The golden age of TTRPGs is not now. The golden age was in the 1980's when TTRPGs of all kinds were coming out and becoming successful. What we have been experiencing since around 2015-2016 is a silver age, or renaissance of TTRPGs. While I agree with some of the points Riggs has made; I don't...

Appreciate your review (and your initial skepticism, which I share), enough that I am inclined to actually look further at the book.

When I ran my Eberron adventures, I titled the sessions like chapters from a pulp novel. Some examples are: 1. Death on the Docks 2. There and Back Again 3. The Wonderful World of the Renegade Artificer of Dirz 4. Bring Me the Head of Darwell Umbruskor 5. Interlude of Carnage 6. Won't Get Fooled...

Thank you so much. Nice to have this information in an easy-to-find place. Peace and good gaming to all!

I play with a group in which we've known each other since college. For us, that will be 40 years this year. To keep humor from entering into our games would be like keeping a vampire away from a blood bank - way too difficult and a waste of time. We enjoy not only catching up but also seeing...

Which includes moving on to new game systems.

D&D 5e will die only as much (and probably a lot less) as 1e, 2e, 3x, and 4e have died, which is to say, it will not die. As long as the reference materials are out there and people want to play the game, it will be played. It may die as a cash-cow for Hasbro one day, and there will likely be...

I use a plethora of Eberron content off of DM's Guild, including Keith Baker's supplements, because there is nothing for that setting from WotC beyond Rising from the Last War for 5e. I've also used some adventures from Kobold Press. Beyond that, it's just been fan-based material from DM's...

When Cynthia Williams starts having WotC selling cross-stitch and crochet kits, then I'll know the D&D party is over and call it a day.

When Cynthia Williams starts having WotC sell cross-stitch and crochet kits, then I'll know the party is over and it's time to call it a day.

My group has enough D&D 5e and earlier material that if we choose, we can ignore any new rulebooks or bells & whistles for a new version. We also have history with Pathfinder and other systems, so we may choose to go that route. I do not see us adopting 1D&D, and if we did, it would be a few...

Sh*t just got real.

I had at least hoped what we were hearing was coming more from Hasbro proper and not WotC, but it seems bottom-line management is rampant in the WotC division of Hasbro. Sadly, it does not surprise me. Those bean-counters have never understood the customers of this "product" which has pushed...

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I agree with your assessment here. I suspect Matt is the one who is finding combat in 5th ed. is boring and assuming, or projecting, that sentiment to the majority of the D&D community. I watched this video last night and I was a little surprised it came from Matt Colville - the guy who has...
