    D&D 5E (2014) Avernus Any Good?

    From my own experience running it, I'd say it's a great story that gets diminished by bad adventure writing. It's a Ferrari running on ethanol, unfortunately. That said, it's still a very good book, with the vehicle rules and the Baldur's Gate writeup being enough to justify the purchase, in my...

    WotC Older D&D Books on DMs Guild Now Have A Disclaimer

    I believe this is the best choice they could make. Putting a disclaimer inside the book would make you have to purchase it to see the disclaimer, which I think makes no sense at all (and the watermarks already make the books uglier than the originals, with no good motivation for their existence...

    D&D 5E (2014) Gun Mages & Warjacks: Iron Kingdoms Coming to 5E

    Great to see they'll be doing 5e material. Their 3e stuff was not the most balanced, they could have a much better grasp of the rules at the time (but that describes many products of the 3e d20 Era), but they were very creative and willing to try different things, which is exactly the spirit you...

    D&D General An Appreciation of David "Zeb" Cook

    Good to know! Where should I look for his design credits with KP? I own Creature Codex, Tome of Beasts, Midgard, Midgard Heroes, and DC&SS, but none of those lists him as a designer.

    D&D General An Appreciation of David "Zeb" Cook

    As a huge fan of 2e, you can bet that I'm also a huge fan of David's work. It's a pity that he's not doing more D&D work these days. Most stuff I've looked at/purchased from current designers is not as creative or exciting as his work. Looking at his list of credits, at the d20 Era, it's...

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    This pretty much describes my relationship with Rage Across the Amazon. I find must of the RIFTS sourcebooks on LA to be much more offensive, in fact (not that I’d want to remove them from the market, though). YMMV, of course.

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    Just to make it clear: I believe that people can use their basic liberties to organize and pressure for books they don't like to be removed from sale. But I also believe that doing so hurts some very basic tenets of morality for any liberal democratic culture. Unfortunately, it seems that...

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    Indeed, and I never complained when WotC decided to make their old catalog unavailable, a few years ago, though I'm glad they changed their position on the matter and it's now available again. People that pressure for books to be removed from the market because they don't like them, though...

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    As I said before, I'd prefer it if they don't make me go through the work of removing that message before printing, as the DRM watermark is already bad enough. On the other hand, a disclaimer in the product page is not only reasonable, in my opinion, but also something that people would see...

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    Man, the book is from 1985, isn't it? I have shown my support for WotC to make changes like the one they're making to Curse of Strahd, for example. Also, I stand by my statement that Zeb Cook may have failed once you look 30 years in the future, but he still tried to present the source at the...

    Before Crawford and the rest of his crew started to show up with a dozen UA surveys indicating that this is bad for the game, we used to have our supplements full of wacky subsystems just because we could. I loved (still love) that.

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    Well, if you cannot see for yourself how dangerous it is to pressure for books that contain no actual hate speech to be removed from the market because someone has issues with them, I won't be the one to open your eyes. I just want White Wolf to know that if they ever decide to apologize for...

    I wouldn't say it's the handbook definition of book burning because there are no physical objects or fire involved, but it's probably the nearest you'll get from burning digital books. We don't even have other expression for what it is. If you want to keep any book that does not reproduce hate...
