    Starfinder Player Core Review

    Literally. I ain’t got time for another new game, but a full service sci-fi expansion for my existing PF2 game? Yes please! Damn smart move on Paizo’s part to make them fully compatible

    Sword World to Get Official English Translation

    Ninjas yes, but also don’t forget the kung-fu craze of the 70s, which also influenced D&D’s portrayal of Asian-ish stuff

    Renegade Announces Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG

    This is interesting. It sounds the there’s a decent amount of thematic overlap with XCC (the “dungeon crawling as televised sports” spin-off of DCC by Goodman Games).

    Phases of Growth in Game Design

    Trying your hand at rules/game design feels like a rite of passage in this hobby once we start GMing. Play long enough and eventually you’ll decide something would be better if… Of course, that’s not even Step 1, that’s just how you decide to start thinking about making your own game, lol.

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    I hear what you’re saying, and yes there are some gems over on Reddit. But without good, stable moderation over the long term, it’s all transient. Nothing good over there lasts, because once people discover how good it is, it starts to erode. Here at ENWorld we’ve got solid moderation keeping...

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    Counterpoint: A lot of people use ENWorld for free and assume that it’s sufficiently supported by ad revenue, which may not always be true. Beyond ENWorld, most people don’t pay for most of their news—small wonder that journalism is disappearing! A few months ago I was reflecting on how much I...

    What you’re describing sounds a lot like a bond.

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    Yeah that’s wild. Might be different if was explicitly some kind of co-operative. Good luck to them I guess. I thought you were joking about the bricks until I read it, lol

    Wizards of the Coast Reveals Revised Eberron Species Details

    I was thinking of Métis too! Obviously it can be problematic to compare a real-world culture to a fictional one, but there’s at least a structural basis of comparison between Métis and Khoravar. For those who don’t know this term, in Canada “Métis” is a recognized ethno-cultural group whose...

    Wizards of the Coast Reveals Revised Eberron Species Details

    This is technically correct in the biological sense, that’s true. But it still feels kind weird to talk about any kind of person as a biological “hybrid”—that’s language we normally reserve for animals, and sorta implies that it’s not a “legitimate” category of being.

    LOL well alright then, that’ll do it

    Wizards of the Coast Reveals Revised Eberron Species Details

    I didn’t phrase myself well, my bad. I know Eberron always called them “Khoravar” (well, specifically that was the particular main culture of half-elves). For some reason I had thought that 5E Eberron had dropped the term “half-elf” for Khoravar… turns out they just dropped half-elves.

    Wizards of the Coast Reveals Revised Eberron Species Details

    I’m not up on 5E 2024’s half-elf stats though, how different is the Khoravar?

    Wizards of the Coast Reveals Revised Eberron Species Details

    Not sure when Khoravar (the name for the race, not the concept of Khorvaire’s HEs) was introduced to 5E but it works pretty well. No objections… except that now people will be trying to be Khoravar in Faerûn and Ravenloft, etc. lol

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    Strong bet that Jd_Smith1 has blocked you for some reason, because my experience is identical to yours: JLowder is conversing with someone invisible to me who’s posting prolifically, and if I view the thread while signed out I can see that it’s Jd_Smith1. There’s no one on my ignore list...

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    I find it entirely cowardly to fob off this situation as “commonplace”, as though the fact that this apparently happens frequently should be a valid excuse. This whole fiasco is a story of bureaucracy being used to help wealthy creditors triumph over small businesses and their workers. If the...

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    It’s frustrating as hell trying to follow a thread where someone is commenting a lot and generating a ton of replies but has also blocked me from seeing any of their comments (including in replies). Jd Smith1, not sure what I said to earn a block from you, but would you do me a solid and unblock...
