    Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2026

    Well, if you are going to pick nits, maybe attend to the details...? Legends of the Mist is available to the general public, anyone can go and buy it on DriveThruRPG right now, backer or not. Hence, it doesn’t qualify as a new game in 2026.

    Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2026

    You might want to check again: any availability is disqualifying.

    Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2026

    For the purposes of this nomination, PDF releases are diaqualifying, IIRC.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    In this case, WotC had a pre-order bundle of Riaing from the Last War with this book, so people could get them both together.

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    So, this weekend is Dragonsteel Nexua, the Cosmere convention in Salt Lake City, and they will be having a number of panels about forthcoming products. They will also have an epic shared 400 player adventure in Organized Play set in the Rosharan Brone Age, which they have now said will also be...

    Is Acquisitions Inc. switching to Daggerheart? Yes!

    Amusing that most of the cast didn't pick up on yhe Daggerheart change. "Cirirate Comedy and Corporate Horror...with which we are both familiar". Chris Perkins is a riot.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    A Magic the Gathering "Setting Anthology" would make a lot of sense. The Settijgs are mostly high concept...like Campaign Frames. It would make more sense to have a book with MtG mechanics (Species, Monsters) that treats different Planes in a Campaign Frame style.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    But here's the thing: the wberron Monster blocks from Riaing from the Last War are closer to the 2024 MM than the 2014 one. They don't really need updating. Really the Dragonmarks were the only thing that really needed to change, mechanically.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Spell points are deceptively complex in practice, while spell slots are surprisingly easy at the table.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    If anything, I think WptC should imitate Daggerheart and explore more lightweight and focused "Campaign Frame" type approaches.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    I think a longer campaign book os not entirely out of the question even: a big campaign with Stormreach as a base, detailing Kendrick would make a lot of sense.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    That's a major feature, the commitment to absolutely no metaplot is a key part of what makes Eberron great and enduring. Exactly, almost everything in Riaing from the Last War remains relevant and usable at the table as a result. More than just the sample Adventures, this is alao how the...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Well, that is part of the "First World" cosmic echoes cosmology which the Xore books lightly assume. Pretty easy to use or ignore as desired.
