Dungeons and Dragons Role Playing Games ARE NOT Arcade Games!

UPDATE : According to D&D Beyond via their twitter feed they are NOT working on an AI DM. This is a link to their tweet : https://twitter.com/DnDBeyond/status/1615879308832022528

Fresh on the heels of D&D Beyond wanting to push out an AI Dungeon Master to run your games… and charge you for it… THIS is our thoughts as to why an AI DM is just not a good idea…

OGL 1.1 Thoughts About The Future of Dungeons and Dragons

I’ve been quiet about the Open Gaming License OGL 1.1 rumors, but there is too much about it out there now to ignore. I really hope we are all wrong about Wizards of the Coast’s intent and the negative impact it will have for the future of Dungeons and Dragons…

I also take a perusal though the hardback version of the Dragonlance Companion from Splintervers!

Tyranny of Dragons: How to Master Dragon Masks for Dungeons and Dragons

Today we explore the different Dragon Masks that can be found in Tyranny of Dragons!

Looks like I made a MAJOR oops in the video! Under Dragon Breath, you DO NOT gain a breath weapon of the mask’s color, IF you already have a breath weapon that requires rest to recharge, it gains a recharge of 6. Thank you Ashley Fourie for pointing that out! I’m gonna go slink back into my little hobbit hole now…
