BoardGameTables.com is changing its name to Allplay.
BoardGameTables.com was founded eight years ago. At the time, we only sold board game tables. Through the years we've added bags, playmats, and shelves, as well as publishing seventeen board games and eight expansions. The change reflects both who we have become and where we want to go.

D&D and TTRPGs

Dragonlance Arrives…

Dragonlance Arrives Under The Shadow Of The Dragon Queen
Dungeons & Dragons is not just a place where people create their own fantasy world. It also created several fantasy settings beloved by people around the world. One of my favorites was Dragonlance, which I actually read before Lord of the Rings and was my first introduction to fantasy literature.

DMDave and OneD&D -

TL;DR

So the long and short of all of this is this:

I'm going to keep creating 5th-edition content. And if OneD&D becomes available for me to make stuff with without having to go through DNDB to do it, I'm going to make stuff for that, too. I think it sounds like a cool edition!

But if I can't, I will no longer serve as an influencer and promoter for Wizards of the Coast and will point folks toward whoever makes the next set of rulebooks, whether that's me or somebody else with the means to become the next Paizo. No disrespect to Wizards and everything they've done for me in the thirty+ years I've been playing the game, but I gotta protect myself, my family, and my contractors.

My BGG New Years Resolution

WIP Backgammon -

Thanks Rodney for making this video. Backgammon was popular in the late 70s and I remember playing with my parents. It was a nice reminder and I look forward to playing again. I hope that - from time to time - you make more videos like this; however, I was a little disappointed when you didn't throw the case in the air and flip it before putting it back on the shelf
