    They might be looking to pushing more in connection with the physical release. Hopefully. I saw that they had uploaded part 1 of an actual play using the Delian Tomb (the adventure Matt designed in one of his videos as an example of "Look, it doesn't have to be more complex than this!"), both...

    Starfinder Player Core Review

    Solarion crystals seem to be specifically for the "built-in" weapon Solarions get as a class feature. Other classes will need to upgrade their weapons, but the system seems to support upgrading rather than getting a new one. I remember the playtest having runes, but apparently they did away...

    D&D General Garys House Tour

    I think this is a different house than the DHSM. This is where Gygax lived while D&D was taking form, while the DHSM was an office/shop TSR opened later in the 70s.

    For those trying to get super powers, note that the Winsome Wasp did not become empowered by being stung by a radioactive wasp. That was genetic/biochemical engineering and Pym particles.

    A lot of stuff has been going on in the 1½ years since they ran the crowdfunder, both in gaming and in the rest of the world. Plus they've not been very good at hyping it lately. Personally, I've started a Savage Worlds East Texas University campaign since then, and that's probably going to take...

    What are your thoughts on roll-under/roll-high mechanics?

    You engage with it the same way you do with a check in D&D, which is to say generally not unless there's some external mechanic that lets you do it (e.g. in D&D you have things like Bardic Inspiration that lets you retroactively mess with a roll). Some games that use Blackjack rolls do have ways...

    Maps Feature on D&D Beyond Becomes Free to Use

    The talk about D&D being undermonetized is a few years old, and I think Sigil was a reaction to it – "Hey, let's make a really shiny VTT that looks like a AAA computer game and where we can sell virtual minis and terrain and make AAAAALL the money." Turns out that doing that costs a lot of money...

    What are your thoughts on roll-under/roll-high mechanics?

    It's not a decision-making mechanic. It's a simple way of dealing with opposed rolls and quality-of-success. If you start with a linear roll-under system, it's easy to at first assume that the lower your roll, the better you did. Succeeding by 10 is better than succeeding by 2. If we're...

    What are your thoughts on roll-under/roll-high mechanics?

    Blackjack mechanics, when using a single die (d100 counts as single in this case) to create a uniform distribution, is basically just a simplification of using margins of success where you don't need to do any subtraction. For example, let's say you're using a d20-based roll-under system where...
