What Your Undead Army Says About You

My Pathfinder 2e group is playing Kingmaker right now and have decided that their first decree is that all funerals end in cremation. This way they don’t have any problems with the undead. Ignoring the prospect of ghosts, banshees and others incorporeals, it got me thinking about about what an undead army says about aContinue reading “What Your Undead Army Says About You”

5e Creative Commons: It’s a Trap!

I’ve heard enough people say something to the effect of, “If you’re so concerned about the OGL, just use Creative Commons.” My answer has steadfastly been, “No, I’m not going to publish with it.” I’m frequently met with confusion by that. So I’m going to explain some. Why The OGL Was Good First some background.Continue reading “5e Creative Commons: It’s a Trap!”

Moving Forward

My team and I have had a long, hard discussion over the weekend and in the end, we all agreed on one difficult truth: we do not trust that Wizards of the Coast will stay true to their word or won’t try to somehow undermine the OGL at some point in the future. That inContinue reading “Moving Forward”

One D&D: Decoupling Races from Abilities

In the first One D&D playtest doc, races possessed no ability score bonuses or penalties. At the end of the day, I like it and hate it for the exact same reason. But before I begin, let me just say again that the term “race” needs to go away. It is an imprecise term thatContinue reading “One D&D: Decoupling Races from Abilities”

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. So instead of repeating them over and over again, I’m sharing them here. But first, someContinue reading “One DnD: OGL Going Away in 6e”

One D&D: Talking Races

I talked a bit last week about my Initial Reaction to One D&D. Today, I’d like to start talking about the specifics. But before I do that, I would like to address the reaction to the name “One D&D.” I seriously doubt that this will be the final name for the new edition. In fact,Continue reading “One D&D: Talking Races”
