    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    How long will that take ? At least until then there is stability in trade again. That tariff randomness was like poison to business.

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Well some of those don't sound equal. Spell slots for example is not just one thing. It is depending on class an level up to 9 different things to track. And let not forget absolute horrible fiddly and difficult stuff to remember like for example with the Psi Warrior where they mix different...

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Do you you track more or less resources Daggerheart then compared D&D 5E ? Because in 5E you need to track a naughty word ton especially when it comes to spell casting classes that then get various abilities on top. The only reason it doesn't get criticised more for this is the decades long familiarity...

    D&D 5E Dragon Age lead says Baldur’s Gate 3 and Clair Obscur prove publishers wrong as games can crush market trends is they’re “given time to cook”

    I would agree but the on some reflection I had actually more fun with Veilguard then with Inquisition. Inquisition just had so much boring boring open world filler content. So for me its Origins - DA2- Veilguard - Inquisition DA2 and Veilguard get too much s..t online. Inquisition imho doesn't...

    More New Monsters From 2025 Monster Manual Revealed

    Well that art of the Vampire Familiar and the stat blocks next to it probably wants to tell me something about alignment in D&D.....

    Daggerheart Core Set Covers Revealed

    I don't remember 4E selling cards to me. That is more something that for example 5E does with a ton of different (and quite expensive) card products for spells, magic items, monsters and NPCs.... But hey you got you cheap shot is at 4E. Personally speaking that limited edition set is looking...

    A Deep Dive into the 2024 D&D Player's Handbook

    That book needed another editing pass. You can see it especially in stuff like backgrounds, weapon masteries and fighting with two weapons. I dare to bet that we will see a lot of errata for the book.

    WotC How much does Hasbro / WotC impact your feelings towards D&D?

    Oh I can hate them instead. The day I hear that they will give Shadowrun into the hand of Pegasus Spiele will be the day when I will make an exception an be punch drunk and celebrating hard.

    Cosmere Overtakes Avatar Legends To Become Biggest TTRPG Kickstarter Ever!

    I must admit that it is kind of dope just to look at the kickstarter page for few minutes so shortly before the end and see backer numbers and total sum raising in quick little time intervals. This thing look like it can go to 14 million dollars. I am honestly impressed that you can make a P&P...

    D&D General D&D Player's Handbook 2024: The Official Advance Review

    I consider it a forced 2.5 edition. Forced because Paizo would probable not have made it that soon it the had a choice. But they needed to after that whole fiasco WotC tried to inflict on our hobby. Luckily for them they won't draw too much ire from their customer as almost everyone knows why...

    D&D General D&D Player's Handbook 2024: The Official Advance Review

    Essentials was an interesting case of of half edition because of the 4E rule system. All classes in 4E were self contained. Spells were part of the class powers and a huge number of Feats were class based as well. So as long as you didn't change the base rules you could change the game a lot by...

    D&D General D&D Player's Handbook 2024: The Official Advance Review

    Oh I call it 5.5E myself. A have played enough D&D editions to know exactly what I have before my eyes and why WotC made the half edition the way it is. Its just more people will call it on top of us grognards if WotC really is stupid enough and tries to censor that.

    D&D General D&D Player's Handbook 2024: The Official Advance Review

    Well if true that behaviours combined with all the goodwill WotC burned with their customers is a good way to create the opposite of what WotC wants. People will call is 5.5E or a new edition just out of spite for WotC. Nobody likes getting censored.

    D&D General D&D Player's Handbook 2024: The Official Advance Review

    Well I call dibs on a "Curse of Strahd: Ultimate Edition" TM as one of the first candidate for revision. A few updated 5.5E Monster stats, some smoothing of rough edges in the adventure, a few extra encounters sprinkled in and to top it off a few options like spells, playable species and class...

    D&D General D&D Player's Handbook 2024: The Official Advance Review

    Fair. But the imho Paizo probably wouldn't have made their version of a .05 edition or lets call it mid cycle product refreshment that soon. WotC pushed them here by their ill fated try of a nasty power grab. So pesonnaly while not liking it I don't consider this a money grab but more as a act...

    D&D General D&D Player's Handbook 2024: The Official Advance Review

    With people that are currently playing 5E or 5.5E maybe yes. With people that are not up to date with the current edition but are somewhat familiar with D&D probably not. Also don't underestimate the familiarity build with typing 3E/3.5E for years upon years. It WotC marketing speech battling...

    D&D General D&D Player's Handbook 2024: The Official Advance Review

    Indeed. In the end it is matter of how to have a quick and and easy way to distinguish the book version in internet discussions. WoTC can call it whatever they want. I am lazy and will use what A) needs the the least typing effort B) is recognized by almost all people. Or to put it like this...

    Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive TTRPG Makes $1M In Under An Hour

    Don't think that you are alone. D&D 5E has overstayed its welcome for me a while ago. Back to the topic at hand: While I have read next to no novels of Mr. Sanderson. I don't begrudge anyone his success with RPG kickstarters. The higher the better. It shows that our hobby is alive and more then...

    D&D (2024) Has the new PHB reveals made you want to stick to an older edition of D&D, or to move onto a 5e-adjacent RPG?

    Let me say this: The change in 5E to the new 2024 version is already bigger then several CoC editions combined. As I said in my previous post it all depends on how much you trust WotC words and in 5E bucking the normal product circle. And yet here we are with 5.5E. The product cycle cycles and...

    D&D (2024) Has the new PHB reveals made you want to stick to an older edition of D&D, or to move onto a 5e-adjacent RPG?

    Be free to place your trust in WotC. Especially during the release days of a new half edition.
