While it's interesting, I wonder how well it will do. With Paizo's other projects outside the pnp RPGs of Pathfinder/Starfinder, things don't go so well. Their MMO collapsed, most of their board/card games tend to be mediocre at best (with the possible exception being the Pathfinder Adventure...

I don't really have an issue with Innsmouth and Cthulhu in D&D, heck I might even run it as a one-shot. But it being a Ravenloft Domain I like a LOT less. But I get it as a horror 'tool' it needs to be in the book, and adding it as a Domain would be a consequence of it showing up in this book...

There are many things that are part of you as a person, you don't share or 'demand' at first introduction, if ever. Sorry, but I don't really care about your sexual orientation, nor do I really care about your gender expression. If I'm curious and it's appropriate, I'll ask. It seems a bit like...

As for the 'alphabetsoup', it depends on where you live the percentages might be lower then in other parts of the world. Some are higher, some are lower. A the results from my home country in 2024: The Netherlands has 2.7 million LGBTQIA people Google some trends about percentual changes in the...

When I start reading this article, things are amiss when I read: Agricultural Integrity Tactical Empowerment Disintegration I might need more weekend... ;)

But in D&D 5e 2024 it's a LOT of labour (Thinkerer): 50gp for the tinker's tools, 250gp for the musket materials, and 400 hours of work making one. Based on our 40 hour working week, that would be two and a half months of work, or maybe 5 muskets per year per Thinkerer. Of course the Thinker...

Resistant to Piercing damage: Air/Fire Elementals, Animated Shrubs or Trees, Ghosts, a Swarm of Bats/Rats or Crawling Hands, etc. But even basic Skeletons have enough HP to not die in one hit from a Musket, chances are that they can close fast enough to do some damage. Heck, they even have...

Student loans! ;) Maybe, depending on how your rifleman died, it was either trampled by a monster or captured by the enemy... 500gp gone. I also suspect that training a wizard costs a LOT more then 500gp. But it makes them a LOT more versatile when employed. Just imagine what a level 5 wizard...

Yes, but that's where the gun 'economy' is at in a default D&D campaign. While guns might be common in places such as the US, here (Netherlands) they are rare (1 for every 90 people, in the US it's about 135x more prevalent). But we can still get modern weapons, we do not need to invent weapons...

Besides training and experience, he's described as having an "Abnormal pain tolerance". And if that's based in a super power or just something genetic, stress, psychological factors (depression, anxiety), or past traumatic experiences (or all of the above) remains to be seen.

They already have, it's called 'Firebolt', a cantrip that you can cast infinitly, without ammo. And has the range of a musket, as well as almost the same damage, which can be potentially a LOT more at higher levels. A Musket costs 500gp and you need training to use it. But if you qualify for...

The announcement was in May 2012. the game released in December 2020. And honestly the hype did more damage to the game then it helped, sure everyone knew C2077 was coming, but that was it imho. Especialy after the 'gameplay' footage from August 2018 that blew most of us away, we all had...

The thing they forget to mention when they sell you a house with a big garden is that you have to maintain the bloody thing! The bit of grass we have also tends to drown during certain rainy seasons (=all of them), that generally has to do with not having enough drainage (in the layers of soil...

In that same trend, we might need a 'Reynard' tag... ;)

I would say it isn't the direct successor, 3e was. But 5e incorporates a LOT from all the previous incarnations, including what NOT to do (I'm looking at you 4e!)... I started D&D with the old Red Box (in Dutch) and quickly moved over to AD&D2e when it came out, we played it for a LONG time and...

Honestly, a generic D&D fanmade magazine would not hold that much interest for me. As someone mentioned, there's so much out there already, and so many other forms of media that fill a similar space. Also not all (fanbased) magazines are created equally, with so much media already available, do...

Nasa's budget is about equivalent to the NFL's yearly revenue, maybe kill American Football before killing NASA... ;) Might save a lot in traumatic brain injuries while you're at it!

The problem with that is that the whole character concept was centered around being a Decker and/or a Rigger, if their gimmick was only a roll, they would be sitting on their hands the rest of the session... There are other ways to do it, but none of the official versions have done it right...

That king might be backed by others far more powerful, but that's not personal power. Those connections can be broken far more easily then actual personal power. The dragon might be reasoned with (before or after), a church might be shown that the king does not represent the church's ideals (and...

Alignment is separate from intelligence. But what entails intelligent behaviour in a D&D fantasy world is very different from what is intelligent behaviour in our real world. In our real world, the range of personal power is very limited. In a D&D fantasy world PCs can attain levels of personal...
