    D&D 5E (2024) Ed Greenwood to Publish 4 New Forgotten Realms Sourcebooks in 2026

    Because Greenwood has over 4 decades of Dalelands specific prep notes, probably.

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    Two big issues with those regions: first, they never have received much attention. Second, in 4E they were obliterated. So they are both obscure and controversial. Not a good combo for development focus. However, if they did a Shining Soith plus Zakahara book thet gives these areas a proped new...

    In this short talking about the background to the genesis of the Cosmere RPG, Johnny O'Neal drops a hint that the Plotweaver generic RPG will have guidelines for generating characters using the Call to Adventure board game, similar to the current guidelines for Stormligjt or using Call to...

    D&D 5E (2024) PAX WotC Dungeons and Dragons speculation thread.

    The usual lead time is about 3 months, that's the closest to product release WotC has announced stuff historically as they have to get the word out to distribution at that point.

    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    The whole cards thing irritates me, but this game is moving onto my Borthday/Christmas wishlist at this point. Too unsure if I want it myself to invest dkrectly, but good fodder for a gift suggestion for an interesting surprise.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I mean, quite the contrary, the game being pretty pick up and go is a big reason Magic really isn't having problems. True, though the ad hoc nature of kitchen play means all sorts of wild things are provavly going on. Commander is perfect for casual social play, and for kitbasbinf something out...

    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    Weird zero sum thinking, that it is impossible for both Daggerheart and D&D to thrive.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    It has always seemed sensible and probable to me. Over the years, I have spent a few hundred dollars on Magic (bits and bobs here and there, nothing huge), but I have never drafter or done FNM or any sort of formal play. And how they know is obvious enough: serious market research. You would...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Commander is very popular, but "kitchen table" Magic is still going yo be the dominant format. Most Msgic players have never drafted, played Conmander, or done anything else in a formal setting line FNM.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Secret Lair now, and a full Kpop set in a few years

    D&D 5E (2024) Orc lore in the new Forgotten Realms books?

    I mean, it's right there in the MM.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    You know what, I was curious about this, and was fairly surprised as a casual not-plugged in very occasional Magic player...but Magic is actually not a tern oriented game like D&D. With D&D, the average players are Teens, from middle school to college, and then it tapers off. But for Magic, the...
