    D&D General Are You Seriously Planning to Stop Playing and/or Running D&D Over The Recent OGL Developments?

    Wasn't able to play or run it much to begin with. I ain't buying anymore books from here on, though. Will still probably see the Movie and pick up BG3.

    Sale [Chaosium] 99c for the next 9 days – Basic Roleplaying's 'Big Gold Book'

    Grabbed the Gold Book, will probably grab the Sets soon (my card's almost empty). This is a proper steal.

    Vote For The Most Anticipated RPG of 2023!

    Nice to see SWAE getting a Horror Companion (plus East Texas U: Stranger Things Edition) (I need to grab the system books, eventually). But Mothership First Edition is the big one. Been waiting forever for that.

    Dragons & Treasures: A Young Adventurer's Guide Review

    I am glad Wizards themselves are really trying to keep new blood flowing in. Let's not have the medium sputter out with us (says the twenty-six-year-old). I need to have these books a perusal, especially with them on Kindle.

    Here Comes THE WALKING DEAD TTRPG!

    Well, Romero plus the "MOST deaths equal Zombie" and "No one knows what a zombie even IS" wrinkles.

    Rivers of London, RuneQuest Gods, Regency Cthulhu Coming Soon From Chaosium

    Just in time for Samhain. Nice. Also didn't know about that new Aqu. Inc. CoC session. Going to watch that.

    Spelljammer Pocket Spelljammer

    I'm thinking Demiplane, but the entrance is permanent and can be moved to any point in space from inside. Maybe the door is attached to a short, blue, obelisk about 5'x5'x9'?

    Spelljammer Spelljammer Academy: Get Free Spelljammer Adventures From D&D Beyond

    Oh yeah, Cubical 7's doing DW 5E... You've been to E-Space, now we're going to D&D-Space!

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Cartoon Character Miniatures Are Coming!

    Eh, I'd say you could balance the items. Hat of Wizardy is at common, the bow could just have the Repeating Shot infusion permanently on it, the shield could have Enhanced Defense, the staff is a combo of Rope of Mending and the Pole of Collapsing. They'd be SLIGHTLY above the standard power...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Cartoon Character Miniatures Are Coming!

    You deal Radiant damage while raging, effectively have Detect Good & Evil always on, and... I don't know, immunity to charms?

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Cartoon Character Miniatures Are Coming!

    Okay, Diana should have been a monk (the new outfit is a decent change, though. I was imagining a slightly disco-tinged Beau, anyway), Presto should be using his hat as his focus (which is a thing in 5E: Xanathar's Guide to Everything), Hank should be firing energy arrows, I'd have given Eric a...

    Alternative Superheroes

    Depends on your definition of 'superhero'. MOST of my characters end up as some form of detective, with the magic users leaning towards a less-angsty John Constantine. Hell, one (a Pallid Elf Tome-bound Warlock of the Fiend) sold his soul to a devil. Not as bad as you'd think, Ms. Erin Avarnum...

    Who Shot Elminster? No, It's the DALLAS RPG!

    My first thoughts are either Passions or Dark Shadows. At least those had supernatural elements.

    2400 & 24XX: a Beautiful, Three-Page, Micro RPG

    Oh hey, look. New book. You want to have combat in 24XX directly outlined for you and/or want a goofy, 'tournament arc', one-shot to run? Well, here you are.

    2400 & 24XX: a Beautiful, Three-Page, Micro RPG

    And yet another. If anyone was looking for an on-ramp from D&D/PF or a simple intro to Fantasy gaming, then today may be your lucky day.

    And there's another one...

    2400 & 24XX: a Beautiful, Three-Page, Micro RPG

    Its a wonder what you can squeeze onto three pages. I've been recently binge reading a growing series of tiny Indie RPGs from one Jason Tocci, simply titled 2400. These 15+, three-page-plus-cover, books are all settings for a very elegant system. Roll a 1d6. If hindered: downgrade and roll...

    Free Homeworld Quickstart From Modiphius

    Oh, neat. Never played the series, but I've seen a couple of reviews/essays on it. A rich setting to pull from. And I second giving stats to the Beast. If you've never seen the game... Its a... bioweapon. I'd rather not spoil its full MO... Give this and its following installment a watch...

    The Proper Use of Nudity in FRPG Art

    And, of course, Bards. Nothing but DM Fiat stopping them from making a form of Exotic Dance their performing art of choice.
