    Interested to see where this goes - by far the most 3rd party things I bought have been from Kobold press both during 4e days and since the switch to 5e

    D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

    For now I suspect my group would rather stay with 5e and I plan to mainly rely on homebrew and 3rd party stuff I have or can continue to get depending on how the OGL situation goes. I Depending on how things shake out and what OGL-based things are able to stick around I think I'm looking at the...

    WotC non-OGL alternative to D&D

    They have a deal with OneBookShelf similar to the DMs Guild, but no open license as far as I'm aware. https://support.drivethrurpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037116592

    Stop telling me to boycott WotC. If you support open gaming, tell who to support. (+ thread)

    A few of the open systems I'm aware of Blades in the Dark - creative commons by attribution Mork Borg - uses own license that is basically saying you're free to use it as you want other than using actual art assets or making it seem like it's officially endorsed, as well as banning NFTs based on...

    RPG Freebies, Bundles, and Sales News (December 11, 2022)

    Since I find the mechanics clunky if I can ever convince my group to play Shadowrun I've thought I'd probably hack the Leverage Cortex rpg. I was surprised when I looked to see if anybody had already done the same thing and couldn't find anything as of a few years back. My simple thought was to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Roll20 content available on DMSGuild February 2023

    With the caveat that I haven't really used Fantasy Grounds - but my impression was it's able to import files from the user, so the things on DMs guild are just distributing those files and doesn't need anything from Fantasy Grounds' end. This seems to be more coupling DMs Guild with the Roll20...

    D&D 5E (2014) Pick an Archetype

    Artificer: If allowing 3rd party sources I'd go with the Forge Adept from Exploring Eberron, otherwise Armorer Barbarian: Ancestral Guardian, I like the flavor of connection to ancestry strengthening you. Bard: Swords - lends itself to kind of swashbuckler flavor I like when I play a bard...

    Modiphius' Conan TTRPG Is Ending

    You're the one that seems to be suggesting the French-based company with a French audience should alienate that fanbase by trying to compete for the American audience using a system they don't generally publish.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tell me why your favorite MtG setting would be great in D&D [+]

    As I said, I'm not too up on the lore details, but basic idea is the original timeline had extinct dragons, with 5 rival clans. A planeswalker traveled in team to ensure the dragons survived, which led to them defeating the khans, and in the present day Tarkir is ruled by 5 elder dragons

    D&D 5E (2014) Tell me why your favorite MtG setting would be great in D&D [+]

    Not sure if I'd call Tarkir my favorite since it came out while I had lapsed being involved with magic, but I'd be really interested to see them do something with it. First, Tarkir is inspired by cultures that tend to be less represented among fantasy settings. Second, the canonical...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Playtest Packet #1 Speculation

    I think changes to crits except for player only change, other changes to crits that I think might be not be accepted are inspiration on crit and weapon-only, but expect them to go through. Changes to backgrounds will probably stick around. Feats in background will stay, though we I expect to see...

    D&D General Gen Con, Daisy, Sleeping in the Lobby and All That

    I missed it, but heard from some discussion that seemed to suggest she initially minimized the situation before the victims had a chance to come forward (which was what prompted some to go public when they initially wanted to let GenCon deal with the report before making public statements if at...
