RPG: Ironsworn's 'Lodestar' Gives You Everything You Need In One Book-And You Can Pay What You Want For It

5 days ago | belloflostsouls.net | J.R. Zambrano

A new supplement for the hit fantasy RPG, Ironsworn, collects and condenses the rules into an easy-to-use reference. Check out Lodestar. I’m a huge fan of Ironsworn and Ironsworn: Starforged and the like. They are some of the most interesting takes on the Powered-by-the-Apocalypse framework. With Ironsworn, you’ll find a robust system that lets you tell fantasy sagas about adventuring in a harsh world with an unforgiving wilderness, dangerous cities and settlements and more.
D&D And Demeo Cross Over In 'Battlemarked' - Ironically, This Might Be The Actual Best 3D Virtual Tabletop Version Of Dungeons & Dragons

5 days ago | belloflostsouls.net | J.R. Zambrano

Demeo is a video game full of virtual dungeon crawls, and it’s getting an exciting new D&D crossover with Battlemarked an expansion later htis year. If you haven’t played Demeo, you should. It’s an amazing game that celebrates tabletop RPGs, especially in the “you’re gathered in your best friend’s basement to play some D&D” type of way.
'Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2' Shows Off Siege Mode - A Desperate Last Stand Against The Tyranid Hordes

5 days ago | belloflostsouls.net | J.R. Zambrano

Grab two of your friends and hold out—for the Emperor. Siege Mode is coming to Space Marine 2, and it looks intense. How long do you think you and your friends could stand against a horde of oncoming Tyranids? Okay but if you were Space Marines, I mean. Because, yeah, I imagine it’d e over pretty quick if it was just me and my buddies and an actual swarm of ‘nids. No question.
D&D: Five New Low Level Monsters Ready To Take On Your First-Level Party

5 days ago | belloflostsouls.net | J.R. Zambrano

Tired of the same old goblin fights at 1st level? The 5.5E Monster Manual is full of new low level monsters, all under CR 1. Low level monsters are the backbone of D&D. They help set the tone of the game – and especially for new players, can be the thing that draws you in from sitting around the table, to being there in the world of the game, fighting horrible little goblins that are trying to kill you.
Warhammer 40K: The Nobility of Treason - Chaos Knight Houses

5 days ago | belloflostsouls.net | J.R. Zambrano

Today, Loremasters, we examine those once noble Knight Houses who fell prey to the temptations of the ruinous powers – traitors through and through. Today we look at five infamous Houses among scores of their twisted brethren. Originating on the world of Baroda in the Coronid Deeps, House Makabius achieved supremacy during the Age of Strife in 831.M30 when it vanquished the rival House Wentorth and ended the world’s eight hundred year civil war.
D&D: The Psykinetic Subclass Is One Of The Coolest Things I've Seen In A While

6 days ago | belloflostsouls.net | J.R. Zambrano

The Psion playtest adds a ton of new stuff to the game, but perhaps my favorite thing of all is the new Psykinetic subclass. The Psion playtest brings a lot of new toys to D&D 5.5E. And while Psions themselves are hardly new to D&D, this interpretation broadens the subclass scope. There are four new subclasses (even the one that lets you cast Misty step a bunch), but of all of them, the Psykinetic might just be my own personal favorite.
New D&D Video Game In The Works From 'Jedi: Survivor' Director And Giant Skull

6 days ago | belloflostsouls.net | J.R. Zambrano

There’s a brand new single player D&D video game in the works from the new studio founded by Stig Amussen, of Jedi: Survivor fame. Another of Wizards of the Coast’s many D&D projects has been revealed—this time, it’s a new single-player video game in the works from developer Giant Skull, the studio founded by Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor game director, Stig Amussen. Exciting news, because those are absolutely two of my favorite Star Wars games.
D&D: Five Transmutation Spells That Will Let You Be Your Truest Self

6 days ago | belloflostsouls.net | J.R. Zambrano

Transmutation spells are perhaps the most diverse group in D&D. They do everything from controling the wind, to changing your own self. Transmutation is one of the biggest schools of magic in D&D. With more than 100 spells (across multiple books, including Tasha’s Cauldron and Xanathar’s Guide which are still, technically, playable), Transmutation has a wide range of options available to it. Including controlling the weather. Making metal superhot.
Warhammer 40K Next Week: Chaos Knights Prove You Can Be Stompy AND Spiky

1 week ago | belloflostsouls.net | J.R. Zambrano

Next week, Chaos Knights tromp onto the battlefields for pre-order, making the grim darkness of the distant future, that much spikier. Chaos Knights put the terror in technological terror by taking the impossibly huge warmachines that are Imperial Knights and then empowering them with Chaos – usually in the form of extra spikes and chains that attach to the carapace so you know it’s evil. May as well throw in some skulls for good measure, too.
D&D: Five Consumable Items You Won't Want to Save Til the Very End

1 week ago | belloflostsouls.net | J.R. Zambrano

D&D is full of magic items you’re meant to use once and then it’s gone. But who actually does that? Especially with items like these. The idea of an adventurer laden down with elixirs that enhance their capabilities, with healing potions, and full recovery juice boxes, staunchly refusing to use them because “what if the next fight is real hard” is so real, it’s practically a personal attack.
