    What are you reading in 2025?

    I just finished reading Maxwell Alexander Drake's 2024 "HârnWorld History Novella," Carnage of Kiraz. I became interested in Hârn several years ago, when I attended a seminar at Gen Con about the setting. I was drawn in largely by the low-fantasy nature of the world, as well as how a...

    D&D General Kingdoms of Kalamar vs Greyhawk? And any good modules?

    Kalamar's equipment book, Goods and Gear: The Ultimate Adventurer's Guide (affiliate link), was a truly excellent resource. I'd say it was the best such book in the whole of the 3.X market. Not only did it cover weapons and armor, but it showcased a lot of mundane items that fleshed out the...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I picked up Orphaned Bookworm Productions' PF1 supplement Read Magic - Alternative Spells I (affiliate link), and while I didn't dislike it, I nevertheless found myself a touch disappointed. Rather than bury the lede, I'll come out and say what my issue was here: a significant number of these...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I just finished reading Django Wexler's 2024 novel Spelljammer: Memory's Wake, and my immediate impression is that it's...okay, but decidedly imperfect. To be clear, nothing here is bad per se. The story's plot holds together well enough, the characterizations—while never deep—do an decent job...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    On a whim, I just read Edgar Allan Poe's 1845 short story, The Imp of the Perverse. I'd been familiar with this turn of phrase—denoting the urge that we've all felt at one time or another to do something detrimental to us, for seemingly no good reason except that we know it will harm us—for...

    D&D General Nolzur creates inclusive miniatures, people can't handle it.

    AD&D 2E Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play AD&D 2E? How Was/Is It?

    I think this is true for any TTRPG that can be characterized as "combat algebra." In my PF1 group, there's always one (sometimes two) players who ask me to do the math for them, despite having played for years.

    Sequel game systems?

    An interesting notation is that Pathfinder 2nd Edition could be considered a sequel to Pathfinder 1st Edition due to the campaign world (Golarion) being presented in PF2 as if all of the adventure paths written for PF1 had already happened. A fun little side note is that, while there was no...

    Sequel game systems?

    There's a notation in AD&D 2E's Arcane Age: Netheril: Empire of Magic (affiliate link) which says that you should use its alternate rules for the Forgotten Realms campaign setting prior to the Fall of Netheril, after which you should use AD&D 1E up until the Time of Troubles (which were a...
