This email landed in my inbox and I thought this project looks awesome. If you’re into Norse inspired fantasy, this might be worth checking out. They are promising a setting, player options, a dozen adventures, VTT support, and more for D&D 2024 and Tales of the Valiant. Here’s the official info… From the storm-forged halls of Kobold Press comes Northlands—a mythic Norse-inspired campaign setting and adventure path for Dungeons & Dragons 2024 and Tales of the Valiant.

UA 2025: The Psion Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 19:48:31 +0000

Not even the Ranger has had as many UA releases thrown at it as the Psion (née Mystic). Searching through the dusty, moldering archives of this very website, I see that I last wrote a UA breakdown about psionics in 2020, but it was already in good company. I was genuinely surprised to see a new attempt, because I honestly thought the Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, Psi Knight Fighter, and Soulknife Rogue were WotC’s last word on the topic. Psion Class […]

UA 2025: Horror Subclasses Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Mon, 19 May 2025 03:26:13 +0000

I haven’t written an UA breakdown in a hot minute—the last one was before the three core books of 2024-25 dropped!—but this drop sucked me back in. Part of this is to find out where the reading audience is these days. I’m sad to see that they’ve dropped bylines for UA articles; I liked knowing whose ideas I was reading. Also, the very short turnaround on this feedback window is a travesty. I’m sure they have reasons, but since the […]

Dungeon Master’s Guide 2024: Some Highs and Lows

Brandes Stoddard — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 20:50:26 +0000

As with the Player’s Handbook, there’s an enormous amount of absorbing to do of this text, so today I’m giving you some favorite and least-favorite changes or new ideas offered in the new DMG. This book is immense and picking is going to be a challenge. At its core, this book is for new DMs. I’m not one of those and it’s been thirty years since I was. But until and unless they plan to release a DMG for people […]

Player’s Handbook 2024: Some Highs and Lows

Brandes Stoddard — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 15:50:07 +0000

You’ve probably seen an enormous amount of coverage of the new Player’s Handbook all across your Usenets and your BBSes, but this is surely the first one coming to you live and uncensored from your very favorite website.

I’ll do more […]
