In this week's episode, we discuss the D&D Movie Honor Among Thieves (because we're very timely with these things), the chapter 7 bankruptcy filing of Ernie Gygax and Justin LaNasa's TSR, and finally a reflexive C&D issued by Renegade Game Studios to The Polyhedral Knights over the title of their Kickstarter project Renegade City.

Veilguard Unhinged: A Rant in a Nutshell | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast 1:25:00

منذ 10 أيام1:25:00

1:25:00

Quick heads up: Our guest Alex owns Alpha Comics & Games and is married to our co-host. #NotSponsored Guess what, listeners? I’ve seized control of the podcast again, which can only mean one thing. It is time for a proper rant. This week, I’m joined by dear, dear friends of the show (and professional GMs) Luke (@WunderBardic / @BraveB33) and Alex (@AlphaComicGames / @LexieSunshine) as we sink our teeth into Veilguard. We talk shop on character creation improvements, combat that actually feels fun, and the thrill of finally setting foot in places like Nevarra. And then, oh, and then, we get into Tevinter. Or rather, what little we were permitted to see from the docks of Fishtopia. We break down the lack of cultural identity, the romance arcs that somehow manage to be both present and absent at the same time, and the soul-crushing realization that all our hard-earned choices over the years might as well have been written in dry-erase marker. If you, too, have thoughts on Veilguard, pull up a chair. Misery loves company.

OMG WTF PAX Early access and bonus content on Patreon Subscribe to our monthly gaming newsletter Join the Discord We spent three days in Philly at Pax Unplugged. We suffered behind SEPTA buses that blocked intersections, had some pizza stolen, and were verbally accosted by someone claiming to be the Son of God. But the rest was fun and games. We got to hang out with our friends at Nomnivore Games, reconnect with Mage Hand Press and Flagbearer Games, see Potion Slingers' new video game demo, and meet a bunch of new people. Josh is using up the last of his Goblins and Growlers sick time for 2024, so Inver and I walked through the ins and outs of this year's Pax Unplugged with some observations about how it was different from last year and what that might mean for the industry overall. Be sure to check out the Patreon-exlusive Deep Dives on this episode where we dig into some of the economic and business conditions that could affect the industry in 2025. And, no, despite my best efforts, I could not find Xavier Woods anywhere this year. He must have known I was looking. But I did get to once again trade Dusty Rhodes impressions with streamer Captain Robear and this seems to be solidifying as the cornerstone of our relationship.

Bonus episodes and early access on Patreon at the $5 tier Subscribe to our monthly gaming newsletter Join the Discord There were a couple of stories that got us, again, thinking about the implications of AI in creative work. First, itch.io is implementing a relatively toothless anti-AI filter and second, crowdfunding platforms are finally having to reckon with the increasingly negative attitudes toward AI creations and weigh that against their desire to make money off of such projects. It ended up one of the most lengthy and fulfilling discussions I've had in a while! The Deep Dive episodes get even more philosophical, so don't miss them.

OMG WTF DMG Early access and bonus content on Patreon Subscribe to our monthly gaming newsletter Join the Discord Good gravy we spent so much time recording this episode and the Deep Dives -- 3.5 hours of content from one recording session. But there was a lot to talk about. In this main-feed release of The Goblins and Growlers Podcast, Brandon, Inver, and Josh debate what works, what doesn't, and what's lacking from the new 2024 release of The Dungeon Master's Guide. There are things to like here and it's evident that Wizards of the Coast has paid attention to how the D&D community has developed over the last 10 years and incorporated that into these updated rules. Could they have gone further? Sure. Could they have gone into more detail? Definitely. Is it a useless book? Not at all. Just make sure you're the intended audience. Check out the GGP Deep Dive episodes (on the $5 tier) connected with this one -- the first one on the new Bastion rules is out this week and another going through the campaign creation chapter is coming next Monday.

