    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    I suspect that the best odds might come from just exploiting human laziness and the relative obscurity of TTRPGs to the larger world. Folks who (without misrepresenting their product) play up the book part of their product and play down the game part might be more likely to get a favorable...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    For what it's worth, Shadowrun had their rulebook classified as a book much more recently: Customs Ruling NY N341888 - The tariff classification of a rule book from China

    Level Up (A5E) Guardian of Faith Errata Question

    I checked. Guardian of Faith is in the SRD for O5e, which means that it’s actually even easier to license now because it’s now in the Creative Commons, not just under the OGL. But even if it wasn’t, it would be just as easy to license as fireball or magic missile

    Level Up (A5E) Guardian of Faith Errata Question

    I note that the guardian of faith spell was removed from some NPC stat blocks in the errata because, as it turns out, it doesn’t exist in A5e. My question is, why not take the opposite approach and errata the spell into A5e? It already had to be done with Hex, so there’s precedent, and it would...

    Level Up (A5E) A5eSRD Update Timeline?

    Any sense of when we can expect updates to the A5eSRD? I know this would probably be last one the list, but I would love to use some of the monsters in MoMe2 in a product I'm working on. Any number of GPG things would also be awesome.

    Level Up (A5E) Heroic monsters and animal companions

    Have we considered the fact that allied heroic monsters only level up every other time the party does, while archetype-companions gain bonuses every time?

    Level Up (A5E) Has A5e evolved since it first came out?

    Or if not, have at least contributed to the Gate Pass Gazette. It’s a fairly tight-knit community

    Level Up (A5E) Has A5e evolved since it first came out?

    I’m biased because I wrote it, but Secrets of the Selkies has a combat tradition called the Selfless Sentinel designed to let you properly tank damage for your teammates. There have also been a lot of combat traditions that introduce magical maneuvers like the Eldritch Balckguard, which was...

    Homebrew How did you get into making content?

    Out of curiosity, why are you asking? Are you looking for ways to get started yourself? As for me, I had been homebrewing my own stuff for O5e for a while, and when A5e came out, I saw the space to reinvent a lot of design space that O5e already had filled, which got me really excited...

    Level Up (A5E) Every Archetype in A5e AND 3PP

    The GPG explicitly tries not to cover ground covered by O5e. The 3PP community is much more open to conversions of this sort (e.g. Heroes Old and New). EN Publishing wants to be able to distinguish itself from O5e, while the 3PP community wants to fill in the gaps, so it’s a complementary...

    Level Up (A5E) Every Archetype in A5e AND 3PP

    Can confirm! I’ve loved being the data guy for the last few years, but I have other priorities I need to focus on now, and Grant is a worthy successor!
