Thanks! Also worth picking up for free: One Page Dungeon Contest entries for 2014 http://www.onepagedungeon.info/one-page-dungeon-contest-2014 And for 2013 http://www.onepagedungeon.info/one-page-dungeon-contest-2013 2012 http://www.onepagedungeon.info/one-page-dungeon-contest-2012 All the...

I recommend making the Heart Queen, Colorless Queen, Pale King and Red King as tough as monsters in your setting can get and then scaling everyone else from there.

If I was WOTC I'd do a Camelot setting ASAP and then, after angling for licenses, do a big Sword & Sorcery book that had rules for Lankhmar, Elric's world, Jack Vance's, and Conan & Red Sonja's. Maybe even go for the Tolkien license. Dark Sun, Ravenloft, the Realms and the rest will still be...

Standard assumptions about character "role" and interclass balance depend on assuming that xp is going to be won by "stand up weak monster fight, stand up weak monster fight, stand up medium monster fight, stand up medium monster fight, stand up boss monster fight," with the players avoiding...

I wasn't brought back to D&D by 5e (I was playing older versions all along) but I was brought back to using the version of D&D owned by WOTC by 5e.

In one of our games we use Labyrinth Lord but with LOTFP's magic book for cleric and wizard spells and that works pretty well. The magic is (along with the combat progression) one of the most distinctive parts of LOTFP but unlike the combat numbers it ports a little more easily to other systems.

There's a documentary called "Hands On A Hard Body" about a contest a truck dealership ran to see who could keep their hand touching a truck longest without sitting down. The prize was the truck. It went on for days and is the most boring contest in the world--however, the documentary is...

I think the new DMG's problems fall into two categories: -"didn't do enough in x direction" (which direction every GM is going to have complaints about depending on the kind of game they run) and -It's poorly organized and hard to find the kinds of info you want mid-game (which is also true for...

If nothing else, the long and large magic item section is far more evocative than anything else that came after in D&D. It's much less dry and much more opinionated than other DMGs and is full of ideas that should--at the very least--make any DM think. Very worth it. In fact I've just talked...

My theory? If Monte Cook killed a pillbug on his back patio there'd be 300 conspiracy theories about it before lunch.

Hey, this is just to let you know you can watch Eberron Overlord Keith Baker and a few other nerdfamous people play D&D and help folks learn to read at the same time: On January 28, 2012 1pm – 6pm Los AnDnDMelt will host a celebrity charity Dungeons and Dragons game With a custom adventure &...

Um, I don't know if anyone reading this cares or is interested but this is actually provably untrue. Carcosa and Vornheim have both made as much or more for their creators per time spent and per word than high-tier freelancers make. This has been confirmed by major RPG freelancers via email...

Cheers!

Yeah, we did not sell 5000 copies. Yet. Here's how it broke down: I made as much or more than most any WOTC freelancer would've (and I asked around). As did James, the publisher. This was because only 2 of us were taking pieces out of the pie. The average WOTC product has about 2 million people...

Well, once it happened I looked on the (highlight text to read spoiler) undead plague as a way not so much to have a night of the living dead -type thing going on all the while, but rather to make a sort of limited-resources/post-apocalyptic situation in parts of the gameworld while still...

Death Frost Doom was my current campaign starter... Playing D&D With Porn Stars: Death Frost Doom Review/Play Report I don't know about y'all, but my girlfriend got through it with 2/3rds of her party intact.
