    RPG Print News – Dolmenwood, G.I. Joe RPG, and More

    Obviously the game is a throwback to the 80s cartoon and Larry Hama comics, but there's been some good GI Joe stories and reboots over the years that could inspire a more serious game. GI Joe: Resolute was a movie that aired on Adult Swim. It's a great mashup of the 80s comic and TV show. If...

    What If Sauron Won? Check Out This Trailer For The MIDNIGHT RPG!

    No, I don't think there's a particular reading order. There's no meta-plot like Forgotten Realms; there's no story progression. I'd note the 3E setting book is quite large and actually has a great deal of background in it; the sourcebooks just go deeper.

    What If Sauron Won? Check Out This Trailer For The MIDNIGHT RPG!

    The setting really is a love letter to Tolkien, but the dark twist makes all the difference. The 3E supplements can still be found and are available in .pdf format via DriveThuRPG. Under The Shadow is my favorite, detailing the insurgency in the city of Baden's Bluff. Legends of Shadow...

    What If Sauron Won? Check Out This Trailer For The MIDNIGHT RPG!

    Midnight is one of the few settings where I methodically hunted down almost every supplement. Some truly great stuff. Excited that it is coming out this month! However, I do think it should be titled, "Midnight: Legacy of Shadow"...

    Pre-Order The Altered Carbon RPG!

    I certainly prefer the books over the Netflix series, and think they'd provide a richer universe for the RPG. That said, Season One was far better than Season Two, but those looking for additional stories based in this universe should check out the Netflix anime Altered Carbon: Resleeved...

    Eberron Dragonmarked Houses and Ravnica Guilds

    I recently picked up the Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, and I thought the Guild background approach could easily be adapted to Eberron's Dragonmarked Houses. For example, the Dimir Operative background could easily be a member of House Phiarlan or Thuranni without modification. Mechanically...

    Star Wars 30th Anniversary RPG Announced!!!

    Awesome - I need these. The mock advertisements in the originals are worth the price alone.

    D&D 5E (2014) What are your favourite fumble tables?

    I used to love the old MERP Critical Hit and Fumble tables. This fumble for the crossbow was a classic... "You slip and pin your foot to the ground with a quarrel. +10 hits. 2 hits per round. -30 to activity. Stunned 3 rounds." Of course, this melee fumble was also popular... "Worst move...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana is Here - and it's all about EBERRON!

    Agreed - this is unclear. I'd like to see something official on this just for clarification. From a balance standpoint, Magic Initiate grants two cantrips (at-will) and one first level spell. Dragonmark initially grants one cantrip and one first level spell (but the way I'm reading this the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Disengage

    The Sentinel Feat nullifies Disengage, so that's an available option for bodyguards facing pesky Rogues and Monks...
