Tabletop RPG

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.

This weekend, the team is getting together to play a D&D adventure set in Otherweald, fantasy world where we've encountered everything from devious clown gods to zombie dinosaurs.

Here's a little secret -- I don't do a lot of formal planning for running my D&D games.

I've already been really excited for the Avatar Legends TTRPG, because both Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra are among my favorite animated series of the past decades, with Korra one of my favorite characters in animation.
