    Leon Barillaro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    I don't think that is the case here (although you are entitled to jump to your own conclusions) I think my concern is more to do with people that go out of their way to telegraph their differences when there is no need to. Why insist that they want to be called They/Them (they are after all only...

    Leon Barillaro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    There is nothing that is not family friendly about musing if someone will concentrate on a Job they have been employed to do or focus on activism at the expense of quality. EN world is perfectly entitled to shut down debate on this but please don't pretend it is to protect a family friendly space.

    Leon Barillaro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    Any one hired who has normal pronouns? It is not particularly representative of the general population if they all identify as They/thems. Wonder how likely they will be to be activists rather than just get on with the job?

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Dungeons of Drakkenheim, DCC Dying Earth, CoC Classic, and more

    Well that's kind of my question. I know about stories like Lovecraft's Colour out of Space obviously, but a setting where a shower of meteors destroy a city and leave the survivors corrupted by chaos AND then war bands collect the fragments for money, that seems to be almost identical to the...

    Isn't Dungeons of Drakkenheim just a straight rip off of Games Workshops Mordheim? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordheim

    Exploring Candlekeep Mysteries: An In-depth Review

    I agree that the Vistani haven't been portrayed as just evil for a long time and I think that's a good thing. I like the similarities to Romani culture though and I think as long as the positive elements of that are focused on and they aren't portrayed as a negative stereotype then there isn't...

    Exploring Candlekeep Mysteries: An In-depth Review

    I am equal parts curious and apprehensive to see how shifting sensibilities have affected the rebranding of the Vistani. Can you let us know what this looks like?

    D&D 5E (2014) Armor as Damage Reduction

    Sorry if this has been mentioned already (I've skimmed through all the posts but its late) has anyone experience of Monte Cook's Iron Hero's? In that Damage reduction is a dice rather than a flat number e.g. platemail may give d12 damage reduction. This avoids the wearer being completely immune...

    Worlds of Design: Magic vs. Technology

    When Clarke said any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, it was not the same as saying that any sufficiently advanced technology is magic. One way to distinguish between the two in your game is to take the position that, however similar their effects are, the two...

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access

    There are pros and cons to early access but after a couple of hours I've uninstalled it and got a refund. It is only very basic at this stage with a few classes up to level 4. If it where a demo I say it looks like we'll get a good game in the end but that's over a year away and there are better...

    Another "Armour as DR" Thread (sort of)

    Yes having tiers of damage was one of my first thoughts but as you say this can slow play down at the table as everyone works out by how much they've hit and how many dice they should be rolling. I abandoned it for that reason.

    Another "Armour as DR" Thread (sort of)

    Thank you for all your feed back. After reading through peoples thoughts I have rethought my original ideas. At the moment I am thinking of using something along the following lines: 1) I am planning to use 3d6 instead of d20 for all checks. 2) To attack a character rolls 3d6+Strength...
