    I linked to an article on EN World that has links to other sites. There is no store or checking out to be done on EN World itself.

    On a scale of 0 (no clue what they are doing) to 10 (there is a master plan with a hundred steps), how strategic is Critical Role? My guess would be around 3. This is mostly „seems like a cool idea, let’s do it“ without much of a plan.

    It is not expected that everyone has a PHB, but it is expected that you know what your character can do and I am not having to keep reminding you of your abilities. And the last time I let someone use my PHB they tore a page, so that is not going to happen any longer.

    There are lots of places that will print for you (eg https://www.shapeways.com/), but it’s cheaper and easier than ever to print your own right now! You can get a cheapo chinese printer for a hundred bucks, or an excellent Bambu for $250 (https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1-mini) Then you feed your model into something called a Slicer which will let you adjust all those parameters to your heart’s content (Flashprint is beginner friendly, Cura or Orcaslicer are more advanced options, all free) You’ll also need a roll of filament ($13-$20 for one roll, enough to print hundreds of minis) and then you just hit start and see how it goes! If your print fails, nbd, it’s like a fraction of a cent of plastic, just tweak and try again! The material you want to use is called PLA, it’s cheap and easy to work with. Note that all the above prices are in USD, it’s likely more expensive to get shipped to Australia, but a lot of it comes straight from China so you never know. Feel free to message me with any questions or troubleshooting help

    The Ukrainian hospital bundle looks really good. Lots of stuff in there with a bunch of solo RPGs. The bundle is probably worth it for the Cairn and Mausritter stuff alone.

    Most people don’t want the WoD 5E crew back. But if nobody from the original writers are present, and the new “White Wolf” is just brand with no new writers mentioned, then this is purely a marketing douchebag move. Save your hopes and expectations for something that isn’t obviously poisoned well.

    It includes a new beautiful character sheet, Lodestar itself - a quick reference guide, and an updated map of Ironlands.

    I love this idea. Would have been perfect for my current game, though I have enjoyed the flexibility to adjust things the players don’t know yet. That could still work with this approach but you’d have to be intentional about keeping changes within the same scope / size

    I did one of the StartPlaying intro games for Daggerheart and it was a total blast. Even playing with five others who had never played with each other and were all new to the system it was seamless and really fun.

    In one word: politics. More words from here: Domain-level play is an old term for giving RPG characters political power in the form of ”domains” they control, be those guilds, corporations, or part or all of a sovereign nation. Historically, Dungeons and Dragons campaigns would eventually see the characters having enough wealth and influence to purchase a stronghold, which would give them not only a base of operations but also a parcel of land to see over. Once the characters were officially nobles in this way, a whole new area of storylines could open up, involving courtly intrigue as well as broader politics. At a default level this would insert characters onto a bigger political stage, but it was both possible and for some palatable to start changing the course of politics in the world in which the game took place.

    if you’re looking for a higher level, beer and pretzels dungeon for Shadowdark, I’d look no further than Chateau Amongst the Stars.
