    WizKids to Release Amethyst Dragon Miniature

    It's a shame that it's another render image, when the actual minis are often disappointing in comparison. I have the BIG Tiamat and a couple of smaller Tiamats from Wizkids, as well as three Dracoliches. They look fine in person, but when you look at the digital renders, they are disappointing...

    What's Your Price Limit?

    But is a 90min movie you go to equal to your average 90min pnp RPG session? It isn't for me. The same is true for book time vs. movie time, Watching the LotR movie (~3 hours) vs the LotR book (~12 hours), I'm not spending 4x LotR Movie = LotR book, and especially when you consider the price of...

    Why Should You Follow Morrus' TTRPG News Podcast?

    From a Dutch perspective... You all sound equally weird! ;p

    Elaine Lithgow On The Ways And Means Of The Latest Heart Expansion

    Heart is on my wishlist to play (Oh! Who am I kidding, GM...). But Spire is still higher up on that wishlist. Both are weird, have cool art, have controversial topics, and are a breath of fresh air when we look at the classic D&D (likes). I just wish there was official support for (Foundry)...

    Wizards of the Coast Head Explains Benefits to D&D Franchise Model

    In the last 35+ years I've spend more on D&D products then 95%+ of the people that play MtG. Imagine many cases of D&D minis you could buy if the objective was one of at least everyone and for most monsters x12 (the old 3e encounter 'max' size)... Most people are not doing that, I'm not doing...

    Wizards of the Coast Head Explains Benefits to D&D Franchise Model

    You really, really forgot the €4,00/minifig set for D&D? https://www.lego.com/en-nl/product/dungeons-dragons-71047 And while I bought the big arse D&D set for adults on day #1 at full price, I still spend more on the D&D minifigs, even with a 25% discount. And while the big sets might sell for...

    Violence and (Geek) Entertainment

    Around here (Netherlands) the Dutch version of the comics and toys started in 1987 (I would have been 11), possibly a little earlier the cartoons via UK channels in saturday/sunday morning cartoons. At age 7-11 I really didn't need my cartoons besmirched with reality, thankyouverymuch! At the...

    D&D General GMing and "Player Skill"

    It depends on the puzzle: If it's A fits into B, then there is only one solution to solve the puzzle, but could the group bypass the lock entirely by being creative? Most of our group hate puzzles, particularly the only one solution puzzles with no way to circumvent those puzzles. I'm...

    D&D General The Player's Quantum Ogre: Warlock Pacts

    Because if the Warlock player wanted to play a Cleric, they would have done so... Many people view the 'pact' as something already paid for power, like selling your soul to a devil or whatever entity they made a pact with. Warlock does not mean cultist or priest, it can be, but it isn't by...

    Daggerheart "Description on Demand" a GM DON'T

    It doesn't matter that you disagree, it matters what the DM/players of a particular game think. The issues can be many, as you describe, one of those issues could be putting a player on the spot that isn't that creative ad-hoc. My personal pet peeve would be that I, as a player would be...

    Wizards of the Coast Head Explains Benefits to D&D Franchise Model

    I don't inherently dislike DLC (microtransactions), it just depends what it is, for what it is, how it's priced, how long you can use it, etc. Would I like $8 horse armor? No. Do I like a $5/$30/$120 VTT module? Sure, just depends on what it is. People forget that when they buy a bear or a cup...

    Wizards of the Coast Head Explains Benefits to D&D Franchise Model

    The reality is that depending on the occasion we would love to play in person, BUT... Our group of friends moved all over the country, and some moved to different countries. Playing every other week in person just isn't an option, especially not when a player is on the other side of the globe...

    Sci-Fi TTRPGS for September

    I'm not opposed or anything, but isn't Traveller not a little bit too mainstream for this series? Heck it's as old as Star Wars! There already was a whole slew of Traveller interviews last year, not on here, but elsewhere, the one with Mongoose Matt is here: That channel has four interviews...

    Sci-Fi TTRPGS for September

    Last month it was baking, this month it was space, I was fully expecting space cake... ;) The first KS mentioned raised $709... Curious about the difference between the new Blue Planet and the 1st edtion BP. The third KS mentioned raised $288k and will deliver product by the end of 2026. I'm...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    No... Probably more like 2014-2015, as in 2008 I was still enthusiastic about a D&D4e, as mechanically I found it very strong. I even bought everyone in my group 4e PHBs to start playing it, and bought most of the 4e products during it's lifetime. It's just that none of us ever felt motivated to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    I would but 2024 at a 7.5, but rounded down, 2014 at a 7. Older editions have now lower ratings then they would have had in the past. D&D4e would rate a 0 for D&D purposes, higher then that as a WoW pnp RPG... D&D3.5e I would now rate as a 6.5 and AD&D2e as a 6.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    People have been playing D&D for 50+ years, some started 51 years ago, others yesterday, most of us somewhere in between. For a lot of people D&D was the first pnp RPG they ever played, for others it was a 'better' option at the time. For me I started pnp RPGs with the Dutch version of The Dark...

    D&D 5E (2024) What’s the difference between sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards?

    One was born to power, one made a deal for power, and the last one studied for power.

    Dungeons and Lasers VI: Caverns

    It looks like they shipped three times depending on the products you ordered and when you paid for shipping, that this happened with tariffs you can't blame them for, that's your countries problem. Crowdfunding projects are done when they are done and this seems to have been done on schedule...
