“Once I have drunk the blood of all the town’s virgins, I will destroy all accessibility ramps to my lair. Mwahahaha!”

looks great! It would be nice if you included some literary inspiration as well.

Spelljammer confirmed!

This is probably the product I’m looking forward to most in 2024.

Since no one in this thread suggested that the physical copies should be free, I'm not sure whom you're complaining about and who has lost the right to be heard.

This makes me feel much better about it. Thanks for the info!

I'm excited about the 2nd edition, but wow, is their playtest expensive! $48 for the softcover playtest rulebook and $25 for the first playtest adventure. And it's not a complete ruleset. You also need the Pathfinder Core books. I hope they'll release it online for free.

I think we might be on the same page as far as the worth of boycotting all things 5e, but we have a disagreement about how branding works. The analogy you use is fitting.

Love the artwork attached to this article.

While I appreciate the gist of the article for D&D, I'm not sure I agree. Star Wars did not revert to a multiverse; Disney just decided that the Legends novels weren't canon anymore. And Middle Earth doesn't have a multiverse as far as I know. Since those are two of the largest franchises, I...

I think they need to come out with a basic version of the game. I guess that's what the starter sets are for, but I'd like to see a dedicated rulebook for beginners. I fear this new version, with its extra feat at 1st level and the various weapon properties, will turn off new gamers with the...
