Typical #rpg Optional Superboss -Ancient Superweapon sealed away by the gods -Requires cheesy exploits to survive past the 1st turn -Isn't even the strongest being lorewise but the stats say otherwise -Character design draws upon collective millennia of eschatological myth folklore 1/2

On RPGNet and EN World I reviewed Heroes of Tara, a beautiful historical fantasy setting inspired by Irish history and legends for #dnd #5e! forum.rpg.net/index.php?th...

Over on @rpg.net I finished a review of the Frank & K Tomes, a set of 3.5 homebrew where the baseline are highly optimized spellcasters using game-breaking exploits! #dnd forum.rpg.net/index.php?th...

Elon Musk being the richest man in the world is the best argument against capitalism.

Forgotten Realms fans are going to be eating good in 2026! #dnd #5e

I'm reading Chivalry & Sorcery, a ttrpg that really goes all-in on in-depth rules for medieval simulation. The character creation has 20 steps, and a huge amount of highly-specific occupations. One of them is charcoal merchant, which gave me an idea to try and build a "medieval Hank Hill"

I finished a review for Dungeons of Drakkenheim for #5e #dnd by the @dungeondudes.bsky.social . An excellent dark fantasy sandbox with a touch of cosmic horror and politicking between rival factions, all while exploring a city rent asunder by cosmic horrors! www.enworld.org/threads/dung...

From the new Adventures in #faerun book for #dnd. When death and tyranny reign supreme... When there's no epic-level NPCs to save the day... One rat, in one city... Is all that stands against the tide of darkness spreading across Faerûn!

Tracy Hickman's post on Facebook has me excited. Joe Manganiello (guy in the middle) was working on a #dragonlance tv series, and last year it was thought dead in the water. Eager to see further developments! www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

Imagine an alternate timeline for the #dnd world of #dragonlance. One where the Wizards of High Sorcery stepped in to provide order during the Cataclysm, forging a Magocracy of Ansalon. Necromantic nobility, Storm Barons of the eastern islands, and more await you! forum.rpg.net/index.php?th...

Check out this review for Sands of Doom, a 5th Edition #dnd sandbox adventure path where the PCs travel across the Arabian-Egyptian inspired lands of Kirat, gathering Divine Relics to thwart a risen gnoll warlord! www.enworld.org/threads/lets...

After much time and work, I completed writing this alternate timeline for #dnd #dragonlance! Enter a dark fantasy version of Krynn where Raistlin's war against the gods is causing the world to come undone! Fight moonfallen horrors, crazed cultists, and more! forum.rpg.net/index.php?th...

Have you ever wanted to ride a dragon into battle? How about riding an undead dragon wielding spell-storing runes into battle against cosmic horrors from beyond reality? Check out my review for Itza's Guide to Dragonbonding for #dnd #5e! www.enworld.org/threads/lets...

I recently finished reading Flee, Mortals by MCDM Productions, and I get the hype. From variant CR threat levels and roles for many of the classic humanoid monsters to Retainer/Companion rules for monstrous sidekicks, it's perhaps the best "monster manual" for #dnd #5e I've read.

I was recently inspired to check out classic RPG video games from the 80s and 90s after checking out some of the D&D Gold Box classics. Came across a rather...odd-sounding title. With a name like that, I was surprised to find out it wasn't an eroge! #rpg en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Br...

I finished a review of Battlezoo Ancestries: Dragons by @rollforcombat.bsky.social. I cover both #5e and #pathfinder2e versions. The best rules for dragon PCs I've seen in an RPG! www.enworld.org/threads/lets...

Thousands of fans have flocked to a Thailand zoo to celebrate the first birthday of Moo Deng, the baby pygmy hippo that's become a social media sensation.

Ed Greenwood (creator of the Forgotten Realms) is currently doing a Let's Play of Baldur's Gate 3. Looks like he's playing a githyanki wizard; quite an unorthodox choice! #bg3 #baldursgate3 #dnd www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vRp...

A steampunk that hasn't forgotten the -punk part? Sign me up!

Was talking on a forum about Golarion's metaplot for #pathfinder2e. Between the Worldwound sealing and Cheliax losing territory and ending slavery, seems like demons and devils weakening in power. So where does that leave daemons? Perhaps as a new BBEGroup?

I recently finished Dawnsbury Days, a fun video game utilizing the #pathfinder2e rules. Unlike Solasta or Baldur's Gate 3 you really need to ensure that your entire party synergizes in terms of strategy. Making party members in a vacuum hurts more than in the 5e games if you have weak spots.

Someone made a very robust #bg3 mod that converts the system to #pathfinder2e. Always happy to find another excuse to dive right back into this beautiful game. mod.io/g/baldursgat...

Really excited. I beat DQ1 way back in the day, but never got past the infamous Road to Rhone in 2. This time, I'm going to beat the game for real!

Today I played and finished a rather offbeat game. Concept derives from the unsettling atmosphere of liminal spaces. Perhaps the most relaxing horror game I've played. Downside is that it's not the kind of game to have much replay value. store.steampowered.com/app/2663530/...

Tonight I began another Let's Read of a 3rd party #dnd #5e adventure, Faster Purple Worm! Kill! Kill! A collection of 15 adventures that all end in a TPK by @beadleandgrimms.com www.enworld.org/threads/lets...

