    D&D 5E (2024) Polygon takes shots at WotC & D&D

    The premise for the piece is a bit tortured. BUT this part: l. Project Sigil, the highly anticipated Unreal Engine-powered virtual tabletop, hasn’t been seen much in public since August, when it bugged out repeatedly on stage during a game run by Aabria Iyengar. Later, at a live event in...

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's talk about the Rules Glossary in the PHB

    I have mixed feelings. But it does allow for a relatively concise easy to read how to play section at the the start of the PHB. It would get much heavier if all the details of the glossary were included.

    D&D 5E (2024) Help Me Hate Monks (Less Than I Currently Do)

    I don't think there is an obligation to include anything in one's fantasy adventures that one does not wish to include.

    This is just trolling. Or is it turteling?

    RPG Print News – RPGs I’ve Run Through The End of 2024

    the d20 Cthulhu book is actually really good. Its just that BRP CoC is also really good. There are worse problems to have.

    Elric of Melnibone

    And there is the “multiverse”, created by Moorcock and an integral part of the Elric stories.

    D&D General “‘Scantily Clad and Well Proportioned’: Sexism and Gender Stereotyping in the Gaming Worlds of TSR and Dungeons & Dragons.”

    Sexy fantasy art is great, and being sexy is the fantasy for many. But yes early D&D was asymmetric, with males almost always dressed and armored in more practical terms.

    "The Customer Is Always Right"

    It’s the holiday season! A time when retail unpleasantness reaches its peak. I have been on both sides of it. Fortunately it’s been a long time since.

    Hasbro Stock Price Surges After Elon Musk Makes Comments About Purchasing Company

    I have been having whiplash going back forth between RL news and here. There seems to be no escaping.... But sure, why not throw a few more toys in the toy chest.

    Old Man Wants to Play Online

    Following up on the last post. In terms of finding games and players, Roll20 does have a built in system. I just checked, there are openings for AD&D and Old School Essentials/B/X.

    D&D General What is your most prized Dungeons and Dragons Product?

    It should be my original basic set, but given how I treated it, apparently not. (And what happened to my expert set still pisses me off). I also like my OD&D stuff, but I got it much later. That leaves my original Deities and Demigods, Fiend Folio, and Dungeon Masters Guide. Original Ravenloft...

    D&D General Starter vs Essentials vs Stormwreck Isle

    This is very useful. But! I always start at level 1. Running LMoP the second time.

    Best wuxia RPG?

    In terms of archetypal work, Bride with White Hair would be my choice, but there are many, many others. I know Feng Shui the RPG exists, but don't know much about it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Another new interview with Perkins & Wyatt about the 2024 DMG

    6 pages in and NO posts about the actual video? Oh that is impressive. (Experienced DMs, and the 2014 DMG, do come up in the actual video).

    D&D 5E (2024) Dungeon Master's Guide Previews: Campaigns & Adventures

    A lot of back and forth on essentially having a plan for an adventure, or a campaign, and the players then going off-plan. “Invisible railroad” is even mentioned. (and bump).

    Dragon Reflections #83

    An epic issue. I have also run the version of the hut from it. (with some specific goals). All time great.

    Chris Perkins and James Wyatt Answer Burning Questions About the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide

    Helpfull NPCs are touched on the “Adventures” video. Of course that’s not the same as a full retainer system.

    Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks Coming to America via Steve Jackson Games

    But they are doing because of the name. It’s a very SJG thing to do.
