    D&D 5E (2024) The new warlock (Packet 7)

    Yeah, I have a Detective Warlock on file because ALL of those are pretty good for a PI in Waterdeep, as was everything the Pact of the Tome's cantrips and rituals could bring in.

    Modiphius, Star Trek: The Animated Series Supplemental Guide

    Nice, good to see even the more obscure section of the franchise get rep. Should combine well with the Lower Decks book, perhaps as a slightly more serious prequel...

    D&D 5E (2014) Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass

    Given one of the stated inspirations is Breath of the Wild, I presume it'll be a ratio leaning moderately towards non-combat activities. The east coast that's being consumed by "The Corruption' will likely be the dedicated "combat zone" you can actively seek out, but you'll probably want to stay...

    Paizo Announces Starfinder 2nd Edition

    Savage Starfinder would also be cool. How well HAS Savage Pathfinder done? Haven't been keeping close tabs on it.

    Steve Jackson Games Announces Munchkin Paranoia

    Neat. Having seen (but not owned) the Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40,000, and Pathfinder adaptations, I have high hopes for this. Actually owned Bites, but never had anyone to play it with.

    (Advanced) Double D6 - A New Micro-RPG I've Taken a Shine to.

    I mean, if you use ADD6's suggestion of using two differently colored d6's for the d66 tables, you may WANT to have 3d6 on hand. You just never ROLL 3d6.

    (Advanced) Double D6 - A New Micro-RPG I've Taken a Shine to.

    Here I am with another simple game I've recently picked up from Itch: Double D6 from Aether Corp Games. The name is pretty indicative of what you'll need to play: 2d6, paper, pen. Rolls (Resolution Roles or RRs) are 2d6 + Attribute + Skill (reminiscent of 5E). Attributes are the Standard Six...

    WotC WotC Adds 'Partnered Content' to DnDBeyond--Starting With Critical Role's Tal’dorei Campaign Setting

    Obvious Other Third-Party Books to Include: Keith Baker's Eberron material. Original Adventures Reincarnated from Goodman Games. Hamund's Harvesting Handbook from Jasmine Yang. Neverland, Oz, and (soon) Wonderland: A Fantasy Role-Playing Setting from Andrew Kolb and Andrews McMeel Publishing...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D's Classic Settings Are Not 'One Shots'

    No, but I'll almost certainly pick it up when it hits DriveThruRPG.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D's Classic Settings Are Not 'One Shots'

    And isn't Magitech the go-to term for Final Fantasy's aesthetic (apparently Final Fantasy VI coined the term). If cribbing off of Anime's notes is the best future for D&D...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D's Classic Settings Are Not 'One Shots'

    For the record: the proper term for Eberron's aesthetic (to the point that Eberron's player base likely coined it) is "Dungeonpunk". Because the technology being extrapolated to Science Fantasy proportions is specifically sufficiently-analyzed, D&D-style, magic. Dungeon Punk - TV Tropes

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Survey Feedback: Weapon Mastery Spectacular; Warlock and Wizard Mixed Reactions

    Or just ignore this OneDND business and fully move to the Creative Commons SRD as the "standard" foundation.

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Survey Feedback: Weapon Mastery Spectacular; Warlock and Wizard Mixed Reactions

    That could also work for Psychics... or Artificers... or even Ritual Casting...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Survey Feedback: Weapon Mastery Spectacular; Warlock and Wizard Mixed Reactions

    I've been using some homebrew from DNDWiki and that basically just moved the Arcane Focus to the "Class Features" section of the sheet. I agree on moving the spells with costed materials off of the Sorcs list, as well.

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    Moderately off topic: but did anyone ever pull anything like a Pathfinder or an Old-School Essentials with Fourth Edition? A distilled/upgraded version? The basic ideas appeal to be, but it sounds like the whole line was... inconsistent and under-polished.

    D&D 5E (2014) Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass

    I mean, if magic WAS a common thing in a Modern-Day-Earth-like setting, they would totally be putting mystic meal-replacement drinks (that also heal minor wounds) in the Coke machines. Or some lobby somewhere suppressing them into oblivion because leaving people starving is more profitable...
