    Wizards of the Coast Hiring New Lead Designer and Head of Game Ecosystem for D&D

    Just for the heck of it, I have requested an AI to rate the chance both ads were made by AI, and then provide its reasoning. 1. The first ad was rated as 80% human work, with some AI used for editorial cleanup. 2. The second ad was rated as 50% human work, being probably built by an AI, and...

    Tell Me About Cortex Prime

    Re. 1) Well, that may be just the question of player preferences. My tend to work out their strong points and then settle comfortably in routines that work for them. A Graceful (d8) Egoist (d10) focuses on solo actions, like scouting or being party face. In retrospect I should have probably...

    Critical Role to Run Grimdark Daggerheart Miniseries

    In a game with a save/load feature, grimdark can be also about dying (see Re:Zero... series). I would argue that canonical old school experience with level one characters dying like mayflies would also constitute a good grimdark example. That said, the most canonical grimdark is precisely as...

    Tell Me About Cortex Prime

    Someone should do a post-mortem analysis of the CortexPrime phenomena - a system that's incredible for framing setting concepts*, yet having some** issues at the play level. * I have made no fewer than four different settings for the game. ** some in my case meant: players settling into...

    Critical Role Announces Age of Umbra Daggerheart Campaign, Starting May 29th

    I have received a link to a copy of Daggerheart PDF, read Age of Umbra description. The premise is interesting, a Dark Souls vibe is strong with that one (human pride doomed the world, gods are gone, those who die return as monstrous revenants, remnant folk do the Last of Us 2 impressions...

    RPG Evolution: Eat or Be Eaten

    Anime ecology at its finest. I mean it both positively and sarcastically. 1. The dungeon spawns are unlimited, asexual and held in check by higher level consumers. 2. The adventurers are unaccountable or outside of the dungeon system, and thus break it by merely fulfilling their role...

    Outgunned Adventure Is Smart As A Whip

    I am tempted to run Spriggan* campaign. * With Spriggan-agents being somewhat toned down.

    Critical Role Announces Age of Umbra Daggerheart Campaign, Starting May 29th

    Outdated view. There are hardly any reviews of the final version. While this may be indication of mellowing popularity, there were changes made to the final version. Note: some reviewers found by Google were markedly political, and so I am not considering their opinion to be reliable.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    By the time of Edge of Infinity, the Scarred Lands line was (or seemed to be) winding down. There were also some developments that were not as original as the first, 3.0, and pre-3.0 edition books. The novel method of introducing the setting, through Creature Collection, a bestiary riddled with...

    Worlds of Design: What Should Be in an RPG Book?

    Teeth RPG. Probably the most accessible accessory. There are others out there that are incredible, but this one is in a league of its own.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    Teeth RPG. A marvelously executed Blades clone. Using it to merge with Whitehack (so that the gaming on personal scale is both more heroic and less about narrative, and also because playbooks feel more suitable to introduce players). Almost completed.

    Mass Layoffs At Polygon, Major Gaming News Outlet

    I would like to express polite disagreement. ENWorld is my first and foremost go-to site. The yearly Ennie nominees supplement my purchase list, the weekly release news depress my budget further yet maintain wider net of interest. To me ENWorld is huge.* * Yes, it could use some modern stuff...

    How build a special world setting based on "being able to physically enter someone's dreams“?

    Rules. Specifically, to maintain balance between this and dream realities, a law of conservation should apply. Or several of them: of energy, of mass, of complexity (otherwise one could bring in nukes), of space, that is of size and distance (no ant man wannabees, no teleportation), of ecosystem...

    How Fantastical Do You Like Your Fantasy World?

    No idea. No freaking clue. What I know though is that my players must be able to relate to folks and events taking place. So that when a monstrous orcish druidic hag* was crying over failing to save children in their village, the PCs helped. * Scarred Lands setting. Followers of the titans...
