I guess that's true. The OAR treatment is likely better quality paper, editing, art, with expanded content (including - I believe - the very rare Wraith Overlord material). My original CSIO is basically newsprint quality paper. I don't dare use it at the table. Also, to be fair, I also got my...

From the JG livestream, they mentioned $200+. (Boxed set with maps, etc.)

These are large cities with a lot of detail that could be ported easily to DCC. (I've run adventures in all of them.) Bard's Gate https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/210836/bard-s-gate-swords-and-wizardry Castle Zagyg...

I've backed two recent OAR Kickstarters (Dark Tower and Caverns of Thracia) because of its affiliation with Jenell Jaquays and under the assumption that JG wouldn't be profiting from them. (Not to mention, they're great products.) Of the other OAR titles, I think I don't have two of them (Castle...

I was about to come in here and criticize the sensational headline. Then I read Goodman's statement: "... my personal opinion is I like to build bridges rather than walls. I think there's been a lot of uh experiences in the last couple years in America of people building walls amongst each...

Yay. I can finally read 5.24. :)

I'm in a strange position when I'm realizing that my primary hobby for the past 20 years maybe hasn't been as enjoyable as I like to think. Of course, I can look back and enjoy a few moments and the friends I met along the way; however, it isn't comparable to the stress and frustration I've had...

So I decided to pivot the group to a dungeon adventure (the Lost City from Goodman's OAR series, if you're curious). There's a degree of roleplaying and faction play to get the more story-interested players, but plenty of traps, puzzles, and combats for the other two. I'm going to save my...

One of the players ran a session of Alice is Missing several months ago. It was mostly GMed by using the app, but it was a nice experience. No one else is interested.

TLG has 18 books in development across 4 crowdfunding campaigns (Codex Infernum, Codex Exaltum, Adventurers Armory, Monstrous Armory, War Mounts, Living Fantasy, Essential Facts and Things, The Canting Crew, Weyland Smith Catalog, Pantheons, Extraordinary Book of Names, Guide to Adventure...

My group is a difficult situation. First, one of my players is my wife. She loves gaming, and basically won't find another group without me because of social anxiety. Second, another player is my next door neighbor. He's a fine enough guy to play with. Third, the two remaining players are...

I started my most recent campaign full of excitement about a month ago. I picked a new campaign setting (Eberron). I left confusing new systems to get back to something more familiar, but with new options (Level Up - A5e). I did research and created interesting NPCs. I designed an...

The "official, plain" character sheet: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f30140933f50e61c794e1a3/t/6174371ed1923915805f3930/1635006238699/Level_Up_CharSheet_BW.pdf

Kyle Brink was the last I heard. https://www.enworld.org/threads/has-kyle-brink-left-wotc.705240/

Maybe. They've been hesitant to try OSR games and were really wanting something with tactical play and a lot of options. I talked them back from Pathfinder 2 to play A5E as a compromise.
