    US Tariffs: $80-$200 Surcharge On All Packages Regardless of Price

    From Canada, if I want to order POD from DTRPG, and it's printed in the US, I get a warning there may be additional duty and tarifs upon delivery. Impossible to know how much. Very few RPG books are printed POD directly in Canada.

    What Lost, Abandoned or Short Lived TTRPG would you like to see get a re-issue and new support?

    Star Frontiers by TSR only lasted 3 years. It's a shame they tried to impose the FASERIP color code system instead of using the pages of Zebulon's Guide to the Galaxy to expand the setting. WoTC gave us a small nod with D20 Future. But with Exodus coming out, I'm 100% convinced SF is canned for...

    I liked it too. Pegasus Spiel lost the right the same year the RPG came out.

    What Lost, Abandoned or Short Lived TTRPG would you like to see get a re-issue and new support?

    WoTC own the rights to Dragonquest RPG by SPI (1980, 1982). TSR even published a 3e in 1989. It used a d100 skills system. Combat was very gritty, taking into account wounds and combat fatigue. In view recent reedition of old systems like T&T, a new refreshed and streamlined Dragonquest edition...

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    Joke: D&D is the Tiamat of RPGs. Not sure why people want to add another head to a creature that hasn't been able to agree with itself for the last 50 years. :D

    US Tariffs: $80-$200 Surcharge On All Packages Regardless of Price

    Canada dropped retaliatory tariffs on free trades US imports. Are games included in the current (CUSMA) Canada-US-Mexico free trade agreement?

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    Someone enterprising could use the simplified version of D&D in the new 2024 starter set to build it from the group up. BX was 64 pages x2. It is doable. Just go back a smaller list of spells, magic items and simplified creatures. I don't have the language skills, the energy or the focus to do it.

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    Matt Mercer is on the record for saying that he switched to D&D 5e because it was easier for him to run live.

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    Wishful thinking: A single 150-page hardcover with a light version of the game. I mean really simplified, not the usual 5e Basic reduced options PDF. About 50 pages for players, 50 pages for the DM, and 50 pages of adversaries and allies. This would be in addition to the regular 3 core books.

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    LOL! The man is right. That is exactly what happened to my first D&D basic group in 1981. After a summer of play, two of my players came back from the hobby store with the 1e Call of Cthulhu box set. They were super excited. After one game of CoC, our group effectively split in two. I lost three...

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    Sadly, all adults in their 20s to 40s. They got the boot.

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    No X cards, but I had a few instances were I had to act as if: Severe arachnophobia, remove the spider miniature from the table. Unwarranted sexual behaviour towards the character of a woman*, even though she specifically banned it at the start of the campaign. Weird sexual jokes: Cleric "I...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    GURPS 4e, Basic Set Books: Characters and Campaigns. Crunchy and outside my confort zone.

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    He has medical bills to pay because he had cancer, by his own admittance. Any title with D&D is $$$$ and loads of views. His heart is with Shadowdark but he needs to feed the algorithm to pay the bills. The next edition of his own RPG Death Bringer supplement will be with Shadowdark. It's the...

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    Anecdotally, I quit season 3 after they failed to kill Ludinus the first time. The split into to groups didn't appeal to us. I only watched the last four episodes to see the ending.

    The future of voice acting is extremely uncertain because of AI generated voices, more so in the computer animation sector. The change to AI voices could happen very fast, maybe faster than we are ready to believe. The CR crew knows this. It's prudent of them to keep playing D&D and slowly...

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    Darrington Press is not Critical Role, and Critical Role is not Darrington Press. They are two distinct corporate entities divisions that sell a different product. I'm not surprised CR season 4 is with D&D. That's the CR brand. One does not kill the Golden Goose if it's still dropping the gold...
