    Peregrine's Nest: What Does a Line Developer Do?

    This is such a great article removing some of the mystery what some of the credited folks on the books we buy actually did!

    Dante's Divine Comedy for 5e – The Straight Way Lost: An Interview With Melina Sedó (Vortex Verlag)

    I can tell you! It's a beautiful, thick book. The art is great. Although we saw some of the MOST amazing pieces in the marketing, the standard is high everywhere, and there is a lot of art, especially in the heaven and hell parts of the adventure. The printers and binders did a fine job, and...

    D&D 5E Phandelver & Below's Full Description

    Seems a bit funny to me as well. Guess they wanna focus on goblins, not orcs? What bugs me is that so much is going on in one little village? Don't the PCs want to see the wider world? What kind of world-breaking conspiracy is going to be so attracted to nowheresville that it will power a...

    D&D 5E Phandelver & Below's Full Description

    I'd have been a fan of defining metamagic generally as options for upcasting any spell -- not just the 20% of current D&D spells that have their upcasting options defined. We already have upcasting in D&D, just make that the standard way to achieve metamagic like twinning, boosting duration...

    Dante's Divine Comedy for 5e – The Straight Way Lost: An Interview With Melina Sedó (Vortex Verlag)

    Just want to say this sounds like a terrific product. Super interested to see how you've let the fantasy poke through into the real world here and there. And that art you've shared is terrific! It's superior to the level even in Wizards' hardcovers.

    RPG Evolution: The Placidia Campaign

    Too many plot twists to be realistic, right?

    RPG Archeology: Help me finding out more about "Old Adage" adventures packet

    Recently I was going through my pile of old RPG papers and I found an interesting amateur RPG product. Back in the early 90s in Gainesville Florida I somehow acquired a black and white stapled volume of adventures. The originals were printed from a dot matrix printer, then photocopies were made...

    D&D General How to reboot the Forgotten Realms (+)

    Basically, you don't want to reboot the Realms, you want to remove all of the damaging reboots. TSR and later Wizards kept coming up with stupid cataclysms to create in-game justifications for the changes in rules / classes etc that happened between D&D editions. 1st to 2nd Ed. If you've...

    D&D General What are the coolest/most innovative mechanics D&D could take from other games?

    Anything that will give us more interesting non-combat mechanics that can be gracefully layered with ability checks would be good for D&D, I think. Not too many mini-games and subsystems, but general story-shaping tools.

    D&D General What are the coolest/most innovative mechanics D&D could take from other games?

    I have read Shadow of the Demonlord, but not played it. Boons and Banes do sound fun, but I don't know if they are so much better than advantage that I would replace it with them. Nice that they stack a bit though. In Shadow of the Demonlord I love that you choose a path/class essentially...

    Congratulations to WoTC for not choosing this hill to die on. I for one will gracefully accept their surrender, and simultaneously raise a toast to the crazy rebels who made this possible. We will not forget who stood by us in our hour of need.
