7.3.2025 16:42Comment on Thoughts on the Forgotten Realms Subclasses UA by Alexa FontanillaI lost so many hours from my life creating stat blocks in Dungeons & Dragons 3e and Pathfinder by adding levels to existing stat blocks. How many levels do I give the character? What do they have to give up to qualify for this feat or prestige class I want to give them? Did I allocate enough of their NPC
19.2.2025 18:20Contextualizing NPCs in 5e SRD GamesToday, I went to see Captain America: Brave New World. I will admit that I wanted to see it because I don’t want any racist Disney executive to have an excuse to demand that they never let a Black superhero lead a movie again or that they need to change who’s playing Captain America. I don’t want them to use

11.2.2025 21:29Comment on On Changing Times by Why did Jared Rascher stop RPG reviews? An interviewA few years before the pandemic, two people who were part of an online community I participated in, the Misdirected Mark Podcast Network community, started a podcast to talk about what they loved about Jianghu stories. They talked about the liminal space in which the stories take place, the language of combat scenes, and the idea of holding systems of

6.2.2025 06:17Comment on Novels of a Bygone Era: Forgotten Realms Novel Recommendations by Nostalgic CodesmithI was asked on the THAC0 with Advantage Discord if I had any Forgotten Realms novels I would recommend. I realized that while I had recommendations for previous era sourcebooks, I never talked about novels. My top picks, which may include books that include elements that my brain has buried too deep to consider, would be this: Songs & Swords
5.2.2025 15:00Novels of a Bygone Era: Forgotten Realms Novel RecommendationsYou may wonder what this is if you read the previous blog post. This is actually the kind of content I want to be able to post. I want to have an opinion, be moved to write about it, and post it. The formalized process and the schedule are the things that work against me, but I’m not going to
3.2.2025 17:58Thoughts on the Forgotten Realms Subclasses UAI’ve been doing RPG reviews for a while now. I’ve done them informally going back to D&D 3.5, where I would talk about what was in various D&D books, how that material could be used, and how widely it could be used. I started doing more formal reviews on my blog years later, and since 2017, I’ve been doing reviews

1.2.2025 19:48Comment on Tales of the Valiant, Roll20, and Shard Tabletop by Alphastream :verified:You may or may not have heard that Roll20 had determined that they aren’t going to develop a character sheet for Tales of the Valiant. This may not seem like a big deal, but that means they aren’t going to support Tales of the Valiant in their character builder, and they aren’t going to create the new stat blocks to
1.2.2025 14:51Tales of the Valiant, Roll20, and Shard TabletopWith some of the discussion on monster types and what sapient beings can and cannot understand the thought processes of other creatures, I am starting to feel like creature type is the new alignment and that some of the issues with older D&D content haven’t been addressed so much as shifted to another part of the game’s narrative. This is
31.1.2025 18:32Some Kind of Monster (Type)As the review gnome at Gnome Stew, sometimes I get to look over @Ang's shoulder and find press releases I want to talk about, and today, that's the pitch for Love for the Love Gods, coming to Backerkit in February.
28.1.2025 15:00Coming to Crowdfunding – Love for the Love GodsThis isn’t very revolutionary because I’ve already taken a look at the Witch, but I wanted to touch base on the updates because I’m really interested in this project. If my thoughts aligned with some of the revisions, I might even start to take my ability to analyze these things more seriously again.
