From Aaron Shanks on Paizo's Website. and from Mark Moreland

I think D&D Beyond is pretty neat and the real reason I don't use it is price. I already own all the books, etc. If Paizo offers a discount for customers who already own products, I'm much more likely to jump on board. I know many PF players use Pathbuilder, but I think that's free using the...

This actually sounds like a lot of fun. I might try this. Truth be told I'm starting to dislike flanking, but it depends on the circumstances. When playing Theater of the Mind I just got advantage for free as more often than not there wasn't anything stopping me from flanking or the DM...

The fact that the workers felt they needed to do this, makes all of the allegations against Paizo ring true and all of their promises to make things right suddenly seem hollow. Best of luck to all the unionizing employees. I hope this all turns out for the best.

Not a fan of this change. I had a situation in a game where a DM was adapting a 3rd Edition creature called a Mooncalf. The creature cast a pretty high level Call Lightning on us, and when we we attacked it, we reminded him to make a Concentration Check, to which he responded: "I don't think...

This is my experience, but it could have some merit for others, I dunno. When I pitch other kinds of RPGs people tend to ask "Why don't we just play D&D?" But Call of Cthulhu is so unique in it's tone and gameplay that my 5e purists accept it for what it is, a unique experience. But talking...

I feel you, I purchased Secrets of Magic like 4-5 days ago and coerced my group into a one-shot last weekend. I've never bought into the subscription model, so I can abstain from purchases for the time being. I already own the most of the core-books already, so I don't have to stop playing...

In case you didn't realize, this post by Kenada has a collection of all the tweets in a more readable format. I'm disappointed so far. The evidence does look pretty damning, but I'm also wary of Price. Her stuff certainly comes across as vengeful, but I believe that's it's probably true...

I bought this collection several years back and have occasionally sprinkling them into games over the past few years. The Complete Adventures of M.T. Black Volume 1. They are excellent adventures, spanning a range of levels at 1-2 sessions each. I'll be honest, a lot of them seem kind of simple...

It's because of this when I do give DM advice, I always tend to preface it not as "Here's what you should do" but rather "Here's what I would do." I feel like this tends to leave me advice as something that you can take or leave and not some commandment from an incredibly experienced GM that you...

One campaign has no real restrictions. Another campaign has certain restrictions based on our DM's homebrew. I don't recall them all but I know that Gnomes are extinct, so none of them. I'm getting ready to run a campaign using Midgard from Kobold Press. I'm planning on presenting a limited...

Carbon 2185 is a Cyberpunk RPG built on the 5e OGL. Maybe you'd like it? (I've never tried it.)

Not playing, but I keep longingly reading my WFRP 4e books and eyeballing my Symbaroum PDFs. Also Pulp Cthulhu, A Cold Fire Within. Once one of my current campaigns wraps. I'll try and find time for one of these.

A whole bunch of Flying Buffalo's products are on the Bundle of Holding right now if you still want to grab them. They have two bundles: Tunnels & Trolls 2 and Catalyst (Containing Grimtooth's Traps, Citybooks, etc.) These products can be re downloaded from Bundle of Holding at anytime, but...

Missed the announcement before, does this affect the somewhat related RuneQuest line?

While I understand the imperative to try to maintain tension in the story, telling your players they can't do something (in this case, rest) when they have done everything according to the rules to do so is going to make (most) players quite frustrated. Their opinion is they should be allowed to...

I like Chris Metzen's work on WoW, so I'm pretty excited for this. I'm not expecting him to reinvent the wheel, it's still D&D after all, but I'm optimistic all the same.

Pathfinder 1e ran for about 10 years I believe, and that was a game many people believed wasn't going to get a second edition, or shouldn't get a second edition. As for D&D, I remember seeing discussions about 6e or 5.5 around 2019, around the 5 year mark. We're passed that now, so I think...

Perhaps not, but by being the most succesful edition implies that it is the most popular edition. There is no "best" but you might be able to argue that 5e is the "most-liked." Personally I'm off the Matt Colville mindset. You like an edition until you don't. It's great when its new and...

Quite right! Dolmenwood is very much the Brother's Grimm version of the fairy-tales it likes to draw from. It's disarming and charming before suddenly becoming delightfully twisted. But yes I feel there is an aesthetic shift but I think it has a lot to do with digital artists, especially on...
