    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    Most States hopefully still teach history of the foundation of our nation and some of the important events that led to the Revolutionary War...like taxation without representation and the Boston Tea Party. That was my first knowledge. I also had to take Econ 101 and realize that's higher...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Yep, unfortunately, for now. We can't get political but I will emphasize the "for now" part.

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Combat Tedious on Purpose?

    I find it tedious BUT I think it depends on the group honestly more than other factors. I find many 5e groups I join to be tedious, very tedious. But I noticed it comes down to the players not knowing what their characters can do and or not preparing during others' turns. My steady group I play...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

    We don't need WotC to give us these "AI products" we can already do such things using the current offerings, most of which are improving very quickly. As for them using AI in end products, you get what you pay for and I sure as heck don't want to pay for that. I also have no interest in an AI...

    D&D 5E (2014) For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    I'm playing in two groups and DMing another. One group I play in is doing 2024 only, another is doing a hybrid. The game I DM we are keeping 2014 for the foreseeable future. We'll see what happens but truth be told I'm not excited enough to start reworking my campaign world and with limited time...
