    World of Design: Flipping the Hourglass

    Setting Creation/World Building is fun - I loved the charts in the back of the DMG 1e and in my Traveller sets, and as a youth with more time than sense spent many a dreamy hour imaging the world. But for play purposes, I focus on the here and now like someone said up thread - a town, some...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Unfortunately, I am reading out of the doorstopper "all the Earthsea, and Charles Vess too" 1000+ page tome. That said, Tehanu is not massive. And starts off strong.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Also notionally reading Tehanu, although I keep getting distracted by mysteries and Patricia McKillip... But if you are reading, I'll do a co-read alongside. It'll get me to finish before the book is due back at the library. And when you say "autumnal" do you mean related to the fall? Or as in...

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Except this is ENWorld. I would expect to see an announcement of the announcement, and perhaps even an announcement of the announcement. Otherwise my faith in ENWorldia will be over

    Traveller: the iconic science fiction roleplaying game

    I have to agree. I have Deepnight Revelation, and the entire time I was reading it (and I read it all!) I kept thinking - wow some bullet points, some bolding of the important information; as well as other more modern RPG adventure design principles would be nice. If I was to run it (I probably...

    RPG Evolution: Minor Inconveniences

    Poison Oak in your nethers... Just watch where you're "going"! (this is not from personal experience. No really...!)

    Traveller: the iconic science fiction roleplaying game

    Good episode @tabletopjess. Really interested in Pioneer - Traveller system seems like it would be a good fit. And I've got a mate who was in our MegaTraveller game who loved Dark Conspiracy. She's not so into ttRPGs anymore - maybe this'll be the work that brings her back! Does Enemy Within...

    Josh Fox Sends Players Into the Darkness of Ex Tenebris

    I love this new approach to RPG mysteries. Neither Brindlewood Bay and Gumshoe worked for our group; this may be a better approach. Also, the Republic of Stars seems like a cool setting. Wish 40k would adopt it for one of their armies. The unremitting fascism and authoritarianism gets...

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    Two books into Campion and I feel like it even leans towards slapstick. But both of the novels so far have had a big brawl towards the end, so I guess that's leaning more pulp.

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    Oh, thanks for the write-up of Oracle of War. Now even more interested... I wonder why WotC wouldn't just take that storyline that they already have, polish it up, and publish it.

    RPG Evolution: Weight, What?

    Fighting with huge packs seems like it would be a pain. And if you've got anything you want in combat packed in your backpack, it'd be at least a full action, maybe 2 to get it out. Now is that fun? Maybe for some groups. I'm on the fence. Not for heroic exploration and encounters like D&D. But...
