    That will absolutely be happening.

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    Absolutely. There is no way of knowing this sort of thing unless you are or were there. Even then, we often don't know. Thank you :) So far, things are looking positive. The outpouring of support has been a huge boost to my morale.

    Thanks! I look back fondly on those too.

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    Just to clarify, the issue with the deck truly was a manufacturing issue, as reported publicly. No one on the D&D creative Team has anything to do with manufacturing. We learned about it when you did. I can't speak to the decisions regarding why specific people were laid off (including my own...

    Origins Game Fair

    I'll be at Origins this year. Always interested in pickup games.

    Pathfinder 1E Looking for Pathfinder Game on Long Island

    I'm looking for a Pathfinder Game on Long Island. I live in the Hamptons and can host, but would consider games in other parts of the island, with a preference for Suffolk. I'd also consider other RPGs - D&D 4th/Next, Shadowrun, White Wolf, L5R, Palladium.

    Forgotten Realms Collector's Guide

    I just inherited a giant box full of all books and box-sets from 2nd ed. and before from a friend who moved and couldn't find a place for his collection. I'll definitely have to check it against this list.

    Where are you (D&D Documetary Kickstarter)?

    I backed it. Tavis always does a great job with anything he's involved with, so I have full faith that this documentary will hit the right notes.

    WotC Seeks Unity with a New Edition

    [Caveat: This is all speculation. Anyone I might know on the Design Team or who has been in early playtests is under NDA, so I don't have any more details than you do. I'm making what I hope are educated guesses, based on past experience. But this is a whole new frontier and anything can...

    Tom LaPille joins D&D R&D

    I am not an expert in Magic, so I can't speak to specifics of individual card sets, but I can say that no single designer or developer has the power to tank an entire line of any kind of product at WotC, be it RPGs, novels, Magic, or otherwise. Perhaps the Director of all of R&D might share some...

    Open Grave Excerpts: Kas the Betrayer

    I get to be surprised too, and I DID work on it :) Darn late author copies.

    Looking for 4e Game NYC

    Hi. I'm starting up a new group in Manhattan. I don't know where it will meet. I live in upper Manhattan, but could play somewhere farther south if someone wants to host there. I can't say what the demographics of the group might be yet. I just posted about it here.

    NY - Manhattan - New 4e Game

    I'm forming up a new 4e group to play 3-4 times a month (schedule 4 and assume life happens), during the week or on the weekends. The game would have both solid roleplaying elements and tactical and involved combat. Players and DM should be involved in the story and we'll probably set up a...

    Class Popularity?

    My experiences lead me to believe that there is no pattern of popularity. I've seen the ranger being the least played class, while others see it as the most played. I've seen the warlock as being the most popular, while others think it is among the least. I've played in four 4e campaigns (all...

    Forgotten Heroes: Fang, Fist, and Song - available at RPGNow.com

    I think it was more a matter of someone saying, "Monks don't wear armor," and then listing none in their proficiency section. It is definitely an error, and one we'll be fixing in our upcoming errata.

    Forgotten Heroes: Fang, Fist, and Song - available at RPGNow.com

    I can't comment on the proofreading because I'm not involved in that, but in terms of "font size," I think druids are more likely to create individual symbols that represent their rituals, rather than carving numerous words on their implements.

    I can't read 4e books like I could 3e books. You?

    I agree with Logan about the greater readability of the upcoming books. I think people will find the Draconomicon, Open Grave, and similar "monster" books to be more interesting to read.

    It is absolutely GSL compatible. We built the classes and powers in the same manner that happens with WotC books.

    Forgotten Heroes: Fang, Fist, and Song - available at RPGNow.com

    It will be for sale in print. I spoke explicitly with the guys at Wizards about this and left with the impressions that any material put out before a term is defined in WotC cannot be considered to conflict with that term. It's hazy and I guess it's possible that this could change, but they...
