    WotC Greg Tito On Leaving WotC: 'It feels good to do something that doesn't just line the pockets of *****'

    More power to him. He’s speaking what a lot of folks are thinking.

    Pre-Order DLC comes to D&D with Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    Yeah, this is a different game paradigm now, and I think we all have to understand that. The days of "official content" being released in a deluge are gone. The owners of the brand don't want that anymore. They actually want 3PP to fill in the gap. They actually want homebrew content to...

    Pre-Order DLC comes to D&D with Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    How do all those upset people complaining about offering incentives deal with something like Kickstarter? That's all about speculating on an unproven product, and buying into rewards for doing so, rewards that can't be had unless you invest in the product early. Seems to me the problem with...

    Pre-Order DLC comes to D&D with Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    So did I. I'm looking forward to being able to read it at 12:00AM on November 10th, and have all the features integrated into my character building options. Fine with me! If Kobold Press or Sasquatch Games or Green Ronin made extra optional content available for play as a third-party...

    Can Hobby Stores Make Their Saving Throw?

    I'm not sure I am having the same gaming experience you are... In my corner of the world, there is a lot of enthusiasm to play and DM, but no private in-home playing space big enough to accommodate the interested group comfortably. And while there does exist the capacity to generate one's own...

    Can Hobby Stores Make Their Saving Throw?

    If gaming stores can't rely upon product to keep them afloat, then what is it that they do have that can't be replaced? Community. Over and over again, I see gamers complain that they don't have the space to play the games they want. It seems the natural evolution of gaming stores isn't going...

    Consequence and Reward in RPGs

    Ya know, I started playing D&D in 1980, and I stopped playing it for years in part because of the attitude espoused in this article. "You're not playing it right!! You're ruining my fun because you don't play it the way I like to play it! Everyone should want what I want! I don't care if...

    Digitial Battlemapping on the Cheap

    Well, for anyone that already has an Android or iOS phone, that's not a problem. If you really want to use a stick computer, go for it. More power to ya.

    Digitial Battlemapping on the Cheap

    Not that I know of. I can close the app and open another without losing the player view on the TV.

    Digitial Battlemapping on the Cheap

    Well, the price of Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds would be astronomical in comparison then, wouldn't it? Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

    What Apps can't you live without for tabletops RPGs either on iPad, Android, or PC?

    I am a huge fan of the new app, InfinitasDM for my phone. Doesn't require a laptop. Allows me to use whatever maps I want with Fog of War for my in-person pen-n-paper games. Android, iOS, Steam. http://www.infinitasdm.com/

    Digitial Battlemapping on the Cheap

    This is for all the DMs out there that don't want to use laptops for gaming. I've discovered something I want to share with you. I may be late to the game, so this stuff may have been around for a while, but I'm excited about it and want to share it. First off: I don't do virtual gaming. I'm...

    Graphic Elements for Your Adventures

    Trying to find art to accompany your text can be hard. It's expensive and time consuming to create or acquire, and that can sometimes be prohibitive. You might consider graphic elements instead. While not a substitute for illustration (which has the unique ability to communicate information...

    Advice on dealing with "chaotic" teammates.

    You might want to mention to your DM that the quality of your play experience is suffering, and see if she/he can do something more direct about it in-game from his/her end. For your part, it might be that you need to jump tables once again, or even gracefully ask the other player directly...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd spoiler-filled general discussion

    I really like the analogy of this version's Strahd hearkening to Jessica Jones's Killgrave, mentioned very early on in the thread. IMO, the difference between this 5.0Strahd and the Strahds of the past is that this one seems to be a complete and utter narcissist. Of course he should conquer...

    DDAL Racism and DDAL4-1 [Spoilers]

    I can't tell whether this is sarcasm or legitimate, but honestly it truly needs to happen. Really. This entire article reads like someone saying, "No, I didn't offend you! See? You just didn't read between the lines to infer the right stuff!" Does anyone know how that just makes it WORSE...

    DDAL Racism and DDAL4-1 [Spoilers]

    Then that needs to be explained at the beginning in the setup text. That simple sentence, "These are desperate people doing anything they can to preserve their family from disaster," would do it. It should be clear that's what the function of the town's perceptions and prejudices are there...
