    Will there ever be new editions of the major systems?

    I mean I'm on record as a major Fate skeptic (and even more major Fate Accelerated hater) so it really does not surprise me to see their FitD stuff selling much better, but Fate was practically the center of the "but what else?" discussion in TTRPGs for so long, and I know it has it's devoted...

    Recommendation for next year's nomination thread: Include a short "this what a forum is, this is how to post" primer for all the newcomers.

    Will there ever be new editions of the major systems?

    Feels like we're due for a new Fate sometime relatively soon. YMMV but I still don't think they've gotten that where it needs to be

    Exploring Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    Now, I'm not going to say that there aren't things that are worth getting worked up over. There definitely are. Things like "should I get to have basic human rights?" or "which potato is best?" But no RPG property (or sub-property, for that matter!) should be getting anybody up to a stage where...

    What's the best die type and why is it the d12?

    Does Call of Cthulhu have you rolling so many d10s (I mean d100 but come on) because it makes sense to explore non-Euclidean spaces with non-Platonic solids?

    What's the best die type and why is it the d12?

    The answer is definitely the d12 but also I think you turned the d10 into a second d20 in your poll there

    D&D General Wild Magic, Yea or Nay?

    The Tome of Magic was my first non-core AD&D book I ever got to flip through, and I absolutely loved it. Wild mages in particular were always my favorite.

    General video game discussion

    It's almost like those critiques weren't being made in good faith! :unsure: The thing is, this exact mechanic has been conceptually in the series from the beginning, just never quite so explicit. But my Origins Mage Grey Warden was taking advantage of so many status effect combos (a personal...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons of Drakkenheim: a dark fantasy sandbox in a ruined city

    Oh believe you me, those gears were already turning as I was reading the initial adventure pitch, and they only spun faster as I moved through it. I do think there's ultimately a few things that would make the transition difficult, but I've already got in mind several replacements if that's what...