A brief article, but covers some concerning contradictory statements on the part of Goodman Games re: their relationship with Judges' Guild. #osr #dccrpg #dnd

I'm self-conscious about my creative work and never think it's good enough, so I haven't promoted my first solo product much. But I guess I might as well. D&D 5e (2014) subclasses and some other stuff. Should be mostly compatible with 2024. It's cheap! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Today I finished reading the #pathfinder 2e Lost Omens World Guide. It was a relatively breezy read at its page count of 130 and was easy enough to navigate. While it doesn't do anything truly new or innovative, the Guide does have something for everyone and the metaplot updates are cool.

Case in point, my headcanon for my Khajiit Swashbuckler pictures her as a stereotypical Chaotic Good headstrong charmer. In hindsight, I feel that saving the DB for a second playthrough would've been best. Generally, I think that 2-33 factions are my sweet spot for questline completion. 2/2

I've been doing a "completionist run" for Oblivion Remaster. While still fun, I have the feeling that doing all the factions feels rather incongruous for a lot of role-play archetypes. The Dark Brotherhood in particular has you act pretty villainous in contrast with the more heroic plotlines. 1/2

As I get more into #pathfinder, I'm particularly interested in Alkenstar and the Mana Wastes for its Fantasy Wild Western feel. With Frontiers of Eberron for #dnd, I'm warming up to this mashup of genres. What other settings and systems do this well?

Earlier this week I began a series of reviews for playable monstrous ancestries for #dnd #pathfinder and #osr rpg systems. Ever wanted to play a Lazylord Bugbear, or a demon using its own fiendish biology for new martial maneuvers? Check out my thread! www.enworld.org/threads/lets...

I recently finished my review of the Silk Road Guide to Seafaring, a #5e #dnd historical fantasy sandbox. Made by the same creators of Adventurer's Guide to the Bible, it's a niche product but with a lot of love poured into its creation. forum.rpg.net/index.php?th...

Bad news for the fanmade Eberron Wiki: it had hundreds of its articles vandalized by a rogue editor using AI. The front page's most recent update labeled "The Wiki Chronicle" goes into details #dnd #eberron eberron.fandom.com/wiki/Eberron...

@sashasienna.bsky.social is preparing a game of Old-School Essentials and writing up a cheat sheet of enemies with little descriptions. Their description of Duegar is "Dwarf Wario" and their description of Drow is "Elf Waluigi". I am furious about how correct this is.

Today I made more homebrew for Beast World, a #furry themed #dnd setting! Today, we have more Roadside Encounters that can happen in the Trade League of Vinyot! Anybody up for Italian-themed merchant republics? www.enworld.org/threads/my-b...

My latest Let's Read is of Xcrawl Classics, a satirical urban fantasy where dungeon-crawling is the world's most popular death sport! #dccrpg #osr www.enworld.org/threads/lets...

It's been some time since I wrote homebrew for Beast World by @heartleafgames.bsky.social, but tonight I wrote up 40 roadside encounters in Kingdom of Allemance. Maybe you'll duel a blackguard of Veronette, or catch the Thieves' Army in a smuggling operation! forum.rpg.net/index.php?th...

In this post, we talk about why the Scarred Lands by @theonyxpath.bsky.social is a very good #dnd fantasy setting for #furry gamers! From lionlike manticora to feudal serpentine asaathi, there's plenty of playable anthros in the world of Scarn! forum.rpg.net/index.php?th...

I just had Session 0 of my #dnd #eberron campaign and my #pathfinder2e campaign this weekend. My PCs are a gnoll ranger war veteran-turned-mercenary and a catfolk swashbuckler eager for ruin-delving. As a former Forever DM, I can't wait to see what it's like on the other side of the DM screen!

With the #dnd Monster Manual coming out next month, I've had monsters on the brain. And what better way to use that energy than reviving my old #eberron worldbuilding thread, Cooking with Gaze Attacks? Flumph, cranium rats, and more! forum.rpg.net/index.php?th... www.enworld.org/threads/eber...

I'm really into #pathfinder2e, and currently reading the Remastered GM Core. I really enjoy the myriad quality of life changes that in D&D and PF 1 were common stumbling blocks. For instance, spell levels are renamed spell ranks, and Perception is now a universal thing rather than a skill tax.

Finished reading Bag of Holding Monsters, a Pokemon-inspired bestiary for #dnd #eberron. Bohmon are creatures from Thelanis formed from national archetypes, and you can "catch" them in an extradimensional item space to gain as summonable allies. Quite nifty. www.dmsguild.com/product/3183...

Another month, another third party #dnd sourcebook to review! Let's check out the Islands of Sina Una! forum.rpg.net/index.php?th...

Beast World by @heartleafgames.bsky.social emphasizes the traveling nature of #dnd campaigns, so I made several d10 tables of Roadside Encounters. 40 scenarios, from local flavor to combat and obstacle encounters! www.enworld.org/threads/my-b...

So I posted quite a bit of Let's Read I reviewed for #dnd and #osr books, but I wanted to give people a taste of things to come in the coming months. I currently have my eyes on the Islands of Sina Una. A third party setting based off of the pre-colonial Philippines. 1/4

If you're looking for your first job in the world of adventuring, this is a great place to check, they have a behest board, a map room, a stock of arms, and places to train!

The current anime I'm watching is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2014 version). At Battle in Egypt for Stardust Crusaders. Even this far in, it still manages to surprise me with the wackiness of its villains.

Been a while since I've worked on this project, but I'm getting back into chronicling #furry friendly #dnd settings. Tonight, we talk about Blue Rose and the rhydan, playable intelligent telepathic animals! www.enworld.org/threads/an-o... forum.rpg.net/index.php?th...
