Oh gosh, I'm terrible at this. This week's Weekly Update is out. News about the latest articles on Patreon, Character Sheets, The Broken World (free setting guide), Gen Con, Redbubble, and more. Preview of the Backgrounds (CC 5e version):

When I was in the high earners club, I supported CBS-whatever for years because I wanted new Trek. And then I got Discovery, which was (to be charitable) uneven, but that led to Strange New Worlds, which is the best Trek since Season 3-4 of The Next Generation. So, in the end, I won. (and so did...

If it is alright with the mods, I'll make one thread for the Weekly Updates and just bump it whenever there's a new release (hopefully every Tuesday). 27 June - 3 July Today, I've got news about Gen Con (demo seats going fast), new Patreon articles, the mysteries of paper sizes (US Letter vs...

I mean, yeah, they are not covering themselves in glory right now, but when you kick Drawmij out of the band, be prepared for him to Instantly Summon some anger. And there might be some dragons coming their way too.

The setting guide to Ashen Frontiers (post-apocalyptic fantasy) is now available on DriveThruRPG for free: https://drivethrurpg.com/product/442192. It provides an overview of the world, its peoples, places, magics, mysteries, and more. Preview:

Those are (mostly) good points. I work primarily with European publishers, who do their printing locally (for them), and am used to the 'wait three months for the cargo ship to make it across the Pond' part of the process. Printing domestically for a mostly domestic distribution makes sense...

Just skimmed the thread, but having watched the video, I think Chris is (mostly) right. He has a good point about the timeframes. Ha$bros is good about hiding the production end of things, with books magically appearing in stores and on DnDBeyond automagically it seems. But anyone who's shopped...

Just a minor bump to let folks know that I've updated all of the May articles due to the ongoing system/setting development work and also released the character sheet for both sets of rules (Pathfinder and 5e). The character sheets are free for everyone and you can get all of the articles for...

Not knowing why the villain is doing what they're doing is very different from the villain not knowing why they are doing what they are doing. Lots of folks twigged to her plan as soon as Xenk explained the process, and those that didn't still realised quicker than the protagonists did.

Click-baity and seems not interested in actually having paid attention to the damn movie: Sofina's motivations were unclear? Get the arena full of people, and turn them all into undead minions of her boss Thanos^H^H^H Szass Tam Weak story? I guess trying to save your dead wife and realising...

I browsed this thread all weekend, but am finally getting to a point where I can post. It's fairly clear that there are some folks who are invested in 'the movie was a flop' and won't be swayed by any information (or opinions) to the contrary. For myself, it was a darn fine movie, and perfect...

That is my precise hope for the future. If everyone looks at the market and decides 'in a crowded field, I need to pick an angle to stand out' then we will be fine. Players who want steampunk will select certain offerings, players who want high adventure fantasy will pick another, folks who want...

For absolute clarity, I agree with this common interpretation – I've done work for publishers where we released things like the Miniscule and Colossal size as Open Gaming Content along with monsters that had fluff (PI) and mechanics (OGL). But I've also worked on licensed properties where we...

I think that is gone and buried. Any sort of reaching across the aisle Ha$bros destroyed with their attempted OGL grab. That might now be the realm of 'What If?' alternate timelines.

That sounds like something DnD Beyond could easily (probably not, but it should be possible) do. It has all the variables, and just needs to crunch the numbers. It can't account for the 14-year-old at the table, saying 'I would like to Rage!' while charging the Ancient Red Dragon, or their...

Have you ever played 4e? Or Pathfinder 2e? There are reasons for why CR exists. It just wasn't done well in 2014 5e. (Or relied on other assumptions that most groups didn't use, like how 'Free Parking' ruins Monopoly because it keeps players in the game when they should be out, and the game...

There were people who claimed that Gutenberg ruined the 'personal' nature of the Bible by not having a human copy down each letter, like it had always been done. I'm coming up on 50. Using PDFs on a tablet or monitor is not always easy. But running a game from them via Discord, VTT, or other...
