFG, but they are still active. They just released a brand new Genesys Twilight Imperium title this month, in fact: War for the Throne.

I wonder if there will be detailed ship combat rules. If my poor memory serves, ENWorld Publishing did a sci-fi segment of W.O.I.N. that was reminiscent of the amazing FASA Starship Combat Simulator.

In my opinion, this is perfect. Too often companies try to milk something for all its worth and end up leaving on a sour note (can anyone say Arkham series?). BG3 is an amazing game and an incredible technical accomplishment. I applaud Larian for ending on a high note and letting the game live...

When someone passes it is an opportunity to celebrate their life, perhaps in the way that you might hope your life gets celebrated when your time comes. Life is difficult, and we make many turns and choices as we navigate it, some for better and some for worse. There is no point in dwelling on...

Working for Jim when he was the Director of Creative Services at TSR was my first job when I got out of the Navy and was very young, about a thousand years ago. I was never more than a bit player in the gaming industry and didn't stay in it for very long, but Jim always made me feel welcome and...

This is meaningful, legit journalism and a very professional article. The gaming industry needs more fearless reporting like this.

I was reading the D&D Beyond article "The 10 Best Spells for the 2014 Paladin" this morning. As a player who has long favored paladins, I dove into the article with gusto. And now it has left me wondering if paladins are really that great of a choice from a purely game mechanics perspective if...
