    D&D General Silly Campaign Idea: The All Kobold Party

    I think that playing kobolds is a common trope in PF2e, I've even seen evidence of entire kobold parties over the years. So it's not as silly as you think....

    Worlds of Design: Story vs. Gameplay

    I kind of think it "depends", there is no formula for a good game, otherwise companies like EA and Ubisoft wouldn't be in so much trouble these days... They would just use the 'formula' to kick out Bangers. I even suspect that it really depends on what kind of game you're making. And while...

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Are you sure? There are an awful lot of Terry Pratchett fans on here... ;)

    Netheril's Fall - First Impressions

    Kind of depends. Monsters like the Drow statblock in FR: Adventures in Faerun could aslo be years of gameplay if the campaign is Drow or Underdark focused. And an adventure like Dungeon of the Mad Mage is also years of gameplay. It all depends.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Some people here think the world is flat, that doesn't mean they are right... People can think things all they want, that doesn't mean that the reality will change that the rest of us live in. The question with LLM is if it ever will become what certain other people promise it's going to be...

    DMs Guild [Design Notes] Forgotten Realms Travel Guide: Faerûn, Kara-Tur, and Zakhara

    What you could do is make a separate pdf with just the vector maps for printing. You might also want to look at Affinity (previously Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher), that's been released for free (previously paid) and it's got a 'Publisher' mode that will act as DTP (DeskTop Publishing)...

    DMs Guild [Design Notes] Forgotten Realms Travel Guide: Faerûn, Kara-Tur, and Zakhara

    Congrats! The sample looks good, the maps look good enough and $14 is a great price for 700 pages of content. I've wishlisted it for later purchase (currently already working/reading too many thing). While I do like your maps, I strongly dislike the illustration you showed earlier in this...

    D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

    Whoopsie! I knew this, as they mentioned this in one of their videos. I suddenly feel like an American... "In the country of Europe..." ;)

    [Old school] I can't deal with inventory

    I love equipment, not the weight management or the Tetris game you play to make everything fit, but what you can do with it in a given situation. While I'm not into Old School, I do play and DM D&D5e, as a player I love bags of holding, both as storage and as a weapon. But as a DM I tend to...

    D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

    Cubicle 7 and Modiphus are both based in the UK, so primarily English product. Free League is Swedish, but produces mostly English (licensed) works. FL apparently prints their books in Eastern Europe, so not that strange that they would show up earlier in Europe then in the US. C7 apparently...

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Generally yes, but not enough, that's why we create new jobs. Did the Doordash delivery person exist in 2010? Did the YouTuber exist before 2000? These things might be the most known inconsequential jobs, but there are so many others less known, but way more important. People also act as if...

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    The whole quote: "it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail." It's not for nothing that there's a 150+ year old term for it, a "Birmingham screwdriver". More info: Law of the instrument - Wikipedia Just because people (should) know better...

    D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

    That's because most pnp rpg companies are local companies, be that in the US or in Europe. But WotC/Hasbro isn't, it's a multinational, and while it might be American, they are active all over the world. This is weird and the political situation shouldn't be an issue either, as they have...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    That's not true. An app is as good as the code/developer is, and many, many desktop application developers make horribly inefficient applications that are a pain to run. On the other hand, there are web apps that are more performant then equivalent desktop apps. Of course you can say that if you...

    RPG Evolution: Nothing Goes to Waste

    I can already see kobold lampshades, goblin overcoats, and lizardfolk boots showing up. For dinner some Orc meatballs and on the trail some gnoll jerky. Hi, my name is Hannibal Lector the adventurer! ;)

    D&D General What’s the Real Hellfire Club?

    It was also mentioned in Black Adder: It's mentioned in Dr. Who, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it used/mentioned in other tv-series and books.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    What I'm saying is that WotC did something new, and imho it wasn't the runaway success everyone expected. Two editions later it's just a core book and a future class expansion book. Compare to all the FR books that have been released, the old rehashed stuff that's most certainly not new. And D&D...

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    How well was Ebberon received? Sure it got a book in 5e, but so did certain podcasts... The next Ebberon book was pushed back to be released sometime after the new FR books... I own most if not all 3e/4e Ebberon RPG books, and I was never really inspired to run anything in there. The idea is...
