    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Survey Feedback: Weapon Mastery Spectacular; Warlock and Wizard Mixed Reactions

    That could also work for Psychics... or Artificers... or even Ritual Casting...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Survey Feedback: Weapon Mastery Spectacular; Warlock and Wizard Mixed Reactions

    I've been using some homebrew from DNDWiki and that basically just moved the Arcane Focus to the "Class Features" section of the sheet. I agree on moving the spells with costed materials off of the Sorcs list, as well.

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    Moderately off topic: but did anyone ever pull anything like a Pathfinder or an Old-School Essentials with Fourth Edition? A distilled/upgraded version? The basic ideas appeal to be, but it sounds like the whole line was... inconsistent and under-polished.

    D&D 5E (2014) Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass

    I mean, if magic WAS a common thing in a Modern-Day-Earth-like setting, they would totally be putting mystic meal-replacement drinks (that also heal minor wounds) in the Coke machines. Or some lobby somewhere suppressing them into oblivion because leaving people starving is more profitable...

    D&D 5E (2014) Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass

    Saw an ad for this on the latest episode of Fool's Gold and I like what I'm seeing. My Platonic ideal of D&D (I think I mentioned this in that last Zelda/Ghibli thread) has always been: Crossing vast, picturesque, landscapes, either by road, rail, or airway... Delving into crumbling temples...

    Would have expected Monte Cook to get Night Vale. They got Magnus Archives and Old Gods of Appalachia, previously.

    Necro, but new supplement out! The subgenre this time seems pretty obvious. https://jasontocci.itch.io/2400/devlog/560931/junior-hybrid-battle-cryptids-10

    Official Adventure Time RPG Uses New 'Yes And' System

    I actually just saw Wizards, recently. It was pretty alright. I full-on cheered during the final showdown between Blackwolf and Avatar, that was nuts. Also Elinore... being Elinore (Bakshi's going to Bakshi). Don't know how you expand on it, outside of a near-past prequel or a LotR-style...

    Take World War II To Your RPG Night With War Stories

    Huh, pure historicals are a bit uncommon, I think the last one I saw was Hard City a few months back.

    Official Adventure Time RPG Uses New 'Yes And' System

    Given what I've heard of Dungeon/Mutant Crawl Classics, wouldn't it be a bit too lethal for this setting? I'd prefer straight B/X, specifically Old School Essentials.

    Renegade Studios Sends C&D To Stop Small Creator Using The Word 'Renegade'

    I hope these guys call RGS's bluff. See how far they'll take this. And, I agree, the GTA similarities are probably a greater concern.

    🏳️‍🌈Pride Month- Celebrating Representation in TTRPGs🏳️‍🌈

    I'm just going to shout out an indie LGBT+ TTRPG I love: Moonlight on Roseville Beach by R. Rook Studio. Premise: Summer, 1979. Disco is on its way out while the AIDS Epidemic is on the horizon. The players are a group of young folks trying to settle around Roseville Beach and Pinewood...

    D&D Movie/TV Dungeons & Dragons Adventures is a 24-Hour Streaming Channel Launching in Summer

    It's on my Wishlist. I'll get around to downloading it, eventually. Plus, I saw it opening day.

    News Digest for May 12, 2023

    I hope this D&D "channel" isn't a stand-alone app, This seems like the perfect thing for services like Pluto TV (sister company of Paramount) or Tubi. Also, didn't know Lillard was into D&D and co-founded B&G. Neat.

    Pathfinder 2E 2 New Pathfinder Videogames Announced (Update: Abomination Vaults game confirmed)

    That was another thought I had: this looks like it could be a good Diablo alternative (I also had Torchlight, but I've burned through that series, already).

    Pathfinder 2E 2 New Pathfinder Videogames Announced (Update: Abomination Vaults game confirmed)

    Was expecting Elemental Evil... Got Diablo... Eh, could work.

    Pathfinder 2E 2 New Pathfinder Videogames Announced (Update: Abomination Vaults game confirmed)

    The first thing that comes to mind when I hear "Abomination Vault Video Game" is Troika's adaptation of "The Temple of Elemental Evil".
