I generally use Bluesky to learn more about my favorite tabletop roleplaying games, such as 13th Age.

Happy 25th Birthday to D&D 3E!

On August 10th, 2000, the PHB was released, as were character sheets and the Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game boxed set. The DMG was released in September.

Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit.

It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

FRPG GM Tip: When it comes to worldbuilding and adventure backstory, think “menu,” not “meal.” Players don't need a whole history prepped, cooked, and served up. They need you to give them a sense of what tastes the setup has to offer, then to let them order the specific entree they want to sample.

FRPG Player Tip: Playing a straightforward hero is a good idea when you’re new to a game. But even complicated characters like spellcasters can be simplified. Focus on one or two things you want to do with the character, even if that means ignoring other options while you get to know those options.

The PDFs of then #13thAge #2e #TTRPG has been released.

At first glance, I really like what I see! Really looking forward to the books. I generally avoid #DnD clones, but almost no rule is without exception. I like many ideas of this variant (icons, escalation die, proximity to #4e etc.)
