    Game Mechanics And Player Agency

    I have no red line when it comes to this since it is set with each individual game. Some players don't mind it when the game throws things at them and they have to pick up after the outcomes, others want complete control of all things that can even remotely affect their control of their...

    News Digest: D&D Movie News, Paizo and Roll20 Partnership, Palladium Loses Robotech, and more!

    Part of me would love to see it have production values similar to the Netflix: Castlevania series of anime/animated mini series. Short stories might do better than the long plot that was the D&D cartoon though.

    Palladium Announces Collapse of Robotech RPG Tactics Kickstarter

    Robotech is not something I will ever invest in so long as Harmony Gold holds any rights. Right now they are still in court proceedings with both Piranha Games (mechwarrior online) and Harebrained Schemes (Battletech x-com type game) and do this every so often to 'protect their IP'. It's a...

    When the DM Isn't Invited

    What I found interesting was the middle ground that a game called Neverwinter Nights achieved. Not truly MMOs, but more 'massive' than a D&D party, there were several servers (some still running!) that had several DMs invisibly doing things to promote gameplay, roleplay and to represent anything...

    Just What IS The Fudge Roleplaying Game?

    I'm happy that Toy Vault was able to get the international shipping figured out for the Princess Bride RPG Kickstarter, hopefully it will bring Fudge back into folks vocabulary as you state.

    The Lazy Dungeon Master Returns! A Book Of Solid DM Advice

    I found out about this KS from the author himself via twitter. I've found Mike's advice from the first Lazy DM great and was happy to see another book like that one. The stretch goals are just icing on the cake and I really suggest folks pick this up!

    A Change Is Coming...

    Entertainment as advertisement. Let's use sports as an example. Matt Mercer is the Tom Brady of Streaming RPGs. Tom Brady sponsors things as advertisment (seen that mattress commercial sheesh) Matt Mercer and other streamers sponsor things all the time. It's the same kind of idea. Colville is...

    It's Time To Pre-Order Your Copy Of Into The Borderlands

    It's a collectors piece, plain and simple. I'm buying it because I want all the art in a book I can enjoy and I don't have the old originals (thanks mom :( ). I have kids I want to show the art to now and I want a physical book since the majority of my 5E content is also physical. I really...

    News Digest: Background Checks for WPN Volunteers and Store Employees, New D&D 5e Release Details, G

    I mean, it's about what Yawning Portal did, but you don't get the originals with Yawning Portal. I trust Goodman Games to do this well, their previous 5E products are proof of that. I do think this is more for a collector than anything though. I'm probably going to get it because of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Nathan Stewart Promises WotC will do something with new settings in 2018

    I personally just want them to release the other settings for use in DMsGuild. I don't think they are going to do anything with Greyhawk with their focus on FR, so why not allow folks to sell Greyhawk things via DMsGuild? Win-win for them as it keeps that old setting relevant AND makes them a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Translating d20 Conan to 5e?

    I was going to mention Primeval Thule as well, has the right aesthetic for Conan with minimal changes and is already set up for 5E.

    Here's A Look At The Cover Of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying 4th Edition!

    I like the throwbacks and hope this new version is a grim and perilous as the 1st and 2nd ed were.

    News Digest: Empyrea Canceled, New Stranger Things Game, Warhammer 40K Comics, and more!

    Ha, Forgotten Realms is ok, but it isn't for me and a lot of other folks that would love a refresh of the old setting. We already have one of the biggest shows using Pelor and Vecna after all lol.

    News Digest: Empyrea Canceled, New Stranger Things Game, Warhammer 40K Comics, and more!

    It's a pity, I want Greyhawk to be modernized, but with all these old ding-dongs associated with it I don't think it will ever happen.

    Delving Into Worlds Of Dungeon Fantasy With GURPS

    This is a more "dungeon bash/crawl" setup with lots of powers. The characters end up feeling like 7-9 level D&D 5E characters, which is what I think they were going for. You can easily limit the points and still use the templates they provide for the classes though. This plays out of the box...

    Pre-Order DLC comes to D&D with Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    This is another instance of D&D monetizing things through a third party rather than doing what most other companies do and offering their products as digital from the beginning. I wouldn't have a problem with it if they offered just digital books, but they don't and if you want them legally you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Pre-Order DLC comes to D&D with D&D Beyond and Xanathar's Guide to Everything pre-order

    This is another instance of D&D monetizing things through a third party rather than doing what most other companies do and offering their products as digital from the beginning. I wouldn't have a problem with it if they offered just digital books, but they don't and if you want them legally you...

    Pre-Order DLC comes to D&D with Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    It's stuff like this that is moving me away from 5E.
