Even though I can see all my AD&D hardcovers on the bookshelf less than 10 feet away from me, I will be buying these very happily. These are the books that got me into gaming as a kid. The sprawling imagination, sense of wonder and enthusiasm which radiates from every page has been matched by...

It's not guaranteed that 5e will even use the PHB/DMG/MM model at all. From the sounds of it, I won't be shocked if the first product for it is a beginner's box set with the basic rules.

I would buy the MMO idea, if Turbine hadn't already been running the Dungeons & Dragons Online MMO for a couple of years now.

I've never really thought that RPGs really needed 1-3 extra books a month to be fun. I know people for whom the RPG hobby is really a shopping hobby, though; buying books IS their hobby. In that case, I could see why the current situation would be a problem. There's more than enough gaming...

Once again, Green Ronin doesn't have it. A few posts up is the link to their official word on the subject...

That's a bad stereotype, so I am going to politely disagree with you here. In 30 years of gaming, most of which has been in mixed-gender groups, I have found that you simply cannot generalize in this fashion. I've played with hardcore hack & slash women gamers (quite a few, actually). I've...

Since my tastes don't track very well with the mainstream of gaming these days, none of the various awards (ENnies, Origins, etc.) influences my purchasing at all.

If you don't like it, you don't like it. No big deal. Not everyone will like everything, as should be apparent from reading any Internet forum.

I also believe that power sources have been implicitly present in D&D for quite some time. This edition simply makes them a more prominent part of the game. That being said, I am quite apathetic about the change, since it doesn't feel like a change to me. It's like the class roles in that regard.

According to both my friend and John Kovalic (via his LJ), Dave passed away quietly last night. Kovalic has posted information about a public memorial: Dork Tidings

I can add an independent confirmation that Dave is still with us. I have a mutual friend with Dave, who spoke to his family not long ago. He is in a hospice, and is still with us, though for how long none can really say.

Rest in peace, Dave. You were always a nice guy to me.

I feel so sorry for Scott, or anyone who has to deal with the flack today.

I'm really surprised at how severe these numbers are. The last time I recall the majority of a game's audience rejecting a new edition like this is when Hero Games tried Champions:New Millenium. (At least, for a game I pay attention to.)

It is a very good edition of the game. I've played with the Eon and Mayfair editions also. The FFG one is the best presented, not just in terms of artwork, but in how much the design of the cards and components make learning and playing the game easier. Furthermore, Kevin Wilson, who...

And another tip of the hat and a huzzah for diaglo! Amazing!

Tipping my hat to Hong here. Well done, sir.

Awesome. The FAQ is MUCH clearer. Rock on -- the "poison pill" is not. Hey Clark, thanks for fighting the good fight!

Just take raise dead and resurrection out of your game. That'll remove the associated level loss completely, and perhaps instill some sense of perspective in the fellow. I find that people who whine about something like this tend to whine when other things don't go their way (poor hit point...

By "intent," I didn't mean motivation. I know the motivation is to make money. I meant that WotC should know what the language is whatever section of the GSL we're talking about was supposed to accomplish -- barring use of the OGL on a product by product basis, company by company basis, or...
