    DDAL Lost Tales of Myth Drannor: DDAL's "Secret" D&D Book For Gen Con 50

    So this will definitely be PoD? Hopefully closer to Christmas than Easter because I went to that con in Buffalo and it was the worst gaming experience ever! That website I bought my tickets through didn't say which DM was running which games, so I couldn't sign-up for a game where I'd have a...

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    I apologize if my suggestion for Greyhawk came off as FR-hate. A very large (huge) chunk of my gaming shelf contains numerous Forgotten Realms box sets, modules, and adventures spanning 1st, 2nd, 3.0/3.5, and of course 5th. It has never been suggested that we who post on forums "are the center...

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    I do have one more thing to say (LOL)! I own 1E's Waterdeep and the North, 2E's Free City of Greyhawk and City of Splendors box sets, and 3E's Waterdeep: City of Splendors book ..... and Green Ronin's Freeport book smokes them all in my opinion. Would love to see Green Ronin do a Free City of...

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    I'm trying not to come off as argumentative, but I don't understand your points. If adding a book like a Greyhawk Adventurer's Guide would be disruptive to AL and the video game .... then as you said, those entities should ignore the Greyhawk release. If those November releases are so important...

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    For movie and toy purposes, that is understandable. But if you are right, then WoTC shouldn't be putting out products like Dungeonolgy with that Volo's Guide to the Forgotten Realms in the back that mentions Kara-Tur, Zakahara, Greyhawk, and even Sigil. It also is frustrating to see something...

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    Normally, I'd agree because I remember those late-70's and early-80's modules were very campaign-neutral since the game was marketed more for homebrew playing. Unfortunately, right at the beginning of ToA on pg.6, it clearly states that Acererak's home world is Oerth.

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    I'm really enjoying the information on the starting Port and Chult. (I'm a sucker for region fluff and maps) I haven't really gotten into the dungeon chapter(s) yet. The monster appendix is nice. My only gripe (and it's minor) ..... I really wish they'd stop moving Greyhawk stuff out of...

    DDAL Lost Tales of Myth Drannor: DDAL's "Secret" D&D Book For Gen Con 50

    This is very unfortunate. This past January I was diagnosed with ALS. In the last eight months, my voice is pretty much gone, my right hand is useless (I'm typing with just my left hand which is getting weaker as well), and I'm constantly tired. This isn't sour grapes ... but why am I telling...

    [UPDATED] WotC & Goodman Games Partner To Reprint Classic Modules for 5E

    This is what I'm expecting. I'm tired of the Realms also.

    Classic D&D of All Eras Back In Print

    I have always wondered ........ If you believe everything that WoTC says about the problems with TSR, didn't the auditor (or whoever he was) state that when he got to TSR he found a warehouse pretty much filled to the ceiling with pallets and pallets of product that was never shipped or sold? If...

    CURSE OF STRAHD Is Out Today (In Some Stores)

    SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! Found my first complaint. The end of Chapter 2, pg. 39. The Mad Mage of Mount Baratok is actually Mordenkainen? Oh c'mon. It then goes on to describe how he underestimated how much of a connection Strahd has with the land and creatues in...

    CURSE OF STRAHD Is Out Today (In Some Stores)

    Just got home with my copy. I pulled the map out at the store and opened it up. My buddy (who owns the store) and I were all shocked by the map. The picture that was posted showing the backside of the map (the side with map of Castle Ravenloft,) didn't really impress me at first. Now seeing it...

    Want To Earn $50 Scanning Classic D&D Books?

    And of course, I have tons on that list (mostly from the 1st and 2nd edition list, even some from the 3.5 list too) ..... but don't own a printer.

    Curse of Strahd Will Have A Map Pullout Poster

    Well ..... I've caved. I just came back from my buddy's new store and pre-ordered Curse of Strahd. Hopefully they can get it on the 4th. I do think it's great that they are including a map. Has there been any news on the new miniatures set for this adventure? (I've looked everywhere but I can't...

    CURSE OF STRAHD: Here's The Official Announcement & Cover Image!

    I've read so much on the history of the game, and this blows my mind. Then add what the next post originally states about how they considered this a point of pride!!!! Now we see why TSR had so many problems. So I'm going to take the high road, because looking at it from your point of view, I...

    CURSE OF STRAHD: Here's The Official Announcement & Cover Image!

    Better story telling? You do realize that all the adventure books WoTC has released so far, (with the exception of the Starter Set adventure,) are based on old adventures from earlier editions right? Even Out of the Abyss has elements of Descent into the Depths of the Earth and Vault of the Drow.

    DMing in Adventurer's League?

    My buddy has just opened a comic book store here in town. They are now listed on the WoTC site as an official distributor. I stopped in tonight at his shop and we were like 2 little girls at a boyband concert talking about Curse of Strahd. He asked me that once they get Adventurer's League...

    Pathfinder In Space! Aethera Combines Wizards & Starships

    I have to agree with everything you say here. I just found out about it myself, and unfortunately, with the holidays right around the corner and 2 teenagers, money is tight on my end. I want so badly to throw some money into this. It breaks my heart that this may not come to light in this...

    Mike Schley's MASSIVE Forgotten Realms Map From SCAG!

    Thank-you. I have ran into this problem many times on these forums when I bring up an opposing view point. I do have an issue with the way the map was handled. It's obviously not a popular comment here. Mike's map looks amazing. He does beyond stellar work (I bought his City of Greyhawk 3.5...

    Mike Schley's MASSIVE Forgotten Realms Map From SCAG!

    Has anyone bought the digital version? Does it come with a full size version of the map, or is it all divided into those smaller maps? $136 for the 24x30 print version is ridiculous. I know many are going to defend this, and I am all for supporting these artists, but that is insane! I suppose...
