What Do I Know? » Dungeons & Dragons

One of the joys of my early D&D experiences was discovering Dragon Magazine. I wasn’t just excited to have new optional rules, I was excited because I could read ideas shared by other people running the game. Sometimes these articles would open up ideas that I would never have had otherwise. Other times, I would have a general idea that ..read more

Have you ever just sat back and wondered, “what have I done with my life?” Do you ever search for meaning when looking back on your youth, wondering if you derived any meaning from your early years, or if they are just lost to you, years that you know existed, but can’t grasp? I mean, when making your characters. That’s ..read more

So much crowdfunding, so little money! It’s always tricky trying to look at quickstart rules or previews and still get something written in time for it to potentially matter for the funding campaign. What we’re looking at today should have about a week left (until April 11th, 2024) from the time this first impression goes up for you to decide ..read more

Today we’re going to head back into the D&D novel library and take a look at the most recent official D&D novel. These come out way less often than they used to, especially when you’re looking at authors that aren’t R.A. Salvatore or Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis (and Hickman and Weis only write new Dragonlance trilogies very infrequently). You ..read more

The Shadow of the Demon Lord Kickstarter is one of the crowdfunding projects that I backed where I felt almost guilty for all the material I received, in comparison to the amount of money I invested in the project. At the level I backed, I just kept getting more and more material. Rulebooks, sourcebooks, adventures, it all just kept coming ..read more

Worldwide pandemics that devastate the world, fade out of the public consciousness, and then resurge. US Supreme Court decisions that erode the legal assumptions of modern life.

I’ve gone through a few cycles of thoughts since I’ve been looking at the Daggerheart playtest rules. First, I was really interested in diving into it and very intrigued. Then I was a little daunted with the amount of material that was in the playtest packet. Then, for a while, I didn’t even want to talk about the game, because ..read more

Let’s do a First Impression today. In this case, it’s not because it’s a product that I haven’t been able to read cover to cover, or because it’s not the final version of a product, or because there is some element of the content I’m not familiar with, like products made for multiple game systems. Then you have those products ..read more

I know it’s always dangerous to become predictable, but I have a secret. Don’t tell anyone. The easiest way to get me to buy an additional book for your game system after I have picked up the core rules is to put out a bestiary. Can you really have enough monsters? I don’t think so. Disclaimer I was sent a ..read more
