    RPG Evolution: My Gaming Goals for 2024

    My immediate goal is to finally get to ACT 2 in Baldur's Gate 3. Then possibly finish the game at least once, and then see how much time is left to accomplish anything else this year.

    D&D General Styles of D&D Play

    Speaking in the most general terms makes this applicable to any number of RPG systems/editions. But that has always been the greatest appeal of roleplaying games. People can decide exactly how they want to play their games together.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do we need a Fifth Edition Revival (5ER)?

    "Better supported" in what way? By removing all the official software tools so it is no longer available to anyone? By excluding it from the open license so no one can share created content, or allowing better support for modern VTTs? By preserving content previously published and available on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do we need a Fifth Edition Revival (5ER)?

    Sounds like they need to speak with their DM about it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do we need a Fifth Edition Revival (5ER)?

    That's kind of my point, though. People (i.e. customers at large ) expect a "complete" system, but no edition has ever proved satisfactory throughout every level if play for everyone. Then again, not everyone needs/wants certain things. And it seems that the few areas that need addressing have...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do we need a Fifth Edition Revival (5ER)?

    I feel that the community needs to change its way of thinking about the hobby. You don't need an endless line of products to keep playing your favorite system. There's plenty of "new" and "shiny" systems out there to support any style of play, with major corporate backing and blockbuster...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    The only thing worse than AI is how quickly we've become so willing to embrace it.

    Ben Riggs: 'The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead'

    I've been picking at the scab of DnD since 5th edition came out. It led me to try other systems and different approaches outside of the DnD-spheres. But it seems I can never shake the yokes of the burgeoning beast. The so-called "golden age" has long passed for me. Now I do little else but watch...

    D&D General First person 3D fantasy grounds

    I absolutely hate this idea. I get why they're doing it, but I don't like it. I stuck with FG specifically because it was more functional and simulated the tabletop experience without the extraneous bells and whistles that often detract from the game, create more demands on the hardware needed...

    GMing with Joy: How to Run a Year Long Campaign

    I think of it as more like taking your kids to the waterpark. Parent (GM): Ok, kids! We got the water slides over here. The wave pool is that way. There's the snack bar, a lazy river, another slide... that looks like a playground with water guns and fun fountains. Where do you want to go first...

    D&D General Does D&D (and RPGs in general) Need Edition Resets?

    They don't, but we're programmed to believe it is not only inevitable but necessary. It really boils down to who you want to play with. Do you have a close circle of friends who are content to play whatever game as a group because of the camaraderie shared and experience that have led to good...

    D&D 4E Have you ever run 4e using just Essentials?

    Some interesting insights on your blog. I think this was the hardest pill to swallow for players, especially those that have grown accustomed to having so many options available to them, and regularly fed more on a monthly basis. Thanks for sharing these! Since I started this personal project a...

    D&D 4E Have you ever run 4e using just Essentials?

    Just to be clear, I don't believe fault can be placed squarely on an individual (or individuals) because they did their jobs. I'm highly certain many people were involved in the decisions to make the designers change course, many who we may never hear about because they are further up the...
