Tabletop RPG

We've been hearing a lot about what's coming for Dungeons and Dragons, and though we can't say exactly what's on the horizon for the game, we can make some informed guesses.

There are a lot of interesting new D&D races in the latest Unearthed Arcana playtest content from Wizards of the Coast, named Travelers of the Multiverse — and there's definitely an extraplanar theme here.

We're getting a new edition of Dungeons and Dragons in 2024, with the release of new core rulebooks that will remain compatible with current 5e books.

During this weekend's D&D Celebration, the festivities ended with a Future of D&D panel -- a panel hosted by Elle Osili-Wood, who spoke to Chris Perkins, Liz Schuh, Ray Winninger, and Jeremy Crawford about what you'd expect in a Future of D&D panel: the distant past of the Precambrian period and how it set the stage for the development of our modern ecosystem.

People use the word 'realism' or 'realistic' a lot in gaming, and it's something to consider, but for an aspiring Tabletop RPG game master it's toxic to concern yourself too much with it.

Seriously?

I haven' t quite finished Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, the new CRPG from Owlcat Games adapting the Adventure Path from Paizo's Pathfinder tabletop RPG.

This weekend, the Tavern Watch podcast — our brand new show focusing on tabletop RPGs — will be a special one because we're going to be talking to Brendan Conway, Lead Designer for the upcoming Avatar Legends tabletop RPG. You know, the game that just became most successful RPG Kickstarter pledge drive ever, raising over $7 million to build the Avatar tabletop game we've always wanted to play.

Rules are almost a necessity for games, but especially for role playing games, where you're essentially playing make believe but you want to avoid the I shot you!

It can be hard to keep a TTRPG campaign rolling along.
