    It's the End of the World As We Know It: Apocalyptic Campaign Settings

    Pre-Apocalypse is definitely the common one for me, but that's mostly because my main game is probably Call of Cthulhu, where "the end is nigh, but you might still have a shot at delaying it" is the default. But I chose No Apocalypse, because I'm starting to prefer lower-stakes stories where...

    Freebies, Sales, and Charity Bundles for August 17, 2025

    FYI: the link to the Keeper's Collection doesn't want to load (the tab keeps closing itself) and I can't find it on Humble. Am I a bit early or...?

    Looks interesting enough. I'll keep an eye on it.

    Sword World to Get Official English Translation

    Nice! I've got the fan translations saved somewhere, but never gave them a proper read-through. For those looking for a crash-course on Lodoss War, WilliamSRD did a rundown on it a couple months back... That apparently got pulled from YT because of all of the anime clips, so here's the Patreon...

    John Kovalic Looks Back On Over Two Decades Of Munchkin

    Yeah, I tend to stick to specific genres (usually with the numbered expansions, but still). Bites, Cthulhu, Zombies, etc. Personally, I'd love to see re-releases of the D&D 3E books and Chez Geek/Goth. Loved those to pieces.

    D&D's October Product Revealed to Be Stranger Things Tie-In

    And is probably a Life Cleric. Because few players WANT to cover support.

    D&D's New Solo Player Guideline Explained

    Yeah, I occasionally experiment with this. Tried to make the most dirt-simple brawler imaginable (because I'm basic). Ended up giving a Champion Fighter a reworked Martial Arts (uses STR, starts at d6, no monk weapons) and Unarmored Defence (CON). Just keep pumping STR/CON and you can pummel...

    D&D's New Solo Player Guideline Explained

    So, rerolls and an HP boost? Eh, it definitely would help in combat, but not by a massive amount. I like a lot of the suggestions here: give non-Fighters Second Wind (alt-idea: Arcane Vigor as a per-rest power), extra lore skills, up-porting sidekicks, or just letting the player run a full...

    D&D Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple Coming to PAX East

    Reminds me of Pointy Hat's Druid video, where his example PC was an abandoned gardening automaton that eventually gained (or was gifted) sentience.
