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”

So I asked my favorite artist to do a few drawings, and thatContinue reading “Starfinder: Aliens In Spaaaaaaace”

Having said that, let’s dig into Advanced Androids. The Book of Heroic Races: Advanced Androids is a sharpContinue reading “[Pathfinder] What Exactly is an Android?”
