    Path of the Planebreaker: ?

    Hello, friends. I recently purchased Path of the Planebreaker from Monte Cook Games, and I am wondering if anyone has experience using it. I am not going to run it with 5e, so there will be some modifications necessary (the first of which is, what system will I run it with? Dungeon Crawl...

    Planning vs. Riffing: On Being Over Prepared

    Friends, I am beginning to plan a sword&sorcery campaign using the Dungeon Crawl Classics rules, with a little bit of their Lankhmar stuff thrown in. One of the things I keep telling myself is to not over plan, and to let some of the story occur naturally. There is a certain amount of randomness...

    Dragonbane: History?

    Greetings, friends. So, my group and I have been playing Dragonbane for a few months now, and we really like it. It's an easy system; not too crunchy, not too narrative. It's fully supported on Roll20, which is necessary for us since we are geographically separate, and are all middle aged dudes...

    Kickstarter Backerkit: Dungeon Crawl Classics on Roll20!

    "The Worst People You Have Never Met, or, What I Learned During A Four Year Academic Study of Online Harassment In The Dungeons & Dragons Community"

    I read this article this morning--it is long--and was shocked without being surprised. The unreal toxicity on places like Twitter (sorry...X) and Reddit always boggle my mind, but this woman's deep dive made just how awful it can be much more clear. Please be advised, there is some dark stuff in...

    Dragonbane: The Secret of the Dragon Emperor

    I am just now starting to read through this campaign that came with the Dragonbane Boxed Set. Has anyone run this, and if so, what are your observations? We've played four sessions of Dragonbane so far, and it's gone well, but I've been homebrewing.

    Castles&Crusades: Is this "The One"?

    Hello, TTRPG friends. I have just discovered Castles&Crusades, and OSR game from Troll Lords. Me like. Someone on Reddit said something I have been trying to articulate for four years: 5e does mechanically what older games did narratively. That was like an afflatus for me! I'm not slamming...

    Purple 20 for DCC and Roll20

    Hello, friends. A member of my gaming group created a Google Chrome extension that allows you to connect Roll20 to The Purple Sorcerer (much like Beyond20 connects D&D Beyond to Roll20). For those of you who play DCC on a VTT, this should be a very helpful tool! Purple 20

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up A5E vs. WotC 5E...?

    Greeting friends. I don't know much about Level Up A5E, but @SlyFlourish loves it, and has talked about it such glowing terms that now I'm curious. My question is this: are the characters as buffed in A5E as they are in WotC5E? I have found that PCs in Tiers 1&2 are basically superheroes by...

    OSR vs OSE

    Friends, is OSR a catch all for games of a certain type (Old School Renaissance) vs. OSE which is a specific game system (Old School Essentials)? I have seen them used interchangeably, which is confusing. Frog God Games has game materials that are labelled "OSR," but I am not sure what--if...

    Dragonbane by Free League

    Anyone tried this one yet? Beautiful artwork, and a clean (albeit limited) rule set and bestiary. It's based on Chaosium's BRP system, which I have always loved, and has a lot of Magic World DNA, as well as a little Rune Quest thrown in. Free League makes nice games.

    Dragonbane: Roll20 Character Sheet (S.O.S)

    This is a characters sheet for Dragonbane on Roll20. On the right hand side of the screen, the numbers in red. Can anyone tell me what in the Nine Hells they are? It's not damage. I cannot for the life of me figure out what that number is for. I am going to take up drinking again if I can't...

    Kobold Press: Confuzzling

    I am digging into some Kobold Press stuff, which I really like. I am a bit turned around re: Tome of Beasts (1-3), Tome of Beasts 1(5e), Deep Magic 5e, and Deep Magic 1&2. Are there large differences between the non-5e materials and the 5e materials? Then, Tales of the Valiant will have its own...
