    The Gith Are Now Aberrations in Dungeons & Dragons

    Gith are Aberrations because of "space magic." I am cool with that.

    Are Orcs in the Monster Manual? No and Yes.

    TLDR? I'm not a consumer of Professor Dungeon Master's content.

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    I agree. I don't think there is any chance of putting that genie back in the bottle. D&D belongs to the corpos now and will forevermore, for better or worse.

    Are Orcs in the Monster Manual? No and Yes.

    Modular "humanoids" is a better approach, IMHO. Just customize a bit and go. I've wanted this for D&D for some time.

    Here Are 2025's Most Anticipated TTRPGs... As Voted By You!

    Going in on Starfinder 2E. I already backed a few others, I am just waiting for them to be delivered. I honestly have never heard of Legend in the Mist.

    Cyberpunk 2077 Now Contains Rules For Playing Cyberpunk RED TTRPG

    I can only speak to my experience, I agree. I never really connected with Cyberpunk 2020. Mostly because I struggled with the genre's themes, I didn't understand "cyberpunk" even if I admired the aesthetics. Cyberpunk 2077 opened my eyes to understanding and I finally connected with it. I was...

    Is Evil Genius Games Doubling Down On NFTs & Blockchain?

    Let's be completely honest. The pledge was a ploy to keep their revenue flowing and possibly to lure fleeing developers back into the fold. Once they achieved those goals to some degree, there was no reason to keep their word. This is the unscrupulous business mindset they are working from. I've...

    D&D General The 13th Age 2nd Edition Kickstarter Has Launched

    F20 stands for "Fantasy 20." It is a term coined by Robin Laws over a decade ago and has been adopted by portions of the design community, especially Pelgrane Press (i.e. the folks like Rob and Jonathon who created 13th Age and 13th Age 2E). It encompasses fantasy RPGs based on d20 mechanics and...

    D&D General The 13th Age 2nd Edition Kickstarter Has Launched

    It is a "love letter" to D&D. It's an F20 game according to the designers. I think that qualifies it as a version of D&D in some capacity. I am enjoying the Beta packet. They took a lot of our feedback from the Alpha playtest and made improvements, plus some new stuff. 13th Age 2E is on the...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Artistic intent matters to the original art. That said, WOTC (and WizKids working for them) can create derivative works based on the original art because they own the original. That's all this mini is, a derivative work that changed aspects of the art it is based upon. It doesn't change the...

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    Addressing the freelance pay culture in the TTRPG industry, just one part of the issues discussed here. I have heard of problems getting paid, but have not experienced it myself. Both AAW Games and Kobold Press were professional, timely, and transparent with me on my pay. To those brave...

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    There is a lot to process here. Ultimately, I hope those who are still owed get what they deserve and find a better work environment. No one deserves that kind of treatment. I think my Everyday Heroes collection is complete, no need to give EGG more of my money. I hope the creatives are proud...

    Vote For The Most Anticipated RPG of 2024!

    I voted for Shadows of the Weird Wizard and Tiny Cyberpunk. Not much else interested me enough that I am "anticipating" it. :) I do love some Shadows and Tiny d6 though.

    Renegade Studios Sends C&D To Stop Small Creator Using The Word 'Renegade'

    I've purchased everything released for Essence20, Vampire 5E, and Hunter 5E. I'm glad this is resolved but I won't be buying anything from Renegade Game Studios ever again. I can't stand bullies or overly litigious corpos. I've let my whole gaming crew know and I've tossed the products mentioned...

    All I can add is, support your 3PP. If you like their products, now is the perfect time to make those purchases. :)

    Vote For The Most Anticipated RPG of 2022!

    Avatar Legends as I finally watched the series in 2021 and really enjoyed it. Watching Korra in 2022. Cy-Borg looks incredible! And I am a new fan of Mork Borg as well. Transformers to represent the Essence20 lines. I've pre-ordered all three and I am shocked only Transformers showed up on the...

    Nominate your favorite TTRPG podcast of 2021

    I am also nominating Gaming & BS in the Talk category. Brett and Sean foster a great community and positive influences. As they have mentioned before, they like to think of themselves as two guys in a bar talking about gaming. Casual and very informative. Always exploring new ideas and...
