    D&D General I’m Trying to Love D&D Again—and I’ve Got Some Complaints. Young Grognard posting.

    Yup. Some folks actually do make a living at being professional game masters. Ginni D has actually done a couple of videos on the topic, I think this one is the first:

    Innsmouth added as new Ravenloft Domain of Dread, bringing Lovecraft to D&D

    I agree! Excited to add this to my toolbox of setting locales!

    D&D General I’m Trying to Love D&D Again—and I’ve Got Some Complaints. Young Grognard posting.

    If you "don't care" about something integral to my identity, such as my gender orientation . . . than I "don't care" to game with someone so closed minded.

    Wizards of the Coast hiring TRPG Publishing Lead to coordinate third-party publishing

    I find the "D&D Fanatic" website a whole lot sketchier than I do ENWorld. I do subscribe to ENWorld, so I see less ads . . . but unless things are much worse than when I wasn't subscribing, ENWorld isn't sketchy . . . too many pop-ups, but not sketchy. YMMV. How many pop-ups (and where they...

    D&D General If you needed random collectible Dragonlance-themed dice, today's your lucky day!

    Relax. They still sell non-collectible dice, you don't have to purchase these to play the game. And, the collectible dice ship sailed a long time ago . . . WotC's partners have been releasing randomized dice sets for a couple of years now. Up to now, it's been 6 or 7 dice sets, this new...

    Wizards of the Coast hiring TRPG Publishing Lead to coordinate third-party publishing

    The author of that article is just doing what we are doing here, speculating on what the job posting REALLY means . . . this "D&D Fanatic" isn't a source, just a fan speculating . . . and making some seriously huge leaps of logic . . . And that website . . . so many pop-ups and ads . . .

    RPG Evolution: Accessible for all

    The D&D "Orb of Possibility" (from Fanroll) does a good job . . . but does need batteries, isn't really a POPR (it's a spinner), but it can roll whatever dice you put into it. I'd avoid metal dice, but otherwise, regular acrylic, resin, or silicon dice work well. I was wondering if the various...

    D&D General Greyhawk book is NOT 'Shield Lands' but 'Borderlands of Iuz' according to team member

    Hey Youse, get your evil armies outta my fiefdom! Get outta here!

    D&D General Greyhawk book is NOT 'Shield Lands' but 'Borderlands of Iuz' according to team member

    Not in my experience. I mean, it's not the end of the world . . . but it doesn't inspire confidence about the quality of the project.

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

    Having Arnold reprise the role in the next Avengers movie would actually be pretty damn cool. Conan, what is best in life? To defeat Dr. Thulsa Doom with my new companions, the Avengers . . .

    D&D General Greyhawk book is NOT 'Shield Lands' but 'Borderlands of Iuz' according to team member

    Why Scott chose to comment BEFORE his meeting with Luke and the design team, later that day, to get clarification on the title . . . it just adds unnecessary confusion. If no WotC folks are involved at all . . . this is likely to appear on the DM's Guild. More likely, no one from WotC gets...

    Coming Ancient Magic - Coming Soon!

    I'm good with that. There is a lot of good work being done on TTRPGs that does not use generative AI. We are spoiled for choices these days

    The value of manned space flight?

    It's not an exaggeration, it's very possible. Worst-case scenario, to be sure. And not an unavoidable fate . . . but very, very possible.

    The value of manned space flight?

    I don't think there is anyone in this thread saying that we shouldn't be funding space programs. At least, I'm not. But rather, should society prioritize space travel over other types of funding and scientific research. And some of us are pushing back against the futurist dream of colonizing...

    The value of manned space flight?

    As human-caused climate change continues, some places will get worse and some will get better for us . . . but overall, the planet's environment will lose it's ability to support the population we have now, resulting in a lot of disruption and migration, yes, but also famine, lack of fresh...
