The OGL, D&D, & Wizards of the Coast - My Thoughts (Im very sad and tired)Sherlock Hulmes2023-01-14 | After an emotional rollercoaster of a week, I've put together all my thoughts and feelings about the current situation with Wizards of the Coast, D&D, the Open Gaming License (OGL), as well as a summarised version of what's been going on if you don't already know.
As mentioned in the video, here are links to Linda's articles & DnDShorts channel for more in-depth information about everything.
I take a look at the newly revised Great Old One Warlock Patron from the upcoming 2024 Players Handbook for Dungeons & Dragons, and provide some advice and things to think about for DMing a Warlock Player or playing a Warlock yourself.
Music and SFX from artlist.ioThank you! OGL and D&D Update (Jan 28th 2023). RPG Creator/Designer Thoughts!Sherlock Hulmes2023-01-28 | As I said in the video, I really just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone for the support, kindness and understanding shown in my last video. And another HUGER thank you for everyone who gave feedback to Wizards, filled in the survey, shared info and generally, helped make the very positive result yesterday happen!
Music and SFX from Epidemicsound (epidemicsound.com)A new Edition of Dungeons & Dragons? - D&D Celebration UpdateSherlock Hulmes2021-09-27 | D&D Celebration 2021 revealed a huge bit of D&D news. Work has officially begun on "the next evolution of D&D". New Dungeons & Dragon rulebooks are scheduled for 2024!
What does it MEAN?! Are we all old now? Are books useless? Will we play with brain stems that transport us directly into fantasy imaginations of our DMs?!
I give a rundown of the big news and share some thoughts on what to expect.
Music and SFX from Epidemicsound (epidemicsound.com)$1000 LARP COSTUME HAUL 2021! - Armstreet Clothing Try-OnSherlock Hulmes2021-03-05 | I am back again with another LARP Costume HAUL! Loads of folks loved my Wish video and wanted to see what good costume stuff you could buy and after having to wait ages for delivery (thanks to certain things happening in the world right now), and then getting bogged down in loads of D&D projects and work, I finally managed to get the time to shoot and edit this video together!
Everything is from armstreet.com bought on their Black Friday sale. Super high quality costume pieces for LARP. Highly recommend!
I'm so impressed by Arcadia and have very high hopes for future issues! I think this is exactly the sort of third-party, community, content that D&D needs and can't wait to see more!
And don't let my jokey thumbnail convince you I'm not super excited for Candlekeep Mysteries (which I wrote an adventure for) either! Hopefully will be able to talk more about it and share details of my own adventure in it soon!
