Attacking where I think the Vitals should be

Dungeon Fantastic – Thu, 06 March, 11:54 PM

One of the many banes of my GMing life is, "I attack where I think the Vitals should be." Vitals has a lot of upsides for impaling and piercing attacks. A number of PCs in my campaigns - rather a lot of them - have taken Slayer Training for attacks to the vitals. So they have a mere -1 instead of t... read more.

Dungeons & Dragons Fanatics – Thu, 06 March, 11:52 PM

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. While Dungeons & Dragons is best known as a tabletop roleplaying game, it’s also a literary franchise that once spawned hundreds of best-selling D&D novels.

REVIEW: Sun County

GROGNARDIA – Thu, 06 March, 05:24 PM

When RuneQuest burst upon the roleplaying game scene in 1978, it quickly became known for both its percentile-based skill system (which would later become the basis for Chaosium's house system, Basic Role-Playing) and its rich Bronze Age fantasy setting, Glorantha. Glorantha is steeped in mythology,... read more.

What is the Essential Experience of Dungeons & Dragons?

Grumpy Wizard – Thu, 06 March, 04:21 PM

I use the word “experience” a lot in my writing. It’s one of those words I find useful but troublesome. Like the word “fun”, it is vague and full of underlying assumptions. One dictionary definition of experience is “an event or occurrence that leaves an impression on someone.” An experience isn’t m... read more.

Don't worry about it.Let me think of a way to 'prove that'. Hmm. I don't think doctors, or anyone, should make mor... read more.

Ye Olde West: a genre exploration of wild west fantasy storytelling in roleplaying games

Kobold Press – Thu, 06 March, 02:00 PM

A powerful way both players and GMs engage with TTRPGs is by emulating the tones, themes, and ideas of the stories and media they enjoy through their characters and campaigns. Though games such as the Tales of the Valiant roleplaying game or D&D typically live in the genre of high fantasy, this is ... read more.

From the Sorcerer's Skull – Thu, 06 March, 12:00 PM

That's how our Land of Azurth 5e game last Sunday ended up, but it started with a dragon.Or drake, more precisely.

Whether that's a good thing ... read more.

Ship, Captain, Crew

Benign Brown Beast – Thu, 06 March, 05:00 AM

Ship, Captain, Crew is a simple dice game that I thought might make a good minigame. Rules On a player’s turn, they roll five six-sided dice, up to three times. After each throw, the player can “bank” a 6, a 5, or a 4 and only re-roll the remaining dice, but they can only bank them in that order, or... read more.

You probably didn't need me to figure this out, but Isis is the stand-in for ancient Egypt in Dragon Quest III's overworld. It's located in the largest stretch of desert in the game, corresponding to the real-world Sahara, around an isolated oasis. Actually getting into Isis is somewhat of a minor p... read more.
