I have a player who wants to play an elf barbarian (or at least a primal instinctual woodland warrior - PC is a kagonesti in a dragonlance game) but more a fast and graceful fighter rather than a high-Str beefcake. So, Dex. Barbarian is obviously built on the assumption of high Str, and there’s...

Shipping costs to us here Australia can be brutal, but to be honest, that's true for non-kickstarter purchases too, and the market here is small enough that we don't really have many local game stores that stock small-run products so you're going to be paying the shipping one way or another...

First of all, is the NPC actually ready and prepared to sacrifice themselves? Do they know what's coming? Because if not, that could be one way to do things. Have the PCs hold off all sorts of bad guys while the NPC wrestles with their internal demons (probably in visible dreamscape form so...

I was looking for a low-level one-shot recently and i considered this one, but eventually knocked it back because i had a major problem with I ended up going with modified Wolves of Welton instead.

I hope so, but it really seems like it's been on the backburner for a long time now. When was the last actual Midgard product? Was it Southlands maybe? Wastes of Chaos had some Midgardy stuff in it, but it wasn't really a setting book, more of a chaos-themed toolkit. The patreon (which...

I predict that people will get upset on ENWorld.

Caleb, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Renfield, from Dracula. Mr Morden, from Babylon 5. Arguably Londo, too. Anyone currently merged with the Venom symbiont. Quite a number of Lovecraftian bad guys. The Scorpion King, from the Mummy films. (Presumably one of his patron’s curses involves...

I suspect it probably didn't even occur to them. 3e is nearly 15 years old now, the OGL was still seen as pretty much rock-solid at the time it was first published (and in the wake of WotC trying shenanigans with the GSL around that time, GR withdrawing from the OGL would probably not have been...

They've said that it'll be entirely based on the existing 3rd ed system. Hopefully they'll tidy up some sore points, like the overpricedness of Shrinking, the messiness of Affliction, and the lack of anything resembling 2e's Independent modifier, which sorely limits the flexibility of the...

Oh, also : show some damn restraint when it comes to backing rpg kickstarters. Or at least hold back on going the hardcopy version and go for the pdf once in a while. I’ve got probably two dozen hardback pledges pending (some of which are big multibook packages), and have a bit of buyers remorse...

In Kaz's novel, he fought a dragon made of stone, though i remember almost none of the details. This is the original cover art from that book.

Stop planning campaigns that I might possibly one day run, and get off my butt and run one. So far so good - session 0 of Dragonlance: the Oath and the Shadow is scheduled for January 9…

And then you inevitably become primarily a video game company rather than a tabletop game company, simply because making high-quality modern video games is such a personnel-heavy, slow, and expensive business compared to making RPGs (or Warhammer, for instance). If you don't, you end up having...

At the time of the Hasbro acquisition, Kickstarter didn't even exist of course. And that business strategy has been a mixed blessing for WW/Onyx Path. You can produce some great products without being beholden to spome corporate overlord that sees you as a line item on a balance sheet, but its...

Nah, sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the likely polarised reception of the film given the guy who’s making it. The corporate scumbaggery leading up to the lawsuit would have been a nightmare surprise for anyone.

I've unfortunately lost the link, but wasn't there an online article a while ago basically doing a Ben Riggs on Adkinson and WotC? It sounded like he had few alternatives but to sell, he was still running the thing like a 'bunch of gaming buddies' organisation even quite late in the piece, and...

That's a Dark Gift from VRGtR, in my book. Or at least that's how I'm going to handle it in my game...

There'll be people who are upvoting this film on Rotten Tomatoes because it's Zach Snyder making it, there'll be people downvoting it on Rotten Tomatoes because it's Zach Snyder making it. Very few people have neutral view of Zach Snyder. Speaking for myself, I'm very unlikely to even bother...

For what it’s worth, the guy responsible for the whole mess with the Weis/Hickman lawsuit (and other debacles such as the whiplash-inducing queer erasure in the MtG War of the Spark novels) actually WAS let go from WotC, a long time ago, immediately after the dragonlance lawsuit settled I...