Writing a very specific kind of game. Early access and bonus content on Patreon Subscribe to our monthly gaming newsletter Join the Discord Writing is hard. Josh and Brandon discuss the very specific kind of writing you have to do for a public/pick-up D&D game. It's a lot different than writing for a home game, but should it be? Obviously, folks should do what works best for them and their players, but there's definitely value in examining how you write for your home game. In this week's Patreon-exclusive GGP Deep Dive, they get into creative motivations and trouble that is getting from "I want to write this" to "I'm writing this."

We debrief on D&D Direct and talk about the new 2024 Players Handbook, the upcoming "total rewrite" of the Dungeon Masters Guide, and potential balance issues to look out for until the new Monstrous Manual comes out. Also, we try to decide Wizards of the Coast employees were actively trolling Josh on the pronunciation of "Sigil" during GenCon, and Brandon makes another push for new box set releases when we talk about the two new Forgotten Realms books coming out as part of the 2024 refresh. Somewhere in there we also mention the Dragon Anthology. We recorded a couple of longer Deep Dive videos for Patreon that will come out over the next couple of weeks. One of them is on branding and strategy mistakes that WotC has made throughout this whole edition refresh and the other is a discussion about the business end of third-party content on D&D Beyond.

A great treat today. After probably about 6 weeks of comparing schedules and various people fighting COVID, we were finally able to get together and chat with Kate, Kerby, and Britt from Nomnivore Games. We've run into the Noms a handful of times at various cons and it was great to get a chance to sit and talk with them. While you might know them from games like "Dungeons & Dinos" and "Emberwind," they're here to talk to us about their live Kickstarter for "Nomventure," a modular, stat-less RPG for kids . As of release day, their Kickstarter is going for another week, so check it out as soon as you can. The KS has links to a free rules primer and a basic adventure so you can see what the game is like. We're so happy they were able to make the time not only for this chat but also for three Deep Dive videos on our Patreon that will come out over the next few weeks.

In our efforts to become more pro, we sent Josh to GenCon as a correspondent because we were able to get invites to a bunch of industry networking events. It's a tale of long-haul driving, spaceship administration, and insomnia. Despite being a multi-year veteran of DragonCon, this was Josh's first trip to the Hoosier state for THE largest tabletop gaming convention. Josh was able to chat with Jess Lanzillo, the head of D&D for Wizards of the Coast, and Kobold Press COO, Alexander Stangroom, to get some insight about D&D's plan for digital copies of books for print buyers and Kobold's Black Flag Resource Document. Something to take note of: We had a TON to talk about from this trip and some of it is super in the weeds. We didn't want to spend weeks on the main feed downloading from GenCon, so we've got four other videos that are like 15-20 minutes or so a piece. We've been planning to reboot our Patreon and breathe some new life into it after some COVID- and general stress-related neglect, so those coming out on our Patreon over the next few weeks.

I'm in the last couple of weeks of my grad school experience, so Noah was kind enough to suggest this episode's topic, too, to give my brain a bit of a break. We're talking about the virtues, vices, and play strategies for dice-heavy players versus role-playing players. Role versus Roll.

Just where is the future of third-party content going? There's been some doomsaying about the level of support those kinds of Kickstarters are getting now compared to what they were. We take a look at some Kickstarters in the continuing analysis of the OGL fallout from last year. We also dig in a little on the philosophical differences between efforts like DC20 and Tales of the Valiant. And you know we have thoughts on Tales of the Valiant.

Castle of the Winds is a PC RPG/Roguelike from the Windows 3.1 era, which is a weird time for games. We get into this in the episode but, basically, Win 3.1 was very much primarily a business application and its native games were like a square peg in a round hole.

The CEO of Dungeons & Dragons' parent company, Chris Cocks, gave an interview where he talked about AI and Hasbro's research and development into how to apply it to Dungeons & Dragons. It's an interesting interview (link below the jump) that more or less spells out that they're likely to use it for some kind of virtual DM - but that's still just speculation. We discuss the likeliest manifestation of something like that and how they could make it work while respecting the work of human writers and gamemasters. Also, we do a quick preview of the new "Quests from the Infinite Staircase" and mention a Humble Bundle for tons of great RGP books from Magpie Games! Finally, if you're listening to this on Monday, April 1, tomorrow is the last day of the Kickstarter for "Born from Ice." Help them hit that Neanderthal stretch goal!

