That sucks for Goodman. I will buy MORE of their stuff to help them.

I am going to take a look at that option. Thank you for your help!

Probably my favorite TTRPG book with regard to campaign design and prep. I use @SlyFlourish's ideas every time I play. Huge help.

Rules-nerds, crunch-meisters, deep thinkers, unite! I could use some help workshopping an idea. Let me say from the get-go, I'm not asking if anyone likes this idea! I'm asking for people to help me think through the mechanics of the DCC rules related to magic users. I recently played a fun...

I knew they made 5e stuff, but I had no idea it sold well for them. Good for them!

Does anyone know why they chose to develop this project for 5e vs. their DCC ruleset?

DEAR GOD NEVER READ THE COMMENTS!

Basic Role Playing. It's the main driver of Chaosium games. Roll low, d100 for skills and combat.

You really can run monsters like normal if you want to; it's not a super-crunchy system and doesn't take much work to change it. Chaosium has a ton of stuff out there to help you.

I suspect no one would have clicked on the article--me included--if the lede was "Venerable D&D Game Changes Stealth Roll, Adds Feats." Actually...I probably would have. I am pathetic.

If you are used to playing 5e and the...let's say vigorous characters, you'll find this game very humbling as a player.

This "news story" is now being spread in other outlets: Fox News, the Boston Globe, etc. It's all just a giant echo chamber.

I am currently reading through "The Undying War" from Troll Lords (Castles&Crusades, but I think there is a 5e version as well). It's a big one! I also have Empire of the Ghouls (Kobold Press), Stars Without Number, Shudder Mountains (Goodman Games), Ruins of Grendleroot (@SlyFlourish) and God...

I've played it about 10 times, I guess, and I really like it. It has BRP DNA, so my group and I are quite familiar with the mechanics. We play on Roll20, where the game is fully supported, so that's fun. What my players don't like is the monster mechanic (i.e. automatic hits for monsters)...

I believe you. NYT is a big fish in the American media, though. Pretty cool for TTRPGers.

My original thought was, wow! D&D on the (virtual) front page of New York Times! We’ve come a long way since the early 80s is when I first learned to play!

Isn't he one of the original players/designers? If there is more to this issue, I am unaware of it.

For those who are interested, the NYT published a story about some of the changes to D&D's newest edition. Hopefully this link works! https://archive.is/z2q8s

I have the PDF; the book is on its way. Looking forward to giving it a noodle. I've always wanted to run a space RPG, but never could find the right thing for my tastes.
