    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    They really fkd this up. Looking forward to seeing how GG tries to handle this, in a watch-one-of-your-favorite-ttrpg-companies-burn sort of way 🥲

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    I really need to reach into my brain and figure out where I got the idea that they were, then :(

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    If GG were contractually obligated to make the product, and the agreement was made before the original hate posts were made (someone correct me if that's the wrong order of events), one wonders if there's some way out of it given JGs actions or just what the penalty is for breaking said contract...

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    They always have 3d renders, that's nothing new. I'm not saying the quality's excusable, it's just always been a known for those that collected them. The word premium means pretty much nothing, it's used in everything as a marketing term.

    D&D General How Long Did You Play Only D&D Before Trying Another Game

    A few months is about right... we played whatever the DM was running, which was a great variety of things. Warhammer Fantasy 1e might've been the second thing, except iirc it was a WH40k hack for WHFantasy :'D

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Who's clear on the series of events? From what I understand, they said that they wouldn't make another JG product, but they also say that they're contracted to produce this one- from before they said they wouldn't make another? Or what? Not really clear on the timeline.

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    For whatever reason I've always been happy with wet erase markers and a chessex mat for the terrain (never stopped me from getting fancy terrain ofc, even if it didnt get used nearly as much), but holding a mini in my hand excites my imagination. I pick up a hill giant and think of a whole...

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    I'm sorry that you don't find the art worthwhile.

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    I think it's important to inspiration, and selling/translating the fantasy/fiction/narrative that the game is trying to embody. This CAN be done through other modes, like through writing passages or scenes from in the world of the game like World of Darkness or MCDM's supplement books, buuut "a...

    OSR City State of the Invincible Overlord, what even is it?

    Player expectations have to be set, and it really helps if they were already familiar with the Sword & Sorcery trope of "we're rich!" "Oh we spent all our money in a week/month of living it up, now we need to go adventure for more money." In modern DnD players are expecting to save money to buy...

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    AFAIK, heroforge's options are either colored plastic, or hand-painted. The colored plastic is... well, here ya go. First one is heroforge hand-painted. the second is colored plastic. This is from someone's post in 2022.

    Level Up (A5E) What are your common house rules?

    I'll agree that choosing to use inspiration as a reroll, rather than rolling with advantage, is an incredibly popular house rule.. basically universal across 5e tables. I think it's more of a rules-ignorance thing for many tables, rather than an intentional house rule... I know that's how our...

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    Now that I think on it, I recall asking the wizkids folks at GAMA (8ish years ago) why the Pathfinder prepainted minis had such lower quality than the (still low) quality DnD prepainted minis. Apparently they use different factories.. so... must be lower quality standards for the kids painting...

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    That's pretty standard for wizkids prepainted minis, maybe a bit below standard for the worst of them? I guess I should be glad that there's blowback for the quality... why was this different from other releases? Maybe it got bigger numbers to a wider audience that expected a closer match to the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Into the Woods: New Species, Eerie Monsters, and Haunting Villains

    Hey! I realized "I use woods all the time, this could be great!" but question: are these just collections from en5ider (which I also get) or is there a new thing or three tossed in to freshen it up (and appeal to folk like me that already go in for en5ider)?

    Level Up (A5E) What are your common house rules?

    Oh! Another rule we fell into: Heralds get a small Exertion Pool. I'm still iffy on whether it should be REALLY small (half PB) or just small (PB). We started with =PB.