Today we talk with Loren Small, the creator of "Born from Ice," a 5E-compatible setting with a few twists. It’s a complete tabletop setting that’s built on Fifth Edition but takes place on Paleolithic Earth. All cavepeople, all the time. Oh, and I should probably mention that there’s no magic, so everything is harder. It has some other cool aspects like generational play. BFI’s Kickstarter launches Tuesday, March 5 and you can check it out here (once it’s live). It’s coming with a core rule book, a bestiary, and an adventure path. I was excited about it even before talking with Loren, so it was great to hear how BFI came to be and learn about Loren's path to creating it.

Is this the END of a tabletop GOLDEN AGE? (Someone thinks so) | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast 1:25:52

منذ 1 year1:25:52

1:25:52

Good Goblin Monday, everyone. This week, we're analyzing an essay that claims we're at the end of "The Golden Age of Tabletop Roleplaying Games." As you might expect, the writer is using the 2023 OGL Crisis as the jumping-off point for their argument, so this should be coming right after our "D&D is Stronger than Ever" episode. The essay has all the hallmarks of a hyperbolic reaction that blows things out of proportion, but some nuggets of truth in there are hard to disagree with. Full topics breakdown below the jump, along with a couple of other brief topics we hit at the top of the episode.

The article discusses the perceived end of the golden age of tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) that began around the start of the 2010s. Link to the Essay: https://www.facebook.com/777800284/posts/10168399913785285/?mibextid=K8Wfd2 Rise in Popularity: The rise of TTRPGs was fueled by factors like the popularity of Stranger Things and actual plays like Critical Role, bringing in a significant number of new players. Fracturing Community: The emergence of new TTRPGs is seen as a potential shattering of the community, with players now being asked to choose sides between different systems, leading to division and balkanization. Historical Comparison: The article draws a parallel to the 1990s when TSR, the first publisher of Dungeons & Dragons, faced challenges as the TTRPG audience became fans of specific settings rather than the overall game. Diversity in Games: During this golden age, there was a diverse range of TTRPGs, including D&D 5E dominating the D20 fantasy family, other OGL games, and a flourishing indie scene with games redefining what a TTRPG is, like Apocalypse World. Challenges for New Games: The article argues that despite the potential quality of new TTRPGs, the business is challenging, and the recent changes, including the end of the OGL, may make it even more difficult for companies to succeed. Impact on Content Creators: The author speculates on the impact of the changes on content creators and platforms like MCDM and Critical Role, suggesting potential shifts in focus and potential declines in support for D&D. Predictions for the Future: The article concludes with predictions about the future, including the expectation that 6th edition D&D may not perform as well as its predecessor, potential challenges for crowdfunding campaigns, and a decline in the overall excitement and diversity of TTRPGs unless significant changes occur. Argues that MCDM will be the “Last Big Crowdfunded TTRPG.

