    Castles&Crusades: Is this "The One"?

    Yeah, that's an odd feature. It seems easier for game master to just set a DC and let the player roll then add their modifier. Like...this seems pretty straightforward to me:

    Podcast #280: AI Art Controversy in RPGs...Again

    There are not many people in my life who get why ten foot poles are funny, Morrus. This world needs more ten foot pole humor.

    Castles&Crusades: Is this "The One"?

    Hello, TTRPG friends. I have just discovered Castles&Crusades, and OSR game from Troll Lords. Me like. Someone on Reddit said something I have been trying to articulate for four years: 5e does mechanically what older games did narratively. That was like an afflatus for me! I'm not slamming...

    Podcast #280: AI Art Controversy in RPGs...Again

    I thought it was funny AF. My friends and I were just talking about the efficacy of 10 foot poles.

    Podcast #280: AI Art Controversy in RPGs...Again

    Are you kindly English people going to put the 10-foot pole skit out as a separate episode on iTunes. I found it quite jocular, and wish to share it with a friend.

    Ben Riggs: 'The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead'

    I am truly curious if there will be a "Baldur's Gate" effect where people playing the video game become interested in the TTRPG. WotC should have made a table-top tie in to go along with the video game.

    Ben Riggs: 'The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead'

    D&D is the big dog: it has a huge footprint and deep pockets. Will a new player go on the internet, Youtube, Discord, etc. and find out about other games? I think so! I started playing these games in 1980, and used to go to game stores, and read Dragon Magazine and White Dwarf to find out about...

    Ben Riggs: 'The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead'

    Maybe WotC D&D will be the gateway drug for new players, who will then experiment and try different versions and systems. Hasboro (well...Magic The Gathering, really) has the money to advertise, push out content, etc. Let's all hope for the best.

    Is there an update on Chaosium's Questworlds someplace? A quick Google and I only found a blog post from over a year ago.

    Purple 20 for DCC and Roll20

    Hello, friends. A member of my gaming group created a Google Chrome extension that allows you to connect Roll20 to The Purple Sorcerer (much like Beyond20 connects D&D Beyond to Roll20). For those of you who play DCC on a VTT, this should be a very helpful tool! Purple 20

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up A5E vs. WotC 5E...?

    Thank you, everyone. It looks like an incredibly well-produced game. I'm forever in search of the system that will check all of my boxes, and I am very fortunate to have so many awesome choices to explore. The amount of thought, effort, and design that goes into these games is both astonishing...

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up A5E vs. WotC 5E...?

    One more question (then I'll shut up): do the PDFs come with the hardbacks?

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up A5E vs. WotC 5E...?

    Thank you. It looks like a beautiful game.

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up A5E vs. WotC 5E...?

    In what way is it more flexible? (and thanks to all for the insights) (Any good Youtube vid. that goes over the basics would be much appreciated, too!)

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up A5E vs. WotC 5E...?

    Greeting friends. I don't know much about Level Up A5E, but @SlyFlourish loves it, and has talked about it such glowing terms that now I'm curious. My question is this: are the characters as buffed in A5E as they are in WotC5E? I have found that PCs in Tiers 1&2 are basically superheroes by...

    Homebrew Level Up Roll20 Character Sheet is live!

    Without reading through 158 comments...is Level Up Advanced 5e going to have the rules on Roll20, too? Like the player's handbook, GMs, guide, etc.? A compendium, in other words.

    Podcast #280: AI Art Controversy in RPGs...Again

    I enjoyed this pod, as I do all of them. I think the WotC thing is a reflection of how little trust there is for Big Dragon by the larger community. I'm glad they didn't use AI art (and that the actual artist hasn't been penalized for what amounts to an unfair accusation). With that said...would...

    This was a good deep dive into Hasboro. Thank you all.

    Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2024

    It is a re-do of a previous box set. It is a setting book and some adventures. So, not technically a new game, I guess. Still: I am totally jazzed for it. My apologies for sending you to the wrong spot yesterday.
