As one who has seen many edition changes and been a veteran of a few edition wars, I have seen much, argued with many, and witnessed the result of all that effort. So in an effort to have a much smoother transition this time around, I have three things that everyone should keep in mindContinue reading “3 Things to Remember During the One D&D Playtest”

One DnD: What Does Compatible Mean?
Lately, we’ve been talking about One D&D and analyzing both what is inside and what it means for the whole of the gaming community. Previously, I shared my first impressions, discussed the races, and talked about why I believe the OGL will be going away after the new edition launches. Today we’re talking about OneContinue reading “One DnD: What Does Compatible Mean?”
5e: Baby Space Whale
So I’m enjoying the new campaign setting. I want to jam some spells sometime. I love these old campaign settings. They do not get nearly enough love. I’m looking forward to scaping the planes next year as well. But I digress. So I created a baby space whale. I mean why have the adult spaceContinue reading “5e: Baby Space Whale”
One DnD: OGL Going Away in 6e
Last week, I posted my initial reaction to the One D&D Announcement. In it, I said that I believe that the OGL is going away. I’ve gotten a few questions on why I believe that to be the case.

I recently ran into a forum post on the Pathfinder 2e boards asking Paizo to alter their adventure design. Reading it, I remembered similar complaints about Pathfinder 1e and a lesser extent D&D 5e. I don’t believe Paizo or anyone else is going to alter the way they create adventures because the product should beContinue reading “3 Rules for Running Easier Adventures”
PF1/PF2: Did You Convert?
We created our first Pathfinder 2e product recently and are wondering about our fans. Do you still play Pathfinder 1e or have you switched to 2e or some other game. Vote in our poll, and tell us how you game.
Halloween Skill Challenge
I fully believe that every game system has some idea worth stealing. From D&D 4e, it is the idea of a skill challenge, making multiple skill checks towards a larger goal. However I feel the idea needs refined some and I am going to talk about that here, using my home Pathfinder 2e game asContinue reading “Halloween Skill Challenge”
