My own style guide is: "D&D 2024" for the whole system. "D&D 2024 Player's Handbook" or "D&D 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide" and "D&D 2025 Monster Manual". (I'm willing to omit "D&D" on those if the context allows. That works for me and helps clarify it from other 5e books coming out around the...

That's fair. There are a lot of house rules zipping around. Lots of ways to play. Theater of the Mind, heavily gridded combat, online, offline, small groups, large groups. I do think the new rules are less flexible for lots of different styles of play even if they did focus on the most common...

An AI model of you would look so much better.... ;)

I can't speak for him but on the interview Mike did with Stan!, he talked about how Magic has like seven ways to play and Warhammer has even more but there's really only one way to play D&D and yet there could be many more. It's a pretty interesting thought. I think there has been some attempts...

I am now confident that we'll never come to an agreed upon name. I'm going with D&D 2024.

My Wednesday group is doing exactly this. We have three D&D 2024 characters, three Level Up Advanced 5e characters, and one D&D 2014 character, and it all works just fine. One of the players has been rotating back and forth between an A5e paladin (I can't remember what they're called) and a D&D...

This is the way.

I tend not to think much about where to hitch up my wagon. I write what I want to write for the systems I want to write for. I love 5e but I'm not in love with any one particular flavor so I've been writing for 5e. In City of Arches, I've included tables to help you find monsters across multiple...

You interpret correctly. Basically, not a big information conglomerate like Facebook, X, Tiktok, Reddit, Instgram, YouTube. Real forums made by real human beings (like you!).

Russ has had a week. I'll cut him some slack =)

I don't know how to grab what you posted =(

Now it's all dark links on a dark background...

Gods help me. How do I format this so it's not so obnoxious. How can I post a link without it trying to blow it up? I'm such an old man...

Hello friends! I did a segment on my Lazy RPG Talk Show (posting tomorrow) about independent spaces on the net for RPG discourse. Basically, where can we meet fellow TTRPG enthusiasts and have great conversations about it. Yochai Gal had a good post just today about the topic. For my show, I...

Their press release service was free. I used it for the City of Arches.

Thank you for the kind reply! In fairness, I'm sure I'm full of biases. I definitely love me some Kobold Press and the fact that I work with them (because of this love but money doesn't hurt) is a bias. Of course, I also get review copies from WOTC and they've paid me for work there too but I...

I don’t. I think if Shadowdark as a game built off of 5e. To me, a 5e game means a game compatible with the larger sphere of 5e products.

Yeah. I don’t have a straight answer for that except “not much”. At some point we’re all going to have our own definition of compatibility. I have friends I love and trust who say that 2014 D&D is not compatible at all with D&D 2024 but I disagree. There’s been a lot of change in 5e even before...

That’s why I said it was a different take. To me, what makes 5e 5e is its compatibility with other 5e products.

I'm late to the party and I think I have a different take on the question of what 5e is. I wrote a longer post about what 5e is but I'll summarize it here. 5e is an open platform for tabletop roleplaying games, originating with the D&D 2014 5th edition rules but now expanded into multiple...
