    Spoiler: In the latest Neverwinter module, Gromph Baenre is again involved, and another spell seems to have been cast, impacting Menzoberranzan.

    D&D General Demonweb Pits!? Neverwinter the cg is going there. Could that mean the RPG is?

    Should it be of interest, I should add that I've been slowly and steadily capturing the Lore of Neverwinter, including the old and current Drow storylines. I do this because I find the lore interesting, but also because the visuals can be amazing fodder for DM creativity. It try to highlight...

    D&D General Demonweb Pits!? Neverwinter the cg is going there. Could that mean the RPG is?

    The Neverwinter team has done a nice job of integrating Out of the Abyss and the novels. They worked directly with R.A. Salvatore and his son to build the narrative. Lots of appearances from novel NPCs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Amazon US book sales rank.

    And I would point out that those huge 5E sales were bested by one other Wizards of the Coast RPG, as I write here!

    The Lazy DM's Forge of Foes for 5e: An Interview With Mike Shea, Teos Abadía, and Scott Fitzgerald Gray (Sly Flourish)

    Oh, wow. I'll see if Mike and Scott will share theirs. From the parts I wrote, I really like the section on Building Engaging Encounters. I think it really speaks to the heart of how to make encounters fun. I break down the types of elements you can have in an encounter, and how to help those...

    The Lazy DM's Forge of Foes for 5e: An Interview With Mike Shea, Teos Abadía, and Scott Fitzgerald Gray (Sly Flourish)

    Awesome! In this video I walked through using Monster Powers, and I did an example with Fate (a very open system where monsters are super simple), with Shadowdark, and even with vampires in the Gumshoe system Night's Black Agents (a favorite of mine). I could easily do this with Feng Shui, 13th...

    In all seriousness, as one of the three writers, please post here if you have any questions. Thanks for backing and/or sharing the project with friends. It means a lot to us and goes a long way towards how quickly we can make future projects!

    D&D General Forge of Foes from Mike Shea, Teos Abadia, and Scott F. Gray!

    Much appreciated! As you will see when the page goes live, we do have some easy drop-in features. We don't have a software angle, but there is a future project that could be added if this does well that may help in similar fashion. (Sorry, I can't spill the beans yet! Details soon!)

    Kyle Brink Interviewed by Teos Abadia (Alphastream) on OGL, WotC, & D&D

    Greatly appreciated! And thanks to Morrus on the awesome summary. I work with a lot of corporations, so I understand that this is PR while also being a great way to better understand what took place and how WotC operates. It hopefully now clarifies that this project was underway for a long time...

    I just listened to the latest Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk Podcast, and no spoilers, but I want to thank our unbelievable fans, congratulate and thank any podcast defeating us, and encourage any podcast that was below ours and has Morrus on it. I'm kidding! Sincere thanks for the kind...

    DriveThruRPG numbers for 2022

    Fascinating! But, is this saying that if there was growth due to the pandemic... it only had an impact during three months? Or, that if it was an impact, other than the three months, that impact was really small? That's surprising.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC On One D&D Playtest Survey Results: Nearly Everything Scored 80%+!

    The survey didn't actually ask us whether we wanted feats at first level. This is something that really troubles me with these surveys. They ask us to rate specifics (each feat, each background), but they aren't asking the larger questions. I may very well rate a feat full stars, and I may...
