    Why Aren't Designers Using The GUMSHOE System?

    Thanks for the article. Could someone list the settings which already use GUMSHOE? Are there any non-modern, non-investigative settings which use GUMSHOE? This may sound like a odd question, but could GUMSHOE be used to run an entire campaign in the D&D Multiverse or Golarion...a campaign...

    Vin Diesel's D&D Birthday Cake

    Okay, human spirit = human culture = human development = the cultivation of individual meaning, qualities, and talents. Sorry for using a word ("spirit") which is no longer in wide public use. human culture = art, science, and religion (and other worldviews). Education is the primary vehicle of...

    Vin Diesel's D&D Birthday Cake

    Okay. Could be. This cake matters little. The wider question of the separation of monied interests and human spirit is the most important issue of this century. https://sites.google.com/site/threefoldnow/free-cultural-sector Cheers!

    Vin Diesel's D&D Birthday Cake

    I'm not saying Diesel's interest in D&D is fake. Sorry for the confusing comparison to the D&D Movie website, which was fake. I'm not saying the cake doesn't exist. I'm not saying Diesel didn't post that photo to his fb page. I'm not saying Diesel wouldn't want such a cake. I'm not saying...

    Vin Diesel's D&D Birthday Cake

    This may be a totally incorrect...and I don't doubt that Diesel may very well have a genuine interest in D&D...but what if Hasbro themselves designed and purchased the cake as a publicity stunt? Corporatism is like that. I'm remembering how back when the first D&D Movie came out, there was some...

    Sean's Picks of the Week (0706-0710) - ENnie Award Nominees, and a Storm is Coming!

    "A fantastic, hobby-changing development in the works." Hobby-changing? Just another edition of TORG would be nice, but I wouldn't call it "hobby-changing." What about these four guesses: A) WotC has made an agreement to release a D&D 5E TORG, as a way to establish a world-hopping tradition...

    D&D 5E (2024) Twelve actions for an even fresher 6th edition, or for an ultra-basic retooling of 5e

    World-Building is also part of the Core Setting. So I covered the World Hopping. That would be one-half of the Core Setting. But only half. The other half is World Building. Just as the 4E default theme was "Points of Light", 6E's default theme would be "World Hopping + World Building" In...

    D&D 5E (2024) Twelve actions for an even fresher 6th edition, or for an ultra-basic retooling of 5e

    Department 7 Okay, so going back to "World-Hopping as the Core Setting." This does the same thing for the entire D&D Multiverse as the "gate" concept did for 3e Forgotten Realms. Examples of non-D&D settings which are based on world-hopping: Sliders Quantum Leap Stargate Monte Cook's new...

    D&D 5E (2024) Twelve actions for an even fresher 6th edition, or for an ultra-basic retooling of 5e

    Exactly. But the semi-open Pathfinder Compatible license works pretty well too. The "no standalone" requirement works fine for Pathfinder. I think it could be a fitting model for for a "D&D Compatible" license. Believe me, I'm willing to consider even the most totally open option: releasing the...

    The traditional gonzo psionics rules would be in the Dark Sun Excursion. The 19th-century style Occult/Spiritualist psionics would be in the: Excursion to Gothic Earth: The D&D World of the Masque of the Red Death

    D&D 5E (2024) Twelve actions for an even fresher 6th edition, or for an ultra-basic retooling of 5e

    I don't know the exact situation of Dreamscarred Press, yet the Pathfinder Compatible license says: "In order to make use of the compatible content, your product must operate under and rely on the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Standalone game systems are in no event authorized hereunder." For...

    D&D 5E (2024) Twelve actions for an even fresher 6th edition, or for an ultra-basic retooling of 5e

    I see your point, but the idea is to get all the worlds updated, reconnected, and done with, so that the entire D&D cultural community is united and satiated. Then bring in new building blocks which will fit in any of those worlds, or which can be used to build one's own world.

    Culture Excursions Besides the "Big Twelve" D&D fantasy worlds, here are some other possibilities. "Culture Excursions" modeled on Oriental Adventures, but with Kara-Tur broken out into separate "Chinese" and "Japanese" soucebooks--we have enough experience of Wuxia films and Samurai films to...
