I was at the gym this morning, listening to this week's podcast while I was riding the pain machine bike, and I had a thought... What if WotC just put the 1st or 2nd edition rules up on D&D Beyond, and supported them with all their VTT/character/book stuff? I know that development is time...

There are some deeply unwell people on X. I mean that seriously: there are men--all men--who are nutzo about BROSR. I mean...it's hard to describe the vitriol these dudes spew about anyone who doesn't agree with them. We are talking Christian, far right-wing looney tunes in the game space. There...

I have been playing--mostly GMing--ttrpgs since 1981. I've run and played numerous games: D&D (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th), Call of Cthulhu (2nd, 7th), Dragonbane, Castles&Crusades, and Dungeon Crawl Classics. I have run one shots, mini-campaigns, and full campaigns. I love running games! (I like being...

Hey, friends. If you are a fan of Castles&Crusades, this is a good video interview of Stephen Chenault discussing their latest Backerkit project, but also some deep dive into the history of Aihrde. Highly enjoyable content! The Lord of the Trolls

Got the books, have it set up on Foundry/Forge. Any advice, thoughts, suggestions, reviews? It looks great!

Hello, nice humans. I am looking at ways to generate hex terrain (along with other things for hexes). I am messing around with the Shadowdark rules, an the old AD&D DM's Guide rules. Any others out in the world that might be helpful? A very happy New Years to all!

Hello friends! I am looking for some TTRPG setting books. I don't need pages and pages dedicated to characters and rules; I am more interested in lore and world information. I have the following, but any others you can suggest will be most appreciated. And happy Boxing Day to all of our...

Hello, friends. I have not painted minis since I was in high school (a very, very long time ago). I'm thinking about trying my hand at it again, but I am unsure about the best way to start. I'm figuring I'll just grab a basic paint set, some brushes, and some minis. I don't even know what kind...

Happy Black Friday for all who celebrate. I am looking for some podcast recommendations. I don't like to listen or watch actual plays, but I'm interested in pods that talk about games and gaming. Also, while I do like Youtube, I generally listen to audio pods on my phone at the gym, or in my...

I recently watched Matt Colville's long video about finding an online community in the TTRPG space, and I wanted to share a thought I had. I am grateful for the ENWorld Community. There are many, many, many spaces to talk about TTRPGs with people on the internet, but in most that I've found, the...

Friends, is there any way to know how TTRPG systems are selling in the world? Like how much Dragonbane is being sold vs. D&D 5e, or Dungeon Crawl Classics vs. Shadowdark, for example? I can't find any good information. Is it just not out there?

I have been going through Troll Lords' latest releases for their Castles&Crusades game, the Codex Exaltum and the Codex Infernum, and I think they are great! I remember angelic/celestial beings back in the 2e days when I was a kid, but we never did much with them at the table. Devils and demons...

This is not a troll post. I am asking legitimately out of curiosity, and maybe a bit of wistfulness: why is 5e (and the newest iteration, 2024...5.5e) fun? Background: the other day I looked on D&D Beyond and saw their new(ish) map feature. Since I play online with my friends pretty much...

I am looking at having a few of my PDFs printed and bound (for personal use only!). Just poking around, the prices are...steep (especially shipping). Can anyone suggest a reasonable and reliable service that they've used? I am in the US. Thank you!

Hello, friend. I am a middle school teacher and I am in charge of the Dungeons&Dragons club. 40+ kids are showing up every week, which is astonishing (and beyond chaotic). I have one group of sixth grade boys who have never played before...including their Dungeon Master. They have spent two...

Hello, friends. Has anyone played this system, or have experience with it? I'd love to hear some thoughts before I jump in and buy it, because I am an unrepentant TTRPG harlot.

This image comes from WotC's X feed. I have no idea what this is, nor what it has to do with Dungeons&Dragons, fantasy role playing, or...anything. Is there a new dancer class or something in the 2024 iteration?

Has anyone ever run a game where the players are actual monsters? Like, a party of orcs, or drow or something? I know AD&D metiones this possibility in one of the core books, but I'm curious how often--if ever--people play this way?

Hello, generally pleasant people on the Internet. I am a long time player of Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu. Like, a really long time (since 1983!) I have run more than 100 sessions (not sure how many, to be honest) and I've always run a published scenario, or connected a group of published...
