    Pathfinder 2 Preview: Downtime

    This is sounding more and more like 5e every day. Someone please remind me who the intended audience is and what differentiates this in any significant way from what is already out there. So if PF was 3.75, then this is... 5.1? I'm just not understanding the appeal.

    Second Dungeons & Dragons Product for Fall 2018: Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

    Waterdeep Heist had me intrigued. This has me rushing to pre-order both books!

    A Tale Of Two Bestiaries: Looking At The Fiend Folio And Creature Catalog In POD

    Fiend Folio grew on me over the years, to the point where I now prefer it to the original Monster Manual just due to the outright weirdness of some of the creatures.

    News Digest: Warhammer Adventures, Evil Hat Staff Changes, New GURPS Releases, and more

    I really don't understand Games Workshop. At all.

    Opening Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes

    Add both tortle entries to that list... but yes, I stand corrected!

    Opening Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes

    Interesting. I hadn't realized this was the case... though I am curious as to why. Then again, as a DM, my players will never be able to challenge what basically amount to deities in any case in actual combat, so there's that.

    Opening Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes

    I've not read it cover to cover yet, but I'm happy with what I've seen so far. My one complaint is the same complaint I had concerning Volo's - About a 4th (maybe more) of the monsters are reprints from other sources (Out of the Abyss, etc). I don't agree with the argument stating that this is a...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana May 2018: Centaurs and Minotaurs

    I just hope these become official at some point. In the meantime I'll continue to use the Midgard Heroes versions of these races as they seem both more interesting and address some of the inherent issues with playing centaurs in particular.

    "Immortal Fortress" - WotC Drops Clues About The Upcoming Storyline?

    You beat me to it! That area really serves no purpose in the overall adventure either other than a bit of odd flavor/fluff for mysterious Barovia.

    40 Years of Games Workshop Stores!

    Wow... "Killer" sounds like an absolutely horrible concept for a game!

    D&D 5E (2014) Mordenkainens starting to show up in the wild?

    The halflings in 5e are actually a return of sorts to their 1e and 2e forms (Hobbits). The only thing missing is the hairy feet. As for the book... well count me as one old grognard who can't wait! One more point I need to bring up: I've been playing D&D since 1979, and I will say quite...

    Take An Adventure In Dystopia With Palladium's Original After The Bomb

    I loved this so much. To me it was like Gamma World on steroids. TMNT and Other Strangeness was a fantastic game!

    Ever use Sleestaks in your campaign?

    12 years old! Judging from the old responses... news of the horrible 2009 version of Land of the Lost had not yet proliferated. Now the under 30 crowd is probably painfully aware of it.

    Ever use Sleestaks in your campaign?

    I'm seriously considering adding Altrusians/Sleestak to my Chult campaign. They made such a huge impression on my nightmares as a kid, and they would make a good substitute for some of the other standard evil humanoids. I'm going to stat them up for D&D Beyond!

    New Hobby Releases In Stores & PDF Spotlight: 9th April 2018

    Ack... I ordered it directly from Goodman. Oh well, guess I'll just wait. I think it's a little deceptive on their part though to call it a pre-order. It kind of comes with the expectation that it will be shipped out to me and others who pre-ordered at the same time, or even ahead of the ship to...

    New Hobby Releases In Stores & PDF Spotlight: 9th April 2018

    I pre-ordered Borderlands and don't have my copy yet... is this really out on store shelves already? I'll be a little disappointed if that is the case.

    D&D To Introduce Loot Boxes

    Same. This is the reason I avoid the Internet on April 1st.

    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    Just call the various humanoids "species" instead of race and it'll be fine. Within each species, break it down into cultures (in the case of humans) or even "sub-species" (in the case of elves for example with drow, sea elves, etc). I agree though... the term "race" could be replaced with...