OGL One Year Later: Is D&D Stronger Than Ever Now? 1:12:53

منذ 1 year1:12:53

1:12:53

Josh was under the weather, so we were lucky enough to snag Noted TTRPG Attorney Noah Downs, Esq ., to come and talk about and offer his on-the-ground perspective about the tumultuous last 12 months in Dungeons & Dragons and the tabletop gaming space overall. Do you think Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro has recovered from the PR nightmare that was the Open Gaming License controversy? I'd argue that even with last month's layoffs, D&D is far stronger now and better positioned to thrive than it was this time last year. Check below for all the topics we discussed. The OGL Controversy One Year Later Despite the body blow to the company, is Wizards of the Coast actually *better off* now than they were a year ago? WotC juking everyone with Creative Commons D&D's 5.1 SRD going into Creative Commons wasn't at the top of anyone's list of probabilities when everything with OGL started. Third Parties’ Plans Foiled Third-party publishers clearly planned for a different outcome when they started announcing their upcoming D&D alternatives. But, once WotC went with Creative Commons, it seems like they scrambled to still move forward without losing face even though their original motivation was less and less relevant. One D&D (Can we even call it that anymore)? Call it One D&D, call it 6.0. Whatever it is, it's coming, and it remains to be seen if it's going to be "iterative" like was originally announced or an entirely new ruleset. You would think that releasing the 5.1 SRD into Creative Commons would incentivize them to release a whole new ruleset. Wasn’t there a D&D movie? Yes, and it bombed. We talk about why. WotC’s Book Price Bloat Sure there's inflation and things generally cost more, but what extra value are you getting for the additional cost of these books? Planescape returns… is it worth it? Rerelease, remix, or return to get your money back? Does the new 5E Planescape justify its existence? Ernie Gygax and Justin La Nasa’s NuTSR files Chapter 7 Uninclusive company with a racist and transphobic product continues to have problems and files for bankruptcy after ing around and finding out. Weird D&D channel What's the deal with that D&D free ad-supported television channel? Who asked for this? More importantly, who's paying for it? AI’s influence on content creation AI has 100% affected every corner of content creation in the last year and WotC wasn't safe, either. We talk about the real AI art scandal and the smaller, made-up one that came at the end of the year.

Dungeons & Dragons Layoffs, Project Black Flag’s Relevancy | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast 1:11:21

Happy Christmas Eve! We figured we'd stick a present under your virtual tree and release this episode a day early! We hope everyone's had a great holiday season so far and we'll see you in the new year!

Was this an instance of sharing the pain in a demonstration of "fairness" by the parent corporation? Also, is that new free-ad-supported Dungeons & Dragons channel part of Hasbro's Entertainment division? If so, then maybe don't get too attached to it. Somewhat related to the layoffs, there's also some new kerfuffle over the use of AI art, but it seems like it could just be a misunderstanding from some folks on the Internet. Finally, we chat about "Tales of the Valiant," nee "Project Black Flag." When Kobold Press announced this new roleplaying system, it was before Wizards of the Coast juked everyone and irrevocably placed the Fifth Edition System Reference Document into Creative Commons. Now that the core of 5E is protected like that, is there really a need for what Kobold Press' own people have called 5E with "a fresh coat of paint." Ultimately, what's their differentiator? What's their argument for us to purchase a new set of books with largely the same rules we already have? We dig into detail on all these during this episode of “The Goblins and Growlers Podcast.” JOIN 800+ GOBLINS ON OUR DISCORD: http://bit.ly/goblindiscord LISTEN, RATE, AND SUBSCRIBE!

Does D&D’s 2024 Release Slate Excite You? | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast 1:08:48

On Today's Goblins and Growlers Podcast We’d planned today to talk about Kobold Press’ “Tales of the Valiant"/Project Black Flag, but had to change things up a bit. Brandon and a few of the other Goblins were at PAX Unplugged the weekend before last when Wizards of the Coast announced the 2024 lineup of Dungeons & Dragons books. So, much like last year, we decided to dive into the list a little bit to see if anything excited us. It's an interesting slate, but also very different from what came out in 2023. The 2024 D&D releases Descent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, an update of a First Edition module. Vecna: Eve of Ruin, featuring, obviously, the lich-god Vecna. Supposedly, this is some kind of tour of the D&D Multiverse. The 2024 Player’s Handbook, part of the rules update formerly known as One D&D. The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons: 1970-1976, a collection of letters between D&D creators Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson along with images and scans from the original books with edits and footnotes. These letters have never been released to the public before. Quests from the Infinite Staircase, an anthology collection of adventures. We dig into detail on all these, including the potentially leaked and possibly incorrect release dates for them, during this episode of “The Goblins and Growlers Podcast.” Also, here's an embarrassing picture of Brandon from PAX: JOIN OUR MONTHLY GAMING NEWS NEWSLETTER https://goblinsandgrowlers.beehiiv.com/subscribe JOIN 800+ GOBLINS ON OUR DISCORD http://bit.ly/goblindiscord LISTEN, RATE, AND SUBSCRIBE!
