    D&D's Lack of 2026 Announcements Actually Follows Precedent

    So when it comes to announcements there are three very important channels that need to be informed, and they have differing timeline needs. There's the hobby channel, that Fitz is part of, that likes to be notified 2-3 months in advance. Typically from their distributors. There's the book...

    D&D Workbooks Announced by Penguin Random House

    Glad this is on the market. Basically DM 101-102 level stuff it seems - which is GOOD! It's not for me; but would have made a great holiday present for my son the budding DM. Well, his birthday is in July, and here's hoping it'll be on shelves at that point.

    D&D General Turgenev's Friday Freebie Maps

    Interestingly, the black background map has a 21 that is floating between 19a and 22; whereas the other two versions don't. Oh actually, on further inspection, the version with the "marble" background also has it, but the white text is VERY faint and almost invisible. I wonder if in the white...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Finished the Other Wind, final volume of Earthsea. My massive volume also has 4 more short stories and an essay from UKlG too that I still have to read - prob by New Years. However I can say without reservation that this is a masterpiece of fiction. Le Guin's ability to capture the nuance of...

    What Are Your Favourite Movie Quotes?

    Ah yes, speaking of movies from down under... "I'm just here for the gasoline." (roughly, it's been 20+ years since I last saw I think)

    It's Time to VOTE for your MOST ANTICIPATED TTRPG of 2026!

    You'd have to create a web page for it, and ensure No Game was not yet available to the general public, but still expected this year ;-)

    It's Time to VOTE for your MOST ANTICIPATED TTRPG of 2026!

    I voted Apoc World Burned Over; Stonetop (again rofl); and Ex Tenebris - all things I backed. Pioneer I am also curious about; but will wait until it's released. I Handiwork's high quality rpg books as objects, and Jon Hodgson seems a standup business man - but the theme isn't my cup of tea this...

    Well, for the first year in a long time, I only had 3 games I was excited for - so I voted for them. I love it when a plan comes together.

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

    I wonder if playing with 3d4 would be easier or harder than with 2d6 to "shut the box"?

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Draw Steel, KING MORG, Enchanted Trinkets, and more

    The way they handled a printing error in Kingdoms and Warfare (iirc) was ethical and standup, and probably cost them a ton of money. I full on respect them for that.

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2025

    Also, huge ups to whoever named the author of the linked article (I assume their parents or perhaps themselves).

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Agree with that. I found the books to be somewhat mid, but with a deft Miyazaki-like hand, could be quite excellent anime/manga. And doesn't have to be a genius like Miyazaki, but at least someone who has a style that is both winsome and gritty...

    2026 Intentions-Goals-Objectives... maybe even resolutions!

    For the past few years, I've been biased towards reading adventures, settings, and campaigns. 2026 I'm going to focus on my backlog of systems and rules-sets. Here's my list of systems, in order of how they are on my bookshelf. Cairn 2e Urban Shadows 2e PrimeTime Adventures 2e Sleepaway Last...

    Thread block

    I ignored someone for some sort of reason, which I quickly forgot. A month or two later I noticed I couldn't see their posts, and I got all heated up "why did that person block me? I'm a good person!" Then after a week or two of that nonsense, I checked my settings and guess who had blocked who...
