This is a really, really great interview by Shawn and Teos, which includes Brian talking about why genAI is not part of DDB’s roadmap, and why paper-and-pen gameplay remains essential.

Playing 4E D&D again, it really saddens me that the marketing was such a wedge. I know it was because I hated 4E as a concept before I played it and had to be won over to it. It does so much so well. It really tried to fix all the issues 3E had.

While I had to run, I did spend some time going over the latest Unearthed Arcana that released today, Mystic Subclasses. Just to clear the confusion, it is mystic, as in mystical, as in magical - not subclasses for the mystic/psionics. youtube.com/live/k_G_RmO... #dnd #dnd5e #nerdimmersion

It’s arrived! I’ve never played 13th Age, but I’ve heard so many great things I had to back it & hello gorgeous. I’m a sucker for a good GM screen, & now I might run it for my group or Patreon. Between Black Company, 13th Age, & my Conan-without-Conan playtest… have I become a fantasy fan? 👀🐉

Hey! I did all the maps for this beauty! 👁️👅👁️

I really really love the exciting monsters in draw steel. Ogres that can surprise a grabbed character by bowling them into other party members? Or jump down with a shockwave? Pitchfork catapult? Yes, please.

Here's an interesting blog post about RPGs other the D&D, what they do, and how different systems support and demand different sorts of play. Thirty years ago, this is what I wanted to see one day: lots of story-oriented RPGs on the shelves. sagaofthejasonite.wordpress.com/2025/07/24/b...

Lindwurm Slender, long bodied, with spindly limbs, these wild and feral dragons inhabit icy regions and hunt in groups for breaching whales, seals, or incautious fisherman. Their slim profiles and constant coiling and shifting disguise how large and strong their bodies can be. Cunning as well,…

Did everyone catch the 13th Age Starter Set announcement in the Coming Soon section of the latest Page XX? #13thAge

A new interview up today with @jonathantweet.bsky.social and @benriggs.bsky.social. It's all about Ars Magica, which I call "the most innovative RPG you've never heard of." (The recent almost-million dollar kickstarter might disagree with the latter.)

Had a blast last night playing The Road to Broadhurst adventure for DRAW STEEL by @hellomcdm.bsky.social. @d20play.bsky.social runs a fast, beginner-friendly game, and you should jump into one if you're interested in learning the system. It's just as tactical, heroic, and cinematic as advertised!

DeMonday comes a day early! Grab it on @drivethrurpg.com

Happy 25th Birthday to D&D 3E! On August 10th, 2000, the PHB was released, as were character sheets and the Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game boxed set. The DMG was released in September.

City of Arches, a great setting and adventure book from @slyflourish.com, dropped on @shardtabletop.bsky.social today. #ttrpg marketplace.shardtabletop.com/m/product?id...

James is brilliant, and I’m so incredibly proud of the entire team over at MCDM for their release of Draw Steel. A huge achievement and I can’t wait to get it to the table!!

Proud to be the 188th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for TLG The Factory! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit. It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

FRPG GM Tip: When it comes to worldbuilding and adventure backstory, think “menu,” not “meal.” Players don't need a whole history prepped, cooked, and served up. They need you to give them a sense of what tastes the setup has to offer, then to let them order the specific entree they want to sample.

FRPG Player Tip: Playing a straightforward hero is a good idea when you’re new to a game. But even complicated characters like spellcasters can be simplified. Focus on one or two things you want to do with the character, even if that means ignoring other options while you get to know those options.

"No rest for these old bones! There’s always another grave to dig and another secret to unearth here in Myriad" The characters you can meet in Tales from Myriad are extraordinary and the opportunities for adventure are endless. Have you played yet? #TTRPG #TalesFromMyriad #TabletopGaming

The PDFs of then #13thAge #2e #TTRPG has been released. At first glance, I really like what I see! Really looking forward to the books. I generally avoid #DnD clones, but almost no rule is without exception. I like many ideas of this variant (icons, escalation die, proximity to #4e etc.)
