Yes, I mean like Tomb of Horrors, White Plume Mountain, Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl, Hall of the Fire Giant King, Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan, and several others. You know, many of the foundational adventures of the game? As published, they don't...

Oh please, it wasn't a "failed attempt" at anything - Gamma World had already been out for years by the time this was published. This was a publication of a well-received tournament module, like many of the early adventures.

I think it's more subtle than that - GRRM has been running RPG's since the late 70's I believe, from fantasy to superheroes. That's where the Wild Cards books originated - in his home supers campaign that included several other writers. Since GoT came along much later I would assume there was...

D&D actually has two current MMORPGs as well - Neverwinter and Dungeons and Dragons Online, in addition to ongoing updates of the classics Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape, and their sequels. It's cool if you're not into them but they've been a successful thing for 20 or so years now just...

I ran Red Hand of Doom in 4E and placed it in Impiltur. It's not an exact geographic fit but the whole thing is in a small enough area it's really not that critical.

One of the things that was interesting to me about this original edition is that, like so many games that came out over the course of the first ten or fifteen years of game design is that the setting comes secondary to the rule. Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard this particular...

If this matters to you in some way that's great but keep in mind some of us were playing it for years before "The Known World" even existed. So retroactive canon is sort of revisionist history as far as I am concerned. There is nothing inside B1 in any printing that I am aware of that refers to...

Solve two problems at once - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/643710787/stat-trackers-a-gm-accessory-for-5e-dungeons-and-d They are incredibly useful - glad I backed the Kickstarter but you should be able to order them separately now.

It's amazing that people writing or commenting about a Pathfinder announcement seem to have little knowledge of the game. "Ultimate Campaign" came out in 2013 so it's been a published Pathfinder thing for 5 years now. It's 50+ pages of systems on how to make money or build things or accomplish...

I'm with you on this - "replayability" usually means wait a few years and play it with a different group. I suspect in this case it's more about providing options for the DM to tweak it to their personal preferences while still providing stats and guidance. There is also the thought that this...

Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, ICONS, Hero System has had them before, Mutants and Masterminds has been doing for all 3 editions ... Any system that adapts a third party license of some sort is allowing those third parties to publish supporting material. It got to be fairly popular since the OGL...

Thanks for this - the power of the internet is demonstrated once again!

0 level characters were never particularly popular as a whole. Certain groups or individual players thought they were great but mostly what they did was extend the amount of time you spent playing an incompetent, fragile, character with little combat power or magic ability and that's really not...

Big-name licensing has been tricky in the RPG world for a long time and I suspect that's a factor here too - on top of the author's rejection, of course. - In the middle of Lord of the Rings movies we had the one short-lived Decipher RPG and then nothing for 7-8 years. - In the middle of the...

If you're interested just get an original Rifts book (cheaper usually) or Ultimate Rifts (more up to date) and they cover the breadth of the setting pretty well. Most later books are either regional guides like Germany or Japan or Australia or metaplot updates like the war updates. I'd say...

So what's the story here? Over at Tenkar's Tavern they have looked at Feedspot and it appears you have to pay to receive this "award". Comments?

This article is all over the place. What does the pre-AD&D living campaign effort have to do with a future D&D movie? Any movie shared-universe effort is copying Marvel, not RPG campaign organization methods. Additionally, the fragmentation of the player base between multiple campaign worlds has...

A fun question - I think the answer is "Not as much as people have been trying to sell us on for the last 25 years" :D People have been doing D&D things on computers since the very early days. A lot of us were writing character generators, sheet generators, or encounter tables in BASIC on...

No, it's a completely reasonable position that's been part of RPG's since the first supplements came out. There were DM's who didn't allow Eldritch Wizardry, Greyhawk, or Blackmoor in their OD&D games because they didn't have them, hadn't read them yet, or didn't like what they saw. A DM is...
