Steve Johnson7 years ago2 years ago01 mins

I’ve mentioned a few times in the past year that it’s now been 20 years since we released the first edition of QAGS. Or at least since we printed it. “Released” is probably overstating the book’s availability, given that it was only available at cons we went to, at the store where I worked, and…

D&D 5E Review Part 17: Final Overview

Steve Johnson7 years ago2 years ago020 mins

Now that I’ve picked through the D&D 5E rules in way too much detail, it’s time for a general look at the good, the bad, and the Drow Rangers who dual-wield scimitars. There are a lot of possible ways to break it all down, but I’m going to go with three categories: Rules (Do they…
