Super duper excited for this.

When it comes to reading history, which I do a lot of, I check for three things: 1. the date it was published (older does not automatically mean worse. Steven Runciman’s work may have been supplemented by more recent scholarship, but he’s still the best writer on Byzantium.) 2. The reputation...

That’s a truly amazing introduction. One reason I truly did not like Old Gods at all is that it didn’t capture the feel and magic of a region I know quite well like Manly Wade did through his works. It’s a matter of subjective taste, I get that, but one product feels like a creative writing...

Did either cite Manly Wade as an inspiration? I know Old Gods didn’t, and it shows in the quality of the product, imo.

This is amazing. Thank you!

The world of John the Balladeer, as envisioned by Manly Wade Wellman. The atmosphere is perfect for an rpg, and southern gothic Appalachian weirdness has not been successfully captured in a ttrpg yet, imo.

I guess so! I just learned the dude was banned here, so I just find it kinda funny

Lol the second Justin Alexander post in three days

Wait, does he really go by The Alexandrian?

We just did the second half as we did the first half a while ago. Wasn’t too much to handle, just followed the book pretty closely.

Eh, I enjoyed running it. I don’t know this reviewer is, and he doesn’t seem like the kind of person I’d welcome at my table, just based off of his written tone. Just play the game and don’t think too hard about it.

Thanks for taking my questions seriously. I really do respect the work you and your team have done here, my budget is just tight this month and I need to plan and think accordingly.

Thank you for addressing my question directly. If I own nearly all the 2e stuff, and so am good on the lore, would this still be worth the investment for me? I enjoy buying third party stuff (Kobold Press is my favorite publisher), but have never bought anything off of DMs Guild so I think it’s...

I’m not going to argue with you over my opinion. This is what I think—it is my opinion. You disagree, and it’s fine that you disagree—that’s your opinion. And I truly don’t care that you think my opinion is “patently ridiculous”, it is still my opinion. If you feel the need to insult me or my...

I can’t justify 35$ on a book with no art without a detailed review being published first. And no offense to the head of the project posting in here frequently, but I think there is a concern that people aren’t going to give their honest and full opinion so as not to offend them and their team...

I just hope they make clerics cooler, as they were my favorite class in earlier editions (I’m old), and they are kinda lame in 5e. BG3 really drives this home, to be honest.

I’m comparing it to Bigby’s, yea. Couple that with some weird designs and a way too short page count, it really didn’t do it for me. The Guide to Sigil and Outlands book really tapped into that sense of wonder that I think Planescape brings at its best. The bestiary didn’t do that for me. Just...

For pure nostalgia reasons, WEG’s Star Wars. Cut my teeth on that game, was the first ttrpg I ever gmed. Ahhh, memories.

Dead Gods was my fav to read through.

So now having finished two out of the three books—I’m disappointed in the bestiary, and the Sigil/Outlands book goes from fine to sublime. Now to read the adventure.
