These games have all been making a profit, serving a market, and spreading the talk of D&D. They will continue releasing them. And if you read through all the recent tweets from Beamdog, it's all but certain it's PTEE. I wouldn't put much home in that translating into the next adventure path...

I backed it the first day at the highest level. I'm very much looking forward to this game, particularly if it delivers on fun sessions with very little GM prep. Based on it's progress so far, I'm pretty positive it will hit its pledge goal. They're about to hit 50K with 23 days to go. I'm...

Looking forward to this. Backed it first day :)

No, I'm pretty sure I heard multiple of the authors talk about it, maybe at a GenCon panel I heard on a podcast, and they said, at least for the sundering, that they got together and planned out the large strokes of what they were all doing. But the implication, or maybe they just came out and...

Thr industry is looking for the next marvel comics franchise. They've burnt most of the fantasy and sci fI novel base, gone through most of the YA, and they know franchises like Star Wars and marvel are worth not just hundreds of millions but billions. Hasbro is cognizant that too. That's why...

im pretty sure that sweet pea never gave up the movie rights that warmer and Hasbro were trying to sue to acquire back, and that's why sweet pea is co-producing. I also don't believe Hasbro is going to give up the rights to the D&D brand. That's actually the most valuable part. The rpg just...

agreed. It was actually stated clearly that she was now going off and creating her own thing, which meant she had to come up with her own magic system and geography, the idea of doing which she thought sucked. I was listening to see if WotC was going to speak to why it was the last one, but...

Do you recall any keen insights?

I considered that, but there's no way they're abandoning the realms anytime soon. They've basically said that they might go visit other realms but would stay anchored in FR. Also, I'm pretty sure the movie is set in FR. All their 5E work is about building the brand identity of D&D through the...

Sometimes in business, you decide to stop doing a profitable thing because you realize the time and capital required to generate that profit could be more profitable if you invested it somewhere else. It's called "opportunity cost". When you decide to take one opportunity, it may preclude you...

Yeah, I'd just been binge listening to Salvatore's audiobooks because I wanted more context on Gauntlgrym and the War of the Silver Marches after reading through the gazetteer in Storm King's Thunder. This news struck me as a bit of a surprise. However, learning of this now, I can definitely...

Word for word, hence the quotation marks :p

Its not unreasonable to think that they might want to focus on movie novelization, or even that they might get have entered into an agreement with Warner around what will be done in print when the movie comes out and how profit from that merchandising will be split. It it does seem strange...

i did a couple of searches on the forum and didn't come up with anything. If there's a prior thread you can point me to I'd be happy to read it / post on it.

I was just listening to The Tome Show / D&D Round Table episode 139 and they suggest that we might not see any more Forgotten Realms books. Their evidence? Erin M. Evans's Brimstone Angels series is ending, and on her blog she says she's not happy about it. The "Next Issue" section of this...

At last: the realization of the My Little Pony RPG is at hand!!! Edit: Well damn, I thought My Little Pony was a property of Mattel, not Hasbro. Humor fail. :)

I never got to play a character with psionics way back in the AD&D / 2e days of my youth but I definitely wanted to. I think the draw was, and still is, that the power comes from within you. It's the idea that you can use your mind to manifest tangible things and have a physical effect on your...

Sweet, I'm going to have to log in and check it out!

BTW, just wanted to say great article! Usually prefer to provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism. :) I have fond memories of my dad bringing home from work a portable dumb terminal with an acoustic coupler on it. We'd dial into his work VAX (at 1200 baud) and I'd play...
