    So What IS Happening to Tabletop Roleplaying Games? Dancey & Mearls Let You Know!

    Mearls was spot on for me regarding time. In the 80s, I'd spend hours and hours designing D&D adventures. Now, I'd rather watch something on Netflix or surf the web when I have free time. To me, though, that's what's so VERY appealing about Pathfinder - tons of pre-made adventures that I...

    So What IS Happening to Tabletop Roleplaying Games? Dancey & Mearls Let You Know!

    No, not at all. I love playing and running Pathfinder. I don't love designing it. Pathfinder combat duration isn't an issue for my group, but then, we like the tactical part as well as the role-playing part.

    Third Party Character Creation iOS App Removed

    As a Pathfinder fan, the Kickstarter utterly failed to convince me that they were providing anything I didn't already have from Hero Lab and Realm Works. (Their software indeed may have provided other benefits, but they were unable to communicate clearly what those benefits were to my...

    Third Party Character Creation iOS App Removed

    Well, obviously some people get very emotional over this issue. I don't have a horse in this race at the moment since I'm not playing 5E. However, as someone who has been very impressed with the initial 5E ruleset (and the marketing rollout thereof), it's quite disappointing that the follow-up...

    Which you could do without a policy. :)

    Third Party Character Creation iOS App Removed

    WotC having a clear fan and commercial policy would certainly be the best solution. Unfortunately, I doubt even they know at this point what they want. (And, of course, "they" is actually different groups within the company so who knows when we will actually see something.) They seem to be...

    Is this the world's best D&D gaming room?

    Maybe this is the gaming edition of "Hoarders".

    It would be... ...if they hadn't stopped acquiring products 17 years ago. ;) (Or so it seems...)

    What's a Freelance RPG Writer Worth?

    It's pretty much already been said, but if you are a writer of RPGs and you don't like what a publisher is paying/offering - don't write for them. If there's no market (or room) for your product with the publishers that are paying more, then publish it yourself. Don't like either of these...

    What's a Freelance RPG Writer Worth?

    These are great points. So much so, that for me, as a consumer, what has to be released from a 3PP has to be special for me to even look at it now. Small PDF? No thanks. Rules add-ons? No thanks. Slumbering Tsar? Yes, please. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Light release schedule: More harm than good?

    For new players, I don't think it has a negative effect - there's enough to digest with the Core 3 and the two adventures. Especially since you are given the tools to make your own adventures. For those players used to millions of player and monster choices with 3.x, Pathfinder, and 4E, the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Edition Wars, WHY?

    Exactly. As one who was extremely put-off by 4E and was happy to say so - over and over again, I can tell you that it's no longer a relevant issue for me. I think the way WotC handled the 5e rollout was fantastic, especially the way they *embraced* the quirky facets of the game's history with...

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    The interesting thing to me is that mearls indicates that support for the RPG *is still an open question*. Wow! How times have changed. Only 1 D&D tabletop RPG product for February, March, and April as far as we know. The last time something like this happened, there was a "problem with the...
