The surprise is more that he managed to stay that long.

In related news, this: https://www.gameontabletop.com/cf194/kingmaker-10th-anniversary.html#item-updates And there’s no easy way to say it, but we’re pushing back the drop date for what I hope will be the very last time, to April 2022. WTF?!?!?, you might ask, and it’s a reasonable question. The rea...

Haha, 30. April 2021. Seemed so far in the future. I remember reading a Shadowrun novel as a kid where the protagonist turned into a troll.

Oh well, at least the new Raspberry 400's look like 80ies cyberdecks, even if only in pink.

I tried two variants. First one is that counterspell always requires a DC check, the other one is make it an opposed check between the casters. Both seem to work reasonably well.

Do you have a few examples for that?

I like this part from sensate gnome:

You gain a special sense: imprecise scent with a range of 30 feet. This means you can use your sense of smell to determine the exact location of a creature.

I think I'm in the minority that liked Deadfire much better than Divinity OS 2. For me. the story of DOS2 and the characters never really caught my interest as they did in PoE2. IMHO The combat systems (both turn-based and RtwP) for Deadfire and turn-based for DOS2 are both OK, not great, but I feel...

If D&D had been healthy and strong from 2000 to today, I'm probably still just a designer or maybe a team lead. This is 100% true. There were a lot of people between him and the big chair. If there hadn't been mass firings that went all the way to the top of the D&D division every year of 4...

d10 dicepools and weapon TNs - what's the den's opinion about this?

Sure, if you have a party that attacks everything and everyone they meet on sight, players will be thoroughly fucked. But if you have clever players who know their characters adventure in a dangerous world, and carefully explore and take every advantage they can, the adventure is great. It's beauti...

The free RPG day adventure 'Better than any Man' is one of the best adventures I've ever ran, and I really like the LotFP suggested approach of placing campaigns in a magical, twisted version of the real world in history (usually Europe, but there's also an adventure set in Nigeria, ...). A conflic...

Let's be honest, this is their attempt to disguise that they no longer have a D&D team or any desire to make D&D. True, but it's good for DMs, and allows the people who wrote this stuff for blogs and forums to publish it with some nice D&D Art and WotC Trademarked Content. Good for WotC...

Lamentations of the Flame Princess...what it is?

While the size and scope of the new game make a full public playtest infeasible, we'll be starting to bring in key community members to check it out in the next few months The fun thing is it doesn't even make sense if you interpret it in a friendly way.

Mechanics were pretty solid, I really dug the all abilities matter, and each class had distinctive specials. Some classes were stronger then others, but they fixed the worst parts with patches. Well, not really. Ciphers still rule the day. But while not fixed, it's certainly much improved. But some...

Wow, amazing. Thanks!
