    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    Ah, good point. YT is pretty silly that way. So I guess it's still not worth ascribing malice yet, but it does set a higher bar to engaging with Bob and attempting to inform him, if that's even necessary. ¯\(ツ)/¯ Not really sure how I feel about commenting either.

    Samesies; my comment's gone. He's now got a permanent spot on my Do Not Support list.

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    I did the same on Bob's video. Maybe it'll inform him. I don't ascribe malice to either of these content creators, as ignorance is more likely. But for this and other reasons, I have unsubscribed and no longer view any of their stuff (Ben for about a year now)

    Sad seeing Bob World Builder and Ben Milton/Questing Beast still singing DCC's praises after all of this, too. So many people will inadvertently support this awfulness unaware of its effects on the community.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Connecting the 7s is probably a problem in any configuration. You need separation between them to ensure they read as distinct number 7s, as opposed to anything else. Never muddy the actual name of your company!

    Monster Overhaul has great tables for wizards. Bard you might have to find something fitting, but considering the number of tables in that book, it shouldn't be too hard to find one that fits.

    James Ohlen Shifts From Archetype Entertainment Head to Creative Consultant for Tabletop RPGs at Wizards

    I'm wondering if that's not actually a part of it. His DMsGuild work got pretty decent marketing... For DMsGuild work. But Exodus got practically nothing. Maybe this is a "I think we can do better, let me show you how" moment?

    Heroes of Baldur's Gate. A great sourcebook and interesting mini-campaign for levels 1 to about 6-ish.

    D&D General How well does mixing 5es in one table work?

    I'm diving into Nimble now and from my read of it, characters are not going to map 1:1, you pretty much have to use Nimble. That said, you can easily add new abilities (basically the class-specific Feats in Nimble, which have different names by class) with ease, and they can pretty much look...

    Cartoon TTRPG 'Toon' Set to Return with New Second Edition

    This weird nostalgia-for-a-previous-generation's-entertainment is a big thing, actually. When I went to see the recent Looney Tunes movie (Daffy + Porky) in its limited release, most of the audience was a younger generation, and they brought their kids. I don't know if they feel enough affinity...

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

    d12, because it's fun to roll and works just as well as a d6 or d4 in a pinch. I've been eyeing these 12-sided d4s on Amazon for a while...

    D&D General D&D Dungeon Map Design: Good and Bad

    Seconding all of this. One great example is a lot of Caverns of Thracia (talk about going back to the founding and finding good examples!) where encounters are, by design, taking advantage of the map. There's an awesome one with a door to a refrigerator-room, there's fun hallway fights against...

    Free League Announces Anime-Inspired Twilight Sword RPG

    Jokes aside, this is a great callout. I'm planning a D&D intro for my nephew since he sorta happened into a copy of the Starter Set and Essentials Kit, and am absolutely handling defeat in this way, as he doesn't handle serious violence well. My main changes are making all the villains markedly...
