Yeah. Collect what you like. In recent years, I started collecting fossils. It started out with Megalodon teeth but I ran across a sweet trilobite a few years ago I managed to get for a song and it was on. This year I ran across the biggest Megalodon tooth I'd seen for sale and I bought it...

Others have already said this, but people are going to scream no matter what WotC does. I can't help but think the people who have very strong feelings about Dark Sun are going to be older folk like me who don't really matter much from a demographic point of view.

I think most people who own Funkos are like me in that they have one or a handful from an IP they're fans of. There are probably a few whales who have dozens or even hundreds because they love collecting them for some reason. The funny thing is there are always people who want to collect...

https://rollingout.com/2025/11/08/funko-announces-concerns-companys-future/ Sales are down, their debt is high, and they're hemorrhaging money. I own exactly one Funko product and it's a Cthulhu figure that's been sitting on my desk at work for about ten years now. Occasionally a coworker...

I kind of wonder how controversial it'd really be. Curse of Strahd had several elements you'd think would be rather controversial including genocide, human trafficking, child murder, cannibalism, domestic abuse, sexual abuse (at least hinted at), and maybe a few others I can't think of off the...

Yeah. I thought the same thing when I played BG3 myself, but the counter argument is that video games are different from table top role playing games. I think D&D is many things to many different people. For some people, D&D can be a video game featuring some hot bear on humanoid action. For...

In D&D 5th edition, even starting characters do not represent the statistical norm. Your 1st level halfling Fighter is better trained, better equipped, and more powerful than the majority of halflings in the setting. By level three, your halfling is like a Navy Seal if he had been bitten by a...

Even with this news, I'm going to be a little surprised if a WotC released another version of Dark Sun. Mainly because some of their employees said in the not too distant past they couldn't release a version true to the original without angering many of their customers.

I tend to think of conquistadores in the New World as perhaps the closest to D&D style adventurers we've come to in real life. Just what little I know about Cortés, his behavior seemed like your typical PC who didn't think the normal rules of society applied to him. There's Fallout, the RPG...

Maybe they sustained an injury that left them with a lower Strength? WotC has pivoted away from restrictions on characters based on species, I can't imagine they want to place restrictions on backgrounds.

When I play a game I want it to be different from my real life. I have a few on my bucket list: The Great Pendragon Campaign. An epic campaign in Arthurian Britain starting with the reign of Uther Pendragon and ending with le morte d'Arthur. You start the campaign with kite shields while...

It's not a big concern of mine either. I love miniatures, obviously, and I do like to have one that somewhat resembles a PC, monster, or NPC, but I'm just happy to have something that's close whenever possible. If I can't find that miniature, I'm just as happy to use anything else. Dice...

I just wrapped up running Winter of Atom (WoA), a full campaign for the Fallout 2d20 RPG published by Modiphius. The long and short of it is as follows: This campaign is worth playing. I'm going to avoid meaningful spoilers as best I can, placing them in the bubble of shame, at least in the...
