    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    Sure. But if you're allowing comments then you should moderate them. You can't really go "I didn't think about that" any more.

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    Yes, this! Goodman said he wouldn't work with Judges Guild any more after the first time they outed themselves as bigots. And then two months later he started to work with them in silent just because Invincible Overlord were more important than their previous ethical stand. The trust is gone.

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    More youtubeers — especially DungeonTube — should moderate their comments but also read the room about what to block/remove and what to keep. Some conflict are valid, and some are very much not. Because as it is now in a lot of these videos, criticism tends to get removed while gamergate crap is...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    I can also jump in late with opinions about this. Looking at D&D art in the 80s and especially focusing on that the warrior have no trousers. Now, had this been Clyde Caldwell the odds it had been a woman would have been something like 500%. Elmore is slightly less so, he's know to have drawn...

    Ravenloft: The Horrors Within Announced, Release Date Scheduled for June 2026

    I don't really see the difference, Ravenloft has always been Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. If anything, the latest Ravenloft had more than one theme among the domains IMO.

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    They very much could allow for experimentation by the current group at WatC and try new settings, One here and there while they still publishes Forgotten Realms and all the rest wouldn't be that noticeable in the spreadsheets. They're not going to because they're also the same company that...

    Shadowrun deserves better

    Shadowrun Anarchy is a more lightweight and a bit more narrative version made by CatalystLabs so official. This is the character sheet in whole and as you can see, considerably less crunchy. Otherscape is Son of Oak's mythical cyberpunk game which is a refinement on their City of Mist. Has...

    Shadowrun deserves better

    City of Mist had proper moves but with Otherscape they moved away from that and leaned far more into statuses so there's just two moves: quick (narrative the outcome) or tracked (which imposes statuses and effects that you by from the amount of tags you used.) And with Otherscape they added a...

    Project Hail Mary Discussion

    I do agree about it fanning the flames of imagination and inspiration. But as a stepping stone to Mars it's a little like jumping jumping from Norway to New York by using UK for extra boost. So vast distances that it's not really helpful.

    Project Hail Mary Discussion

    Weird to make that argument on a podcast where the host froths his mouth every time he sees a woman or a black character which if you look at the thumbnails is every video. So I think Weir is just doing that whole "my POV is common sense, politics when it goes against that".

    Shadowrun deserves better

    Shadowrun Anarchy 2e did get better than the first edition but that one is also attempting to be more rules light in all areas. The main line is a mess of badly edited rules. Even earlier than so as Burning Wheel did get made because of a few things making an idea spark and I believe Shadowrun...

    D&D General People make amazing D&D Art

    That is practice and not listening to the quitting voice. :D

    D&D General People make amazing D&D Art

    Even though it can be hard to switch off that internal "not good enough so I quit" voice as an adult, I really recommend learning to draw.

    D&D General People make amazing D&D Art

    After a six month hiatus for burnout, I'm about to start a new campaign. (I was about to crawling on the walls and my eyes start to blink sideways.) This means some sketches of NPCs and just doodles. Where The Wild Kobolds Are (but there are no kobolds in the world, yet.)

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk: The Shield Lands

    I assume it's about the Making of OD&D book that got Rob Kuntz all angry and defensive because it called out some of Gygax opinions for what they were. Which is weird because Gary was dead at the time so he wasn't treated in any way at all.

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    I love the MtG worlds. I don't play the game but the worlds and how they work and stories there are great. And that's the big issue with bringing them into D&D, they're very much locked into the MtG meta-story that's going to make the question "why don't Elmister do something about this?" way...

    Wes Schneider is the product lead for Ravenloft: The Horrors Within

    Surf Dracula. Cruise Mummy. Frankenstein also need one now.

    Wes Schneider is the product lead for Ravenloft: The Horrors Within

    The mummy in Cruise Mummy was pretty neat. Russel Crowe's Jekyll was hammy fun. But Tom Cruise was super-miscast and the script didn't do the movie any favour — it was super-bland with big pacing issues and illogical jumps just because.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance: War Wizard cover reveal.

    It means it's only takes what Weis & Hickman considers canon into account.

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Fully agree. It was a rhetorical question that I thought I made clear I didn't agree with.
