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”

3 Reasons Why Spellcasters Are Not Overpowered
I’ve heard this refrain over and over again my entire gaming career, ” Spellcasters are overpowered. Their power needs to be nerfed.” While I do understand that a spellcaster’s power can overshadow the martial characters with a single spell, once that single spell is used, they probably do not have much left. This is doublyContinue reading “3 Reasons Why Spellcasters Are Not Overpowered”
One DnD: My Initial Thoughts
If you haven’t seen it yet, Wizards of the Coast announced the playtest of their new edition, which they’re calling One D&D.

3 Rules for Running Easier Adventures
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.

3 Rules for Incorporating Character Backstories
The nice things about the long adventure books of D&D or Pathfinder Adventure Paths is that they make the brunt of the work of creating a long campaign off the GMs shoulders. You have a book in front of you; just do what it says comes next. The down side: the player characters are interchangeable.Continue reading “3 Rules for Incorporating Character Backstories”
