Hi! I'm Josh

If you're running Night Below: An Underdark Campaign, you might want to make some changes to Book 1: The Evils of Haranshire. While it's widely considered the best of the three books in the series, it is not without its shortcomings. In this video, we'll be looking at 5 ways to improve this book! 0:00 Introduction 0:18 Better Jelenneth Quest Intro 1:38 NPC Allies in the Party 3:07 When to Incorporate PC Backgrounds (this is more general advice than a change to the module itself, but still relevant) 4:09 Better Garlstone Mines 5:23 Better Bloodskull Orcs To Support Copper Dragon Games: Disclaimer: Some links here are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission from purchases you make.

If you're running Night Below: An Underdark Campaign, this is what you can expect in Book 1: The Evils of Haranshire.

In this video, we'll be taking a look at the playtest packet for the Project Black Flag RPG by Kobold Press. We'll be exploring the game mechanics and character creation options provided in the packet, and sharing thoughts and opinions on the contents.

With the 5.1 SRD in Creative Commons now, the OGL controversy MIGHT be over, but who will keep publishing 5E-compatible products? As it turns out, it looks like both EN Publishing and Kobold Press - EN Publishing by continuing their Level Up: Advanced 5E line of products and Kobold Press with their Black Flag Project, which they have now confirmed will be 5E compatible.

Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro) released a statement about NOT deauthorizing OGL 1.0a, AND releasing the 5th edition SRD under Creative Commons license. This is a pretty awesome turn of events that I certainly didn't expect, but what does it mean for the D&D brand moving forward? This is a HUGE step in the right direction, but WotC has backed themselves in a corner if they still want to create the walled garden VTT that they seemed to be aiming for. Will this lead them to lessen OneD&D's compatibility with previous editions? Fingers crossed that the Black Flag Project from Kobold Press ends up being 5E compatible... no news on this, but I'm hopeful!

Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro) released a new apology, and while it did appear better than the last, they still ignored the primary issue: the deauthorization of OGL 1.0a. Meanwhile, @KoboldPressGames announced more details on their upcoming Black Flag Project, including a playtest timeline, confirmation that they'll be using Paizo's ORC license, and whether or not it'll be compatible with Deep Magic 2.

Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro) responded, but didn't address the real problem, so it's time to look for REAL open gaming content. Paizo and Kobold Press have ORC and Black Flag in the works, but I'm impatient. There are some games on the market already that feature open licenses. Which one should I highlight first?
