Unless a fantasy setting is doing a very specific thing, I prefer the setting to be clever with its real-world analogies. What I mean by that is, if you’re going to have a fantasy nation that looks like 1300 CE France, I don’t want it to be the same size as 1300s France. I don’t want all of the cities ..read more

A while back, I picked apart what Rangers were in pop culture and games and how all of that congealed in my head to create my core concept of what I wanted in a Ranger character class. Now that WotC has released their first post-2024 Player’s Handbook Unearthed Arcana with the playtest version of the Artificer, and reading some thoughts ..read more

Green Ronin has adopted a strategy of releasing smaller PDF products to support the various lines they publish. I like this development because some of Green Ronin’s properties have been extremely interesting, but supporting everything they release with physical releases seemed to bottleneck a lot of support. While some of these products in the past have been smaller releases, like ..read more

Let’s start the month with a look at an adventure released for Under the Seas of Vodari, The Hunt for the Undine. If you haven’t looked at the setting, The Seas of Vodari is a third-party D&D setting of fantasy pirates and swashbuckling, with all the D&D-isms built in. Under the Seas of Vodari is the expansion of the setting ..read more

Continuing my look at D&D Beyond 3rd party implementation, I’m going to look at one that is potentially even more extensive than the Illrigger class, which is meant to work with standard D&D campaigns. Specifically, I’m looking at Lord of the Rings Roleplaying from Free League and how it translates to D&D Beyond. While the Lord of the Rings Roleplaying ..read more

I know better than to try to blog about every game session that I run. I’ve tried to do it in the past, but inevitably, I get behind. Then I have a weird series of blog posts with less than half a campaign, and then I try to do a wrap-up, and it’s a mess. What helps now is that ..read more

With all the new 3rd party content appearing on D&D Beyond and knowing some of the site’s quirks, I wanted to look at some of that content to see how well it’s been implemented. The first 3rd party product I’m looking at is the Illrigger. Because some companies have sold piecemeal items on the site, I wanted to clarify this ..read more

Sorry, everybody, I’m slowly able to process nerdy content. However, I’m still not in my proper game discussion/analysis mindset, so I hope you appreciate another rumination of Marvel superhero media. Yesterday, I wanted Lindsey Ellis’s video on the timeline of the Fox X-Men movies, and she expressed an opinion that I’d not seen before. I wanted to explain why I ..read more

Every day, I see new social media posts about whether Wanda Maximoff has atoned enough for her to return as a hero. The number of people who love to hate Wanda just convinces me that people hate people who have had actual tragedies in their lives. Let’s look at Wanda’s “crimes:” She gets experimented on by Baron Strucker She colludes ..read more

When Mork Borg first came out, there was a lot of discussion about the book’s wild layout. It was very bold and very stylized, and it was also tough for some people to read. There was enough discussion that eventually, a version of the rules came out that didn’t have quite the same wild stylization. When I say “some people ..read more
