Hey all, I just realized I don’t see any posts about this here. Matt Colville, a well-known voice in the online TTRPG/DnD space, and his small game company MCDM, have begun and have already reached their crowdfunding goals for designing a new RPG, currently with the placeholder name of “MCDM RPG”....

Unconquered is a commercial book with a Christian name that purports Rose as its auteur. None of the passages above were cited, but instead reworked over time to obscure their real source. If one did not know better, they would be under the impression that this was Rose’s own work. This is both deeply dishonest and uncreative.
Hey there everyone, I am back with v1.1 of my Latex Template for making D&D Item Cards. I received one major point of feedback from multiple people in the fediverse: make an option for fixing the card dimensions for easier printing and distribution/storage at the table. So that is exactly what I did!...
After starting some earnest homebrewing efforts for magic items in my campaign, I was getting frustrated with the limited options for item cards I could give to my players. I am not great with illustrator/photoshop, have terrible handwriting, didn't particularly like the form-fillable cards I found online, and the...

Have you gotten with Astarion or maybe you were blown up by Gale for the hundredth time? Are your adventures as wild as you had hoped…have you even gotten out of character creation!? Well if you’re one of the legendary few who have, why don’t you take a step into the real world of D&D so you can go back into an imaginary...
Hey guys, I just released my own TTRPG. Its a fun rules-light system, that uses only a standard deck of cards…and nothing else. Check out the store page for more information. Enjoy a 25% discount in celebration of the release!
So my group is playing Warhammer Fantasy (2e?) and I am creating an Estalian Diestro ( think Inigo Montoya). I was looking at the foil or rapier weapon and it sparked me thinking: what was the most deadly fencing weapon historically? The epee, small sword, saber, estoc, rapier, or something else? Most search results focus on...
This is a blog post I wrote on the many elements and mechanics of 13th Age you can port over to your favorite d20 games–or if you are feeling adventurous, reasons to try out a few games of 13th Age! I’ve enjoyed the system in my time with it and just wanted to share some of the cool ideas :)
my group started a new sandbox campaign a while ago and i wasnt in the mood to create a thought out village/town for the players to start in, so i just put together 4 houses, put 2 fighting families in 2 of them, gave one to a hermit/thief and left one haunted as a base for the players. so far ist my favourite starting...
