You mean dangerous clown shoes? In our local meta, dangerous clown shoes means a magic item that looks silly or goes against the look of strong heroic character but offers a strong bonus or magical ability. Usually only two types of players endure using dangerous clown shoes. Either those...

I think an early article on ebooks helping with the rise of genre literature speculated that people could read them without anyone seeing a cover that would out them. That was like over 10 years ago, so perhaps the stigma of a genre cover may have changed since then.

I will be wait and see on the story. I could be wrong but I would be wearing a big smirk if the "heroes" end up all dead or drastically betraying themselves after Strahd is done with them. Because that would be the most Ravenloft of Ravenloft endings.

Indiana Jones and Star Wars were essentially 1970s fan fic for 1950s movie serials. It got to the point that most top tier novelists were making more of a living off movie options from their backlist than they from book royalties back in the 90s. Yes, there has been original content, but media...

I haven't read any of the updated lore on these characters but in my head, the new character has an Earth connection to the others, a spouse or co-worker. Now that Niko is trapped with them, it answers so many of her questions. I like this idea so much, I'm hesitant to read the lore and find...

I enjoyed C&C back in the day and don’t think it gets enough love. If I did start a new C&C campaign, I’d seriously think of using Amazing instead.

When I was strictly a consumer, I'd bristle at the idea of paying for a playtest document. But seeing how hard it is to get playtesters for a game with no branding as compared to suddenly getting volunteers to playtest and offer comments on a minor IP. I don't blame a company leveraging the...

More importantly, does come with scale measurement so we can translate the finished board to hex map? :ROFLMAO: Or you could simple shift every other row down half a square.

You might want to point to some of the content creators and 3PP as well. While some of them would see a new edition as way to repackage what they have done before, others are also very happy to keep cashing in their DTRPG credit for things that keep selling evergreen.

So they are now tripling down on the cartoon. I don't know why it didn't click before but now I see the 80s nostalgia focus. Maybe we'll have a 80s cosplay celebration. Play 5e in our leg warmers and over teased hair.

And they even had a movie studio no less. But evidently "under monetized" meant more D&D subscriptions vs merchandizing.

I feel comedy and horror share that ttrpg aspect where you need 100% player buy in at the table. All it takes is the "one guy," who is essentially premise rejecting the genre, to have the comedy or horror fall slightly if not totally flat.

Or perhaps just not take your game too seriously and have a few drinks? Everyone at my table cracks each other up every week. Putting us in Diskworld would be like spritzing the table with kerosene and peppering it with matchheads. Comedy can also be personal. I doubt anyone not in our group...

In some ways, Palladium was to AD&D as d20 Modern was to 3e.

"Coming to the legendary Dead Forest in search of treasure, glory and a solution to the ancient curse laying waste to the forest, the adventurers soon find themselves embroiled in an epic conflict reaching back to the very foundations of the world. The quest will take the adventurers through the...

For question 2. Path is a continuation of the boxed campaign and suggests the minimum requirements a PC needs to participate or they might find the campaign quite a bit tougher. That also answers Question 1 in part because as a continuation, it inherently has to use some elements from the...

This was not part of the kickstarter, but Dragonbane was so successful, Free League moved up the deadline on this book, a bestiary, and a stand alone core book to this year to feed the demand.

The book won't hit retail until November. The public copies are pre-orders that are being shipped for the last couple of weeks (I got my copy early.) I think this campaign may become the go-to for Dragonbane.

I just saw this recently when I was running an open table at a game store. I had one fellow who become a regular but had to constantly cheat. This was a grittier fantasy game so were also lots of choices the group had to make between who was on watch, who got to sleep, etc. He always tried to...

How long ago was the Wire? 'Cause this was literally part of the plot for one season and I am surprised it's still going on since then.
