    RPG Evolution: Mapping It All Out (With Help)

    I got by for years with a couple of Paizo flip mats. Lightweight, portable and cheap. If I needed an easy to transport battlemat, that would be my first choice. When playing at home I now prefer tiled or jigsaw battle mats for my games. They’re bulkier than the flip mats and more expensive, but...

    Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Kickstarter is live!

    $8.5m would get it close to the top 50 most funded Kickstarters ever, which is pretty amazing.

    Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Kickstarter is live!

    They're definitely advertising the heck out of it. I've frequently had Google and Facebook ads pop up for it on many occasions now.

    Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Kickstarter is live!

    Why would they do that? That’s a stretch goal that would increase their costs without adding anything to the game.

    Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Kickstarter is live!

    Let’s not get carried away here. A $4m+ RPG Kickstarter is freaking awesome, but you’re still talking about a Kickstarter with 35k backers There are several established RPGs with more players than that on Roll20 alone, let alone all electronic and physical tabletops. D&D has millions of...

    Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Kickstarter is live!

    I’m sad that IDW’s game division seems to be all but gone. An Avatar board game was slated to follow the TMNT (which I’ve got and love) and Batman (waiting on delivery) board games as a Kickstarter. The success of this Kickstarter shows that there is strong demand for the setting.

    Camping and D&D: Actual Play

    Great writing. I definitely get like I was part of those encounters. Sound like the kids really enjoyed it too, which is the ultimate success of any game.

    Top 5 Tabletop RPGs Spring 2021: Cyberpunk Gains!

    A rather ironic statement, given that Pathfinder was basically D&D 3.75E.

    Top 5 Tabletop RPGs Spring 2021: Cyberpunk Gains!

    I’d definitely be interested in those, but they seem to not want to do that. I’m guessing Paizo are worried it would potentially lead their customer base back to 5E instead of Pathfinder, rather than widening their customer base to also include people like myself, 5E players that don’t play...

    TSR TSR3 Throws In Towel, Rebrands Wonderfilled

    Personally, I think they all deserve everything they get from this. They’ve had many chances to do the right thing, with many long-time friends telling them directly how hurtful and inappropriate they are being, yet they’ve rejected that advice and kept going.

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Surely a hollow earth conspiracy would be more their type of thing.

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Did WotC make you post that? Blink once if they're reading this over your shoulder.

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    That in a post all by itself is bad. Including it in a non-apology post where you're trying to garner sympathy from the readers of it is just mind-blowing. He clearly sees himself as the victim in this situation.

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    So, since Ernie and LaNasa seem to want to keep digging their holes deeper, what dumb strategy do you think they will come up with next? Because clearly they don't think accusing the company that already has obvious grounds to sue them of being behind a conspiracy to "get them" is dumb enough.

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    The simplest explanation is usually the right one. In this case, the simplest explanation is the 3SR people (LaNasa, Ernie and Dinehart) discussed and agreed together what to write, then all posted the same thing to their Twitter accounts (with Ernie's slightly changed to remind everyone who his...

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    I'll be going with Occam's Razor on this one.

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    That’s the edited version. The previous version talked about how he wished he had instead of the edited version which talks about becoming a giant.
