This idea was sparked by a post over on the What Does the RPG Hobby Need Now? thread. At first, superheroes and Borg games might seem like a perfect mismatch. But I think you could do a lot with the idea. And others already have. There's already a few superhero Borg games out there. To me...

I’m curious if plans are still moving ahead to release the revised 5E stuff under the CC-BY SRD as promised so long ago. Also very curious about older editions being released under a CC-BY SRD as talked about so long ago. Any updates on this?

The [+] is to prevent endless sidetracks into whether video game mechanics should be backported to RPGs. This thread isn’t the place for that argument, have it somewhere else thanks. Today Pointy Hat released another great video. (Keep up the great work, man.) This one discussing a new combat...

Article from the Atlantic today detailing just how extensive Meta’s piracy of copyrighted works was to train their “AI” LLM. The article also points to similar court filings against OpenAI. Literal millions of books including RPGs were illegally used to train these programs.

This might be of interest around here.

Mike Mearls seems to be on an interview tour lately. Today the video of his interview with Ben from Questing Beast dropped. Really not a fan of all the clickbait titles and thumbnails YouTubers I like are using lately.

So anyone more familiar with the ORC and how it works willing to check this out? Chaosium has this FAQ up in regards to their QuestWorlds SRD. QuestWorlds - System Reference Document FAQ text as of today… According to their FAQs they won't permit people to make anything based on the...

This is a thread for hashing out the math on low-roll wins vs blackjack-style highest roll without going over wins. ENWorlders with better maths knowledge than me, please explain this to the rest of us.

There are a few people on here who play Dragonbane, so I thought we should have a general thread about the game. I’m relatively new to Dragonbane but loving what I’m seeing so far. It seems to have a lot of great reviews and the Core Set is phenomenal. If anyone has any tips, tricks, pointers...

Plus thread. Keep the fighting and bickering in the other threads. This is some light-hearted black humor. Nothing more. It’s the far-flung future of 2026 and Elon Musk has finalized the purchase of Hasbro, WotC, and D&D. What settings would we see published and how would they be changed...

I’m a fan of the pulp and action-adventure genres. Quite fond of the era, 1930s to 1940s, and its music. So I’m on the hunt for some RPGs where you can kill some Nazis. I’m fully aware you can do this in most any game by simply importing Nazis. That’s not what I’m after. I have stacks of pulp...

Apparently there's a Goonies sequel in the works. Hope it's not a fake. "Steven Spielberg will direct the sequel to the 1985 hit family film 'The Goonies' 'Goonies Are Good Enough' takes place 40 years after the first film and sees Sean Astins Mikey recruiting the old gang to help recover a...

Absolutely fantastic video from Black Lodge Games. If only there were more referees who took this to heart.

This is damned scary...

Guys. Get checked.

Wow. That was a surprise. https://www.cbr.com/josh-gad-spaceballs-2/

This is a [+] thread. This is not about linear adventures. If the game goes from A to B to C and the players willingly engage, that's linear but not a railroad. The definition of railroading used here is having no choices in the larger arc of the story. You as a player will follow the...
