WotC wants the corporate speak to placate everyone into forgetting what they’re aiming for. Don’t let the outrage die.

UPDATE: These have been confirmed to be fake. Apologies for putting out fake information, that was not my intention. I’m not deleting this because a) it was my mistake and I don’t want to sweep my mistakes under the rug, and b) I want people to know it’s fake.

Kobold Press Announces New Core Fantasy Game As Dungeons & Dragons moves toward the 50th anniversary of the game, foundational changes are a

Kobold Press, one of the largest DnD creators, is creating their own system due to the recently announced changes to the Open Gaming License (OGL 1.1). Above is the video announcement on Twitter. Here's the blurb from the website:

As Dungeons & Dragons moves toward the 50th anniversary of the game, foundational changes are afoot in the tabletop roleplaying game arena. While we wait to see exactly what shape the Open Gaming License might take in this new era, Kobold Press is also moving forward with some clear-eyed work on work on a new Core Fantasy tabletop ruleset: available, open, and subscription-free for those who love it: Code Name — Project Black Flag. To receive future announcements and to register to playtest this ruleset, please sign up using this form.

When the new Open Gaming License and an updated System Reference Document are made public, Kobold Press will review the terms and consider whether they fit the needs of our audience and our business goals.

The kobolds are looking forward to the continued evolution of tabletop gaming, and we aim to play our part in making the game better. Rest assured Kobold Press intends to maintain a strong presence in the tabletop RPG community.

The form to sign up that is mentioned above is located here: https://koboldpress.com/kobold-press-announces-new-core-fantasy-experiment/

This could easily move the needle on how WoTC goes forward with this plan, but no matter what I think they've lost a lot of trust with the community.

I just spent 20 minutes trying (and thankfully succeeding) to cancel my dnd beyond subscription. I should not have to have gone onto Google play to unsubscribe, I should have been able to do it on the app. It just kept sending me in circles.

Plus, I couldn't (and still can't) access my other players character sheets on dnd beyond. As a dm, this is a huge problem and was my final straw.

Here's the link to the guide that I used to figure out how to cancel. Peace.

Do you want to cancel your D&D Beyond subscribption, membership or delete account? Follow these instructions to stop recurring payments and/

I'm still registered as subscribed until the 28th though, so that's a fun benefit.

PJO Greek Demigod Homebrew

So I did this fun little thing and made a DND Percy Jackson Greek Demigod race expansion!

I love the Percy Jackson universe and everything that came after and decided I had to find a way to incorporate it into my games!

This can also be altered only slightly and perfect for Pathfinder! I include how to do so at the bottom of the guide.

Over the summer, I made a TikTok giving an overview of a quick-build for demigods and included lots of recommendations on subclasses (and trust me I dug for these let me tell you) that fit almost all of the godly parents on this list. You can find that here

Additionally, I know much is changing in the DND world and TTRPG in general right now, so I did include this message in the guide:

This expansion has the unfortunate timing of releasing at the same time as the changed OGL 1.1 announcement in January 2023 but this was already created ahead of time and I wanted to make sure and release it before I returned to uni for another semester. I do not and cannot profit off of this guide as it is essentially fanfiction for the Riordanverse, however, neither does Wizards of the Coast (not that they would unless somehow I made like one million dollars off of this which would not happen). So I hope you will thoroughly enjoy this guide.

This homebrew is quite literally a homebrew, made by a fan for fans. And I truly hope you enjoy it :) And again, as this is a homebrew, feel free to adjust it to fit your game, whether that's something in DND or Pathfinder or even a Star Wars realm or something along those lines. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, whatever is to come.

Go forth, enjoy the homebrew, and get ready for the Percy Jackson TV show and Percy's quests to get letters of recommendation poor Percy like come on he deserves some rest

Enjoy it here! And please share updates with what you and your crew gets up to!

If you play D&D I recommend watching this video about the OGL

Hasbro/WotC made a lot of promises after the OGL debacle and it looks like they're counting on us all to forget so they can get away with not doing that. It's important that we hold them accountable, cause this stuff is important stuff.

In light of Wizards preparing to ice the OGL and threaten content creators, here is an update.

Before, my whole plan was to make compendiums of content and set them up on Gumroad while posting batches of free stuff everyone can enjoy, but it is obvious that now won't be a good idea to do so. Players and DMs alike are being screwed over due to corporate greed so it would be selfish to paywall stuff for a system that is suffering from a company actively sabotaging Third-Party content creators. I am going to post links to my Google Docs that contain everything I have brewed up thus far. Player Races, Weapons, Spells, Subclasses, Feats, all of it. In time, I'll try to convert everything I can to Pathfinder 2e's ruleset since it's a system I'm keen on trying out for myself later. Remember that some of this stuff is pending feedback and since the system I made them for is kind of in the process of going belly-up, I may not be there to update them as often. Subclasses, Feats & Variant Rules for Core classes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JTDrTOOGujWTzCUIQa9CuTq5KipX4UhPijHY_FiCzVQ/edit?usp=sharing Spells: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pq1Mg5Db6zpfb_sUB47iv-T1TcA4_AilUudBnCL4gAY/edit

Weapons: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qsDYuJj4_1iJdqeVv4FQ6Oiw08B1hNiN-d16K55NTiY/edit#heading=h.fu5v92xom6s3 Player Races + a snippet of homebrew I made for Pathfinder a while back: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19FCHn9dJsvjQmNPzdila2_0AtxXzYwlR_63Ggs-ghdc/edit#heading=h.815debkc0eu4 I reckon I'll get right to making stuff for Pathfinder 2e content as soon as I get enough experience with the game. It's a good alternative to 5e since the system suffers from being too streamlined and simplistic at times. It was a nice run for a while but its only been good as an entry point into TTRPGS, not as something to stay on for a while.

Path of the Agitator Barbarian! This barbarians indignant rage inspires others to action using offensive teamwork! This was made as my personal celebration of our successful protest against the removal of the OGL. I’m used to making complex subclasses so I tried to make a simpler class, let me know if you have any feedback, I’d really appreciate it!
