Hi folks, Hope you are having a good day. Today I would like to talk a bit about game design, but not specifically limited to ttrpg's, as I personally find that studying as many different kinds of games can help to become a better creator of games in general. Understanding game mechanics from a...

This is a [+] thread, specifically addressing ways for creatives to protect themselves from harmful data scraping and the theft of their intellectual property. If you are pro-ai, there are plenty of other threads for you to talk about that, while this thread is specifically for creatives and...

Greetings! My name is Art Waring, lead artist and creative director at Halo Zix, with 24 years experience as a street artist, typographer, and a graphics designer. Together with the Nomadz Crew UK and Halo Zix we are working to create innovative independent projects including ttrpgs, street art...

So I have seen this pop up in a few places, and if you look at the new dragonlance cover on google, it has the phrase in all caps and with a TM at the end at the bottom of the cover. I don't really have an opinion on it, since you can just claim "5e compatible" or simply put "5e" on your book...

So here's a trailer, but this thread contains spoilers (avoiding spoilers in my first post if you happen to drop by and don't know about the show). I recommend watching the first season before getting into the nitty gritty details. Honestly I think its probably a bit too complex for the...

Here is an interesting article I stumbled across. Therapists are looking into using role playing games to develop new therapy techniques. Wired.com Therapy and TTRPG's It reminded me of an older article I read years ago about how TTRPG's have also helped individuals who are incarcerated. San...

International independent film (originally known as the "foreign film" category in the US) is what drew me into the deeper world of cinema. Growing up with American films, Anime, Japanese independent film, and a diverse variety foreign films helped to give me a wider view of the creative world...

So I've been doing some research and there doesn't appear to be much on the subject. 3.X had templates, which could be added to monsters and player characters, and often came with an adjustment to a monsters ECL (encounter level, or CR), or a characters effective level. Thankfully, the monster...

A twist on the post-apocalyptic genre, where dragons have laid waste to the earth. I think it was quite an underappreciated film, as watching it again yesterday I realized that this is really the only film I can think of where the dragons really have a lethal look and feel to them. Even by...

On a lighter note, If you haven't checked out SW Larry check it out! Its a fanmade series that is a SW parody, but they take it to a whole new level. They have completely edited and ADR'd the movies to make a whole new story that is funny as f***. Have you seen it before? If this is your first...

So I am in the trenches making an rpg, and this year we have hired an excellent freelance artist at the rates they asked for, and the artist was absolutely our top pick. However, having found an artist, I like to be careful, so I went looking around for a backup artist and found some disturbing...

I'm currently in the trenches designing a 5e based ttrpg, and it's time to talk about point buy arrays and the point buy system. A lot of discussions are going on about point buys and random rolls to generate ability scores. Some say random rolls are too swingy, and that it creates too much...
