Café de Nuit

There's some decent stuff for Islands of Terror in 2e, but generally the fluff in 3e is head-and-shoulders above anything else.
But the books are probably hard to find now. Only a handful are on the DMsGuild and some sell for decent money online.

The new update is up: https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/one-dnd/ph-playtest5/owThVp1CESZ1c91y/UA-2023-PH-Playtest5.pdf Like other updates there's good bits and bad bits, and different people will strongly disagree on which is which. I really dislike the changes to warlocks for example, a...

@Jester: I doubt they will get rid of half-elves. There are rules to make them (hybrid human/elf) in the book. I guess they will just add them as an example. HOWEVER : I do dislike how all races are the same, without ability bonuses/penalties. I liked the "Dwarves have more con, less charisma&...

I'm pretty liberal and a social justice focused individual.... But I've joked that the reason past edition were created was: 0e: Previous edition was not extant enough. 1e: Previous edition was not complete enough. 2e: Previous edition was not organized enough. 3e: Previous edition was not consisten...

Kyle Brink, a WotC Executive Producer has been doing interviews, doing damage control: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPDc3DVHwKo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRVkrWvqKTQ He says that the royalties were supposed to discourage big companies moving in (e.g. Meta or Disney) and making monetized con...

If you're curious why D&D and WotC wanted to start "censoring" and having the ability to revoke the OGL, I can explain it in one big image: Those are books I'm currently adding to my library at work. D&D is really, really trying to become an All Ages brand like Marvel and accessib...

Big news today, as they're starting the OGL "playtest" https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1432-st ... l-playtest

With the big twist news that the basic rules elements are now under a Creative Commons license!

$30 bucks a month if I want to share my homebrew? I don't even pay that kind of dough for Netflix, Prime, or Disney Plus for my family. Two of those for about the same I guess. Still, $360 a year for...what exactly? It's rumoured to be $30 for the highest tier. We don't know what the lower tiers wi...

WotC hasn't caved. They will still abolish OGL 1.0 for a far more draconian license. We know very little about the new license, as it doesn't exist yet. Saying it's "draconian" is probably a little early. Ah yes. The vital need to prevent Gary Gygax's "nazi son" from playing D&a...

Basically, WotC rolled over and took out almost everything the fans complained about.

Aaaand the fans are still angry. Because there's no way to make people stop complaining on the internet. There was really nothing WotC could do at this point.

So, by reading, you still retain ownership of your content. WotC gets an unlimited, perpetual and irrevocable right to your IP and you may not designate product identity. Furthermore, WotC retains this right after termination of the agreement, but you are still bound by it's obligations. I'm not su...

That's always how the OGL has worked. You've always been able to take something someone has declared open content and reprint it for free. Early Pathfinder modules regularly featured monsters from Frog God Games' Tome of Horrors or modified by Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary . This is not how the O...

Thanks for the clarification Jester! EDIT: I did want to mention by the way that I've bought all your Ravenloft stuff on DM's Guild and have used it to great effect, so thanks a ton for the campaign help! Thanks! It was written for fans like you and was a huge passion project. What I'm really wonde...
