    What is the BrOSR?

    Jeffro - What is the #BrOSR? The #BrOSR is real D&D. It is AD&D played as intended. It is successful fantasy campaigns that just won’t quit. It is a fundamentally different type of play that is distinct from the conventional approaches to roleplaying that have dominated hobby gaming over the past forty years

    Ability Checks in D&D Go Back to the Player's Handbook in 1977 - What!?!

    AD&D PHB (1977, p. 76): Any creature at the edge (1’) of such a pit uses its dexterity score as a saving throw to avoid falling into the hole, with a score equal to or less than the dexterity meaning that a fall was avoided.

    Project Sigil - A Natural Extension of Baldur's Gate 3 AND a VTT for ALL RPG Rulesets? What!?!

    WotC's new VTT, Codename: Project Sigil, sure looks pretty. I'm not surprised that WotC firmly has the Baldu's Gate 3 Community solidly in their sights, but I was surprised to find them pitch Project Sigil for use with OTHER (unnamed) RPGs. Project Sigil begins around 12:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3RqehN6hS0 Looking to support The Tavern? Use our affiliate links and help yourself to some good stuff while helping The Tavern!

    D&D Beyond Update 2024 Shift: WotC Listens, Adjusts Plans

    Members of the DnD Beyond community, and 2014 5e community, in particular, were heard by the powers that be at WotC. Late on a Sunday Nignt WotC announced a course change, and it is huge: "Players who only have access to the 2014 Player’s Handbook will maintain their character options, spells, and magical items in their character sheets. Players with access to the 2024 and 2014 digital Player’s Handbooks can select from both sources when creating new characters. Players will not need to rely on Homebrew to use their 2014 player options, including spells and magic items, as recommended in previous changelogs." https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1806-2024-d-d-beyond-ruleset-changelog-update?utm_campaign=DDB-PHB-2024-&utm_source=FACEBOOK&utm_medium=social&utm_content=14476792382 Looking to support The Tavern?

    Why Designing a Convention Adventure Differs From Designing a Home Adventure or One for Publication

    I run games at various conventions, and writing an adventure for convention play is greatly different than for your home campaign or for publishing.

    Monetization of Project Sigil & the Future of the Digital D&D Brand

    I found an excellent article at Rascal.news that offered some insights into WotC's new VTT, codename Project Sigil. Most of the article is behind a paywall, but I think it was well worth the buck I paid ;) Follow on X @tenkar https://www.rascal.news/d-d-cant-properly-market-project-sigils-not-quite-video-game-features/ https://tenkars-tavern.games/StarTrek Looking to support The Tavern?
