    D&D General Playstyle vs Mechanics

    Sigh. In other words, your source is a recent graphic rather than the biblical record. Even what you quoted does not indicate that the biblical author considered the world to be flat; it shows that there are things above and things below. There is no mention of flatness. This is also the...

    D&D General Playstyle vs Mechanics

    No it doesn't. Book, chapter, and verse to prove otherwise.

    Hasbro Hit With Layoffs, Wizards of the Coast Impacted

    Do you mean actual capitalism with free markets, freedom of exchange, and capital risk, or do you mean the unholy alliance between corporates and states as preferred ab initio by the USA? Because it's really easy to nail at least three different systems that claim to be capitalist, and are...

    Shadow of the Weird Wizard Is Finally Here!

    I do dispute this. I think we're sort of the bollocks in Oz (even the dog's bollocks), and the arse-end of the world is therefore New Zealand.

    RPG Print News – Chaosium, Osprey Games, Arion Games, and More

    Paizo has done a pawn pack for Monster Vault - the remastered Bestiary. I wonder if they might do one or two more?

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Talks AI Usage in D&D [UPDATED!]

    I'm excited about the potential for AI for my own games, and I'm OK with that being officially supported by the game companies. AI art works for me, especially if it means more art. At this stage in my life, I have enough rules, adventures, and supporting products. But good art that works for my...

    D&D General The 13th Age 2nd Edition Kickstarter Has Launched

    The timing concerns me. The 13th Age team have a Gygaxian disregard for deadlines (for those of my fellow oldies who waited 5+ years for Temple of Elemental Evil only to receive an incomplete slugfest) so I expect the date will slip by at least six months. That said, I love the game and I love...

    Not DnD: Rob Heinsoo Talks 13th Age 2nd Edition

    I love 13th Age except for one thing: The designers make Gygax look capable of hitting deadlines by comparison. Everything takes forever with 13th Age.

    D&D 4E Gamma World (7E) Post-Mortem

    I saved the page and it continued to work.

    D&D 4E Gamma World (7E) Post-Mortem

    There is a character generator floating around as a page on website. It might even be the archive.org version of the WotC page.

    WotC Updates D&D's AI Policy After YouTuber's False Accusations

    While it's normal to blame capitalism, and to disingenuously refer to it as "late stage", but the real issue is fake capitalism - capitalism is the free exchange of goods and services with consequences and competition. "Late stage capitalism" is wrong; "not capitalism" is correct, or even the...

    Dragon Reflections #73

    I started in 1981 when I was 12. I thought it was illogical then. That was a common opinion among my fellow D&D nerds.

    Dragon Reflections #73

    And thieves had the worst saving throws, even allowing for their faster level gain, including for dodging out of the way of an attack. Illogical (ie, Gygaxian) design.

    D&D General "I have Played in or Run a Campaign Set in the Forgotten Realms" (a poll)

    True. 1E. 2E. 3E. 3.5E. 4E. 13th Age. 4E again. 5E. Back to 4E. Prepping PF2E.

    Starfinder Have you used Starfinder for a different setting?

    Not yet. But I really, really, REALLY want to run a game set in Dragonstar before I die.

    Pathfinder 2E Things You Love about a Game: Pathfinder 2E edition (+)

    No particular order: 1. Pocket editions. Love 'em. 2. Archives of Nethys. Free and legal? Outstanding. 3. Pathbuilder. 4. Other free and legal online tools. 5. The designers actually designed a game around balance and teamwork. 6. Monster building and encounter building tools that actually work.

    State of the Mongoose 2022

    Love your corporate structure work. It's always fascinating to see other models in action. Shield Maidens looks conceptually brilliant. Cannot wait to see the execution.

    Top 3 All-Time RPG Supplements

    Caverns of Thracia by Paul Jaquays. The gold standard of dungeons - history, layout, factions; it's all there. Faiths & Avatars for the Forgotten Realms. Finally, a stake in the heart of bad design which was generic clerics.

    D&D 5E What is your "go to" campaign concept?

    Everything is an aboleth plot. Seriously.

    D&D 5E Descent Into Avernus & Mad Max: Why the adventure ultimately failed (to me!)

    It would have made more sense as an expedition to a layer of the Abyss - such as the Barrens of Oublivae (4E reference). Hell is not the place for the chaos needed to make this adventure work.
