This Sunday, 9pm Eastern time, its Ep4 of "The RPGPundit Encounter"!
This time I'll be interviewing The Evil DM, a long-time blogger, youtuber and podcaster in the industry. We'll be talking about the events of the day and answering your questions! Don't miss it!
#dnd #ttrpg #osr #dnd5e
Of the various websites and social media apps that people use to talk about D&D, I make my pitch for what I think is the best one.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
Some recent reports claim the 2024 D&D PHB has sold more than the 5e PHB. Others are claiming the book has barely sold! But hardly anyone noticed how gaming media got its facts wrong. I explain it here. #dnd5e #OneDnD
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
5e D&D is now over. I examine whether D&D was a success or failure, from a business perspective, a design goals perspective, and in terms of its long-term impact on the hobby.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
Gencon fires one of its most Woke areas, while Hasbro is going more open on AI.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
On the recent controversy about Braunsteins, an early influence on D&D.
#dnd #ttrpg #OSR
Want to make your adventurer's treasure, and magic items, more medieval authentic? Here's how!
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
Stupid dungeons are not "mythic", though they can have their place, just like "naturalist" dungeons; but in this video I talk about what real Mythic dungeons would look like.
#dnd #osr #ttrpg
I review Wretched Bastards, a game by the Red Room, which is based not on Conan, but on those B-grade Conan knockoffs of pulp fantasy.
#ttrpg #dnd #OSR
The only thing I like more than being proven right is being proven right almost immediately. The latest from Hasbro shows they're done with books. #wotc
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
Not all #OSR rulesets are just "B/x clones". My own OSR rules in Lion & Dragon / Baptism of Fire have very specific & radical differences.
Also, is Zak S making a comeback?
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
Every race in nu-D&D is just a human and cosplay. "Equity"is to blame, as well as the idea that "humans represent white people", but it's also about the destruction of the heroic ideals.

The latest quarterly report from Hasbro makes it very clear why WotC will be going all or nothing on the VTT, and there's really no going back to focusing on regular paper products.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr #wotc #dnd5e
Talking about the brand new CEO of Wizards, and whether he'll be any better than what came before. Also, I talk about how to make your setting's economy more medieval authentic, as I continue to give design notes on Baptism of Fire!
#dnd #ttrpg #OSR #wotc
Kyle Brink couldn't leave the D&D hobby fast enough! Plus, I take a look at the various new magical techniques included in the Baptism of Fire RPG!
#dnd #ttrpg #osr #onednd
There are more (imaginary) women of color in the D&D PHB than ever before. But it has nothing to do with real women of color.
The idea that #dnd is for "Everyone" is a lie. The truth is that actually, D&D is for ANYONE, and that's very different.
#ttrpg #OSR
Check out my rundown on magic and miracles in Baptism of Fire!
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
The latest news about the new #Onednd Players Handbook makes it clear that it will be full of bloated rules additions that will only ruin the premise of #dnd5e game design.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
In my second design notes video about Baptism of Fire, I talk about character classes, and how to craft them to provide Niche Protection.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
People continue to claim that the "OSR is dying" (or dead). But do the stats actually support that? In this video, you get the hard data!
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
The first in my series of design notes on Baptism of Fire. In this video I talk about the premise of medieval authentic gaming, and the character creation process!
#osr #ttrpg #dnd
Hiring Mike Mearls shows that a certain larger company has ambitions that require someone who actually knows something about RPGs, unlike WotC.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
RPGs are supposed to be "make believe", NOT "Story", and make-believe is much more powerful.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
Some people say that the Old School Revival has already done everything it needed to do. That could be true.
But it's also true that the Old School Renaissance is more important, and more successful than ever, as the biggest indie design movement of all time.
#ttrpg #dnd #OSR
Tonight! 9pm Eastern, I'll be LIVE on youtube talking about Baptism of Fire, and also about another D&D 50th Anniversary book that seems to be about crapping all over D&D.

WotC (and Wizkids) are full of people for whom the word "truth" means something totally different from what that word means to normal people.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
Baptism of Fire has been a HUGE success. But of course people who hate me are desperately trying to find excuses to put it down...
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
The 1st quarter numbers are out for Hasbro, and there seems to be various interpretations going on about the numbers. Why do some people think the numbers are 'good', and others 'bad'? Here's my take!
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
There's different ways DMs can make combat interesting, or boring, for different groups of players.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
The new Wretched New Flesh is massive with many great additions. Also, it's clearly the Red Room's favorite creation. #dnd #ttpg #osr
A "Tomb Raider" #ttrpg has been announced, and it is going to be total garbage.
#dnd #OSR
The way some games "feel" more like the D&D experience isn't about the superficial influences, but about the much deeper roots.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
I show you how simple or complex random generators can help you create new (and weird) character races for your or
So may be the worst major design of the year, because no one knows what it was for.
I review pulphummock 's "Gods of the Forbidden North vol.1", an epic campaign setting & adventure. It says it can be run as both Sandbox and Adventure Path, and in my review I look at how accurate that claim really is.
The woke crowd are deluded about D&D, but some hardcore grognards have delusions of their own; and not being able to see reality makes you less useful.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
In my latest video, I show you how to create a complete / adventure scenario from scratch, in well under 10 minutes!
WotC just can't help it; even in their Infomercial for their 50th Anniversary 'memberberries Merch, they have to ATTACK early D&D and its creators.
A review of the 2nd Edition of Wretched Space, part of their Spaghettiverse gaming universe. Check it out (and for more information see my review of the first edition).
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
You won't be able to guess who the official D&D Youtube channel decided to say "thank you" to for D&D. Though you probably will be able to guess which names they completely erased from the official history...

Hasbro's new numbers are in, and they are not good. And neither is their timetable for the 50th anniversary of D&D.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr #onednd #wotc
I was right, WotC is apparently ending its regular printing of dead-tree books.
#dnd #ttrpg #osr
Is WotC SELLING D&D? An article that came out this morning has many people suggesting that, but is it accurate?
Here's everything you really need to know about :
People wanted my advice for making good settings. In my first video on the subject I go into the main thing a lot of would-be setting designers miss out on.
The most memorable experiences in RPG are never really about combat in and of itself, they're about character investment.

Sunday, 8pm Eastern, it's Inappropriate Characters! Join me,
Venger and Ryan David as we talk about the latest #dnd #ttrpg and #osr news & controversy!
WotC is trying to indoctrinate a whole generation of kids to play D&D wrong, by completely changing the text of "rule 0".
Is the 5e "Golden Age" (if you can call it that) really ending? And if so, who will be better for it?
