    D&D (2024) How to answer the WOTC playtest survey....

    What kind of feedback do I need to give in the playtest survey to say "I don't like the playtest version of this class/feature/spell and think it is disruptive/poorly written/bad for the game , but I want WOTC designers to work more in this direction than the current version which is objectively...

    Dungeon Coach's DC20 RPG

    Although I had seen a lot of the announcements of new D20 based dungeon fantasy games coming out after the OGL debacle earlier this year, I somehow missed this one about YouTube creator The Dungeon Coach's system until Treantmonk reviewed it's Alpha version this week. Trenatmonk: It looks...

    D&D 5E WOTC Possibly Removing "Druids" for Religious/Cultural Sensitivity Reasons

    WOTC is considering removing "Druid" and "Shaman" creature types in M:TG and I imagine if it is on the radar for Magic that it is possibly being discussed on the D&D side as well. Certainly, if they think this is an issue in the long term, nipping it in the bud by changing the class name in 2024...

    The Asians Represent podcast took a closer look at the Playtest 6 Monk and found it wanting. (YouTube) Asians Represent: "Has WotC Fixed the D&D Monk?" My takeaways of their main points (TLDR version): - They seem confused by WOTC's efforts to make the Monk non-Asian coded while trying to...

    D&D (2024) Jeremy Crawford: “We are releasing new editions of the books”

    'We are releasing new editions of the books,” Crawford emphasized. “We are not releasing a new edition of the game. And so that, I think, is a really important distinction — that it is still 5th edition, but yes, we are releasing revised versions of the books, which anywhere else in the...

    Cancel D&D Beyond on January 13 | OGL 1.1

    "Join me in canceling all of our D&D Beyond subscriptions on January 13, as a monetary sign to Wizards of the Coast that we will not accept OGL 1.1." I see that folks on YouTube are planning a coordinated cancellation on the 13th if there is no news of revocation of the OGL 1.1 debacle before...

    Boycott Kickstarter

    It is quite clear that Kickstarter has totally reneged on their support of independent creators with their obsequious collaborating with WOTC on their probably illegal termination of OGL 1.0 and institution of the monopolistic and anticompetitive OGL 1.1. If WOTC ends up trying to push the OGL...

    Doctor Who: David Tennant and Catherine Tate to return for 60th anniversary

    It feels like RTD has gotten more headlines in two weeks than we have gotten since Jodie Whittaker's casting in 2017. Probably the strategy of treating everything, including non-spoilery plot descriptions and returning characters like it was a state secret was no the way to go. That probably...

    D&D 5E A WOTC 5e Warlord That Would Be Acceptable To Skeptics

    First off, I am not a 4e fan at all. It is the only edition I never connected with. It looked well designed for what it was but it catered to a very different playstyle than I enjoy and didn't seem like a natural evolution from the classic D&D I played for the 25 years previously. I never played...
