The ability to create memorable stories in good company.

Devabhumi is a 5th Edition D&D/Pathfinder 2e setting based off of the myths and legends of Ancient India. Its author, Khanjan Patel, is of Indian origin.

Monsters is our final chapter of Devabhumi, with 29 unique stat blocks, two of which are repeated entries for mounts from the prior chapter: the Gajasimha and Makara, to be specific. When it comes to type, the most common is fiend standing at 9, followed by Monstrosity and Undead at 5 each. We...

Well now, this old thread has sure aged well!

The worst RPG ever made.

Character Creation is a brief overview that summarizes the following chapters. I should also note that all of the content in this post (minus the Astras) are also available in the Devabhumi Player’s Guide, which also includes the History of Devabhumi and People of Devabhumi chapters in addition...

Those PDFs will be NFTs.

Blue Rose Artwork source is self-explanatory Dating back to 2005, Blue Rose got its start as a setting inspired by romantic fantasy novels such as the work of Mercedes Lackey. Instead of using 3rd Edition D&D, it had its own rules-medium toolkit known as True20, which spun off into its own...

You can see a full-sized map on Reddit. Whereas our prior post looked at Devabhumi on a subcontinental and then regional level, Cities goes even smaller scope by detailing two major population centers. The first is Hastinapur, the capital of the Kuru Kingdom. It is one of the largest...

Drive-Thru RPG Store Page Itch.io Store Page The history and legends of the Indian subcontinent are full of material suitable for heroic fantasy, from the dynastic wars of the Mahabharata to the fearsome tales of asuras in their endless struggle against the devas. Such things did not escape...

I saw the video. It's pretty bad faith and if posted here would run afoul of EN World's rules regarding anti-inclusive content. He more or less presents Grummz and Musk's statements read out loud, and when showing his detractors he shows them briefly in text but doesn't read it in full. For...

I can understand how my use of "father of RPGs" can be off-putting to non-Americans. But I still feel that it's in line with the pedestal many put Gary Gygax on, and you can see even in this thread and the wider hobby at large people having legitimate difficulty with acknowledging his flaws...

This is something I wanted to touch, as while I have browsed this thread there is a deeper problem related to the sexism conversation I feel bears focus. The talk of "slave girls," "raping and pillaging," and similar quoted stuff in the text are pretty much him saying "you wanna see misogyny...

In light of the tabletop exodus, I figured that the creation of an appropriate hashtag can help drive engagement and bring people together. I made a #dndreadingclub hashtag, covering various 5e/OSR (and possibly Pathfinder) products I've read over the course of 2024. I covered 4 such books...

Thirsty Sword Lesbians was brought up earlier by Whizbang Dustyboots. It's a pretty well-regarded Powered by the Apocalypse RPG , and I briefly played in a campaign of it. Keyword briefly, as I didn't get into it enough to really appraise it on the mechanics side of things, but if you played...

The fact that Musk is still the richest man in the world at the time of this posting is the best evidence that we're living in the simulation of a dark comedy.

I kind of like how 3 out of the 5 races are the kinds typically chosen by players who want an edgy PC with a dark past. May not be classically gothic, but on the other hand they are close to choices I'd see for people hearing that the DM wants to run a horror/dark fantasy campaign.

Product Link Product Type: DMing Tools CoS-Required? Yes Earlier in this thread we covered She Is the Ancient, which built off the idea of making Strahd Von Zarovich a woman and the implications this entails for a campaign. Although far from the only gamer to do this, turning this idea into a...

Product Link Product Type: Character Options CoS-Required? No The Tarokka deck has a special place in the broader Ravenloft universe. Originating as a means to generate treasure and character placement in the Castle Ravenloft modules, the Tarokka has expanded to other uses, such as the...

Product Link Product Type: Character Options CoS-Required? Game mechanics no, everything else yes Curse of Strahd is rather light on magic items, particularly in regards to magic weapons. It’s likely that the Sun Blade will be the only one many gaming groups ever see. Vestigial Appendages adds...
