Mark Finn is an expert on Robert E. Howard and a life-long gamer. I thought this was a great article on how games were played back-in-the-day, it's certainly how we played, and a great peek into a different style of play for a lot of modern gamers. The long and short of it is: set up obstacles...

Another great history lesson / lore drop from Ben over at Questing Beast.

Great video by Ben at Questing Beast today. A little bit of the hobby's history for those who're interested.

In a video released today, Matt Colville gives an update on the state of the MCDM RPG. TL;DR: They've dropped everyone rolling 2d6 for damage and instead are using a PbtA-like three-step success ladder for abilities and skills going forward. To be clear, there’s still no null result. It’s...

This is being done by Khanjan Patel of Silver Compass Maps. I can’t find any solid info about the setting yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing more. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/silvercompassmaps/devabhumi-a-dandd-5e-setting-inspired-by-ancient-india

Over on the Piazza someone posted about this. https://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?t=33192 Bill Hoyt is one of the original Blackmoor players. After OD&D came out he started his own campaign. These documents are his notes from that campaign. The materials are freely available here...

The plus [+] is to prevent arguments about whether 5E is challenging enough RAW. This thread is about discussing ways to make 5E more challenging for the PCs. Arguing that it's challenging enough by default is off topic. Okay, so 5E isn't challenging enough and you want to make it more...

“Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made. Spaceballs the T-shirt, Spaceballs the Coloring Book, Spaceballs the Lunch box, Spaceballs the Breakfast Cereal, Spaceballs the Flame Thrower!” Yeah. It’s real. Real weird, too.

Which of these two best describes your default approach to handling the rules of the game? Permissive. This stance follows the principle that if the rules don't explicitly forbid an action, then it is considered permitted. Players operating under a permissive stance often seek creative...

Not a great sign of things to come. At least we know one avenue they’ll try to use to increase revenues. https://www.wargamer.com/hasbro-ceo-ai-predictions Original interview: https://venturebeat.com/games/how-hasbro-is-jumping-on-the-game-opportunity-chris-cocks-interview/

Announced yesterday, RPGnet is merging with RPGMatch. RPGMatch is owned by Renegade Games Studios. Not sure if this will be a good thing or a bad thing. The higher ups and mods posting on RPGnet seem happy about the merger. Linda Codega did an interview with the two company heads over on...

A fairly simple follow-up question. As a player, would you play in a multi-year campaign that only used the 5.1 SRD? Only the races and subraces in the SRD. Hill dwarf, high elf, lightfoot halfling, standard human, dragonborn, rock gnome, half-elf, half-orc, and tiefling. No others. Only the...

Breaking out a tangent in the “boring bits” thread with its own thread. Seems a fairly simply question, but there are some strong feelings about it. So, as per the title: who “owns” a PC after the player stops using them?

I know everyone will have different answers, and that’s great, that’s the point. When playing D&D (any edition), what are the boring bits you wish you could skip? Try to be specific rather than general. If you don’t like combat, what parts of combat don’t you like? If you don’t like travel...

I stumbled across this randomly on Facebook thanks to the Secrets of Blackmoor page and thought more people should see it. Someone over on the Ruins of Murkhill forum filed a request for the complete documents related to the Arneson v Gygax case and it was granted. That Murkhill link goes to...

Simple question. No need for a poll. I keep looking at the mess that is DMG page 74 and how much easier and quicker it would be to switch to attack bonuses and ascending AC. For people still playing AD&D, how would you feel about the switch?

https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/goodman-games/return-to-the-purple-planet?ref=bk-discover-search With 4820 people signed up before the funding went live, this looks like a good one for Goodman Games. The reprint itself is $45 for print and PDF. The Erol Otus cover of the DCC RPG is $70...
