    ToV Black Flag Playtest 2: Magic, Luck, Fighter, Wizards!

    Agreed. Champion, Open Hand, Hunter, Berserker. Just take the core features of the class and make them even better. Reading about Cantrip Adepts in Tome of Heroes now and, yeah, I like it. More cantrips, quicker cantrips, stronger cantrips, longer cantrips, EVEN STRONGER cantrips. If I were...

    D&D General How do you picture your D&D game in your mind?

    Ghibli with dashes of Adventure Time. Cartoony but relatively grounded. Much of Old School Essentials art strikes that balance. (Credit: Sam Mameli) If I were to compile my ideal setting, though, it's Eberron or New Capenna but lighter with drops of the Final Fantasies and, again, Miyazaki...

    'Flabbergasted!' Brings RPG Hijinks into the Roaring (19)20s!

    Yeah, I think CoC would be more your cuppa. Give Harlem Unbound and Cthulhu Britannica a look, I'm certain you'll find those interesting.

    'Flabbergasted!' Brings RPG Hijinks into the Roaring (19)20s!

    Exactly what I was hoping it would be. Definitely picking up, now.

    'Flabbergasted!' Brings RPG Hijinks into the Roaring (19)20s!

    I think "Jazz Age Slice-of-Life/Adventure-Comedy" will be the best descriptor, here.

    'Flabbergasted!' Brings RPG Hijinks into the Roaring (19)20s!

    Oh, this looks charming. I'll definitely be picking this up, eventually.

    D&D General New AD&D and Basic set D&D action figures.

    I wouldn't mind a figure of... Oh, what was her name. She was a cleric NPC in one of the EARLY intro adventures, mayor's daughter, tragically dies by the end... Oh, what was it...? AH-HA! ALEENA! She's been my go-to image of a Cleric for a while.

    Chaosium hinting at something big.

    And here I am, waiting for Gaslight, Dreamlands, Britannica, and World War Cthulhu 7th Edition... Oh well. Enjoy... whatever RuneQuest entails, folks. I need to actually read that Starter Set I got last month...

    D&D General What D&D Religion Is Your Favorite, And Why?

    That and the fact that Eberron has TWELVE (used to be thirteen) moons. There is rarely a time when at least one of them ISN'T full.

    Monte Cook teases The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game

    Same setting as BOTH TANNIS and Tapes. Actually didn't realize ALL three were connected.

    Monte Cook teases The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game

    First Old Gods of Appalachia and now Magnus? What's next, TANIS? The Black Tapes? Night Vale?!

    D&D General What D&D Religion Is Your Favorite, And Why?

    In terms of proper Churches: The Silver Flame. Always nice to have a major faith actually HELP the people. Plus, they're one of the few churches in the setting who can actually back their dogma up with some observable evidence. In terms of specific Deities: Murlynd: the White Paladin. Divine...

    Case Studies in Intellectual Property: Dick Tracy

    I wouldn't mind seeing them take another shot a Tracy. But I'm a Throwback Radio Drama nut (Dark Adventure Radio Theater, Thrilling Adventure Hour, Decoder Ring Theater, Batman: The Audio Adventures, Juno Steel) whose favorite childhood (pre-Harry Potter) films were Tracy, Annie, and Roger...

    D&D General Dark Sun fans: What are the essential elements of Dark Sun to you?

    I've never played in Dark Sun. But, given what I've absorbed from the Net over the years, the image I get is a "best of" blend of Zothique, Barsoom, Hyborea, and Mad Max's Australia.

    Magical Schools for the Greater Good

    Here's an RPG I found, recently. Spittlewick's: A Witchy RPG. Here, the school has SIX houses and is explicitly all-inclusive. Honestly, it looks cute, I need to give it a through readthrough.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Cypher System, Cities Without Number, Monster Rangers, and more

    Aw, these Monster Ranger books look like if Field Notes published an RPG 'zine. Which wouldn't be without precedent, FN has done some 5E accessories. Definitely keeping this charming game on my radar.
