    D&D General Reviews For The New Year

    Hey y'all, what products are you interested in seeing me review next year? I'm not doing anything on the 2024 rules refresh (mechanics ain't my jam), and I'd prefer to focus on 3rd party products. I like shining a spotlight on creators who could use some more love and don't have WotC's marketing...

    Grim Hollow Player's Guide - 3rd Party Review

    An excellent analysis! I would argue there's one more way these costs could be justified: if they serve as a springboard for the player to develop a "legacy" magic item. But that's such a niche instance that it feels like I'm trying to fix the developer's work in order to justify using them at...

    Dragonlance [Let's Read] Tasslehoff's Pouches of Everything Revised

    This has been a delightfully in-depth comparison! I have my personal preference so far, but I'm excited to see what you're recommending!

    Grim Hollow Player's Guide - 3rd Party Review

    I always viewed the souls requirement as a spur to adventure, but I agree that it falls apart as soon as you go to downtime. Maybe like CR 8 per month? Alright, kids. I don't technically own a new kidney, but I have one in my possession. And while I'm browsing BackPage for people with surgical...

    Grim Hollow Player's Guide - 3rd Party Review

    Sorry about the delay there, friends. I've been getting into the grimdark headspace with the Magistratum Mundanus live play of Dark Heresy (link here), which at one point made me laugh so hard I fell off the elliptical at the gym. It was quite painful, but I'm OK now. And by OK, I mean heavily...

    Dragonlance [Let's Read] Dragonlance Companion

    "It wouldn't be a real Dragonlance adventure without a DMPC" roflmao - too true!

    Grim Hollow Player's Guide - 3rd Party Review

    And now, we start off with... The best wizards theme song of all time Wizards: Plague Doctor: At second level, you can bottle your spells for up to one long rest (which is a damned good catch, because otherwise this is completely OP). This ability, Potion Craft, lets you cast a spell into a...

    Grim Hollow Player's Guide - 3rd Party Review

    Warlock: First Vampire Patron: You're somebody's Renfield. You gain a bunch of patron-specific spells (although, oddly, not vampiric touch), darkvision, and a singularly useful ability: Drain Life. You can, on the same turn you cast a spell or attack, use a bonus action to make a melee spell...

    Dungeons of Drakkenheim - 3rd Party Review

    Bear in mind that you're moving through a city, so stuff is fairly dense. Ergo, 1x/hr is really only 2 or 3x per adventure day.

    D&D General The Advent-ure Calendar

    I've heard Ms Dionne highly recommended by several sources. Thank you, gentlemen!

    Grim Hollow Player's Guide - 3rd Party Review

    Yay! Now we get to... Rogue: Highwayman Rider: This confused little chestnut is half-gunslinger, half-horseman and all sorts of weird. At 3rd level, you get proficiency with blackpowder weapons (detailed in a later chapter), and you can use your reaction on your turn to make an attack with...

    Dragonlance [Let's Read] Dragonlance Companion

    This is a fantastic rundown. I geniunely did not know that walrusfolk existed in DL. I'm also interested that they included so many villainous options that work with the dragonarmies.

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    If you don't trust a reviewer, just don't read their reviews. But please don't try to convince me that I'm not thinking for myself because I seek out information. That's their problem, friendo. I think you're delightful!!

    Grim Hollow Player's Guide - 3rd Party Review

    They are a little overtuned, though in line with something like Tasha's. That's normal in an edition as developers try to push the limits, but it's nice to know I'm not crazy. :) Alright, folks, let's keep this going. After a wild Halloween in the McDibben household, we are back with...

    D&D General The Advent-ure Calendar

    So, my family put up our Christmas tree today because we are absolutely those people. But I was thinking of how to stock an Advent calendar with adventures (I can't have candy). So I figured I'd go to the brain trust here! I need 24 adventures, $4.99 PDF or below, for pretty much any system...

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    It feels draining, reviewing something like this. No wonder Bryce is so mad all the time. And Alexander has been positive on other WotC products like Radiant Citadel.
