Already more pledged than the Humblewood adventure book. Tracking about $200k ahead of where the Humblewood campaign setting was at the equivalent time too, although that campaign got a big surge of publicity and support in the last week or so, so might not be directly comparable.

I (Australian) travelled to the northern USA this year and one of my missions was to try as many of the quaint local foodstuffs of the region as possible. Malort was, alas, one I missed out on, along with collard greens and the Juicy Lucy.

Only played BG1. First time round i played a wizard, the group was Imoen, Ajantis, Khalid, Viconia, and Xan (Jaheira died early, and Minsc left when i didn't have room in the party for Dynaheir once i rescued her). Having Viconia and a paladin in the same group was ... challenging, but there...

The Cha class is going to be Personality, with subclass options that emphasise different aspects of Charisma-ing (military leadership, cha-fueled magic, inspiration, interpersonal manipulation, firebrand preaching, etc etc). Probably a 2-dimensional matrix to allow for customisation, like the...

I ran a bad PC in a recent game. PC was an alchemist artificer, in a Tomb of Annihilation campaign. Stats were rolled, and I didn't roll particularly well. I was a support class (and a mostly out-of-combat support class at that!) in a game where the DM was largely shuffling us from random...

Yeah, I've been waiting for something like this for aaaages. (Pleasepleaseplease don't use AI art and force me to boycott you...)

If this is what Chris Cocks was talking about when he said 'the D&D brand is undermonetised' then my worry about the implications of that statement is slowly but inexorably being replaced by contempt. Whacking the D& logo on every irrelevant tchotchke imaginable ain't gonna reverse Hasbro's...

Oh god yes, give me the special edition dvd with director’s commentary pleeeease.

I heartily approve of this topic, for what it's worth. The four classical elements are WAY overdone in D&D. Not just the elementals and the elemental planes, but they're splattered all over genies, and giants, and even the very concept of chaos now. It'd be great to see something different, a...

I've messed with this idea a lot actually, in a long-term project of mine which is a re-jigging of Ravenloft into Regency/Napoleonic era England (happy to drop my WiP rules in here, if you're interested). It's a worthy idea, but it does run pretty hard into some of the base assumptions of 5e...

Experimental Elixir to get +1 AC, plus Enhanced Defence infused armour and Repulsion Shield infused shield is the normal recipe as i understand it, for +3 in total over standard at level 6. And of course the SERIOUS optimisers will do all sorts of silly stuff with multiclassing into Forge...

Is this available anywhere for non-backers yet? I looked around but all i could find was the three-level sample on the kickstarter page.

I read on a Dragonlance FB group that W&H wanted Summer Flame to be an entire trilogy, but TSR were desperate for money and said no, so three books of plot was unsatisfyingly crammed into one novel. Which i've never quite understood, surely TSR could have made more money out of three novels...

Argh, I didn't catch that, you're right of course. So wearing armour and infusing the shield is the only option there.

That's actually a much more accurate statement of the problem than mine. The alchemist badly, badly needs a couple of solid workhorse combat options that aren't just 'cantrip'. I mean, i found myself routinely using a completely unmodified and un-infused crossbow at level 4. It's got a wide...

From admittedly little hands-on experience (I played an alchemist to 4th level once, and my current campaign has a 1st level artificer with alchemist on his mind) I'd argue that the major weakness of the class is when it comes to actual in-combat options to put the hurt on someone. I mean, it's...

Some of my very favourite Ravenloft material was the 3rd Ed gazetteers which really made the place feel lived in and real. But there was some dreadful drek published in that era too - the players option books Heroes of Light and especially Champions of Darkness being right at the top (bottom?)...

You don't have to remove the darklords, just not make them the focus of every adventure. As a Ravenloft fan who was hugely influenced by the old Van Richten's Guides and the Arthaus-era Gazeteers, I'm a big proponent of running less-darklord-centric adventures in Ravenloft. They make the world...

Flicking through the quickstart on this, as I'm getting to the last half day or so of the kickstarter and I'll have to decide whether or not to back. It's 3e M&M, but definitely gets a bit of a 5e blood transfusion. Advantage/disadvantage (ahem, I mean bonus/penalty dice) are in, Reactions are...
