This whole "debate" is ridiculous. The bottom line is that the piece of artwork was Larry's creation. He said he drew a male warrior, so it is a male warrior. You are free to imagine that it is a woman, dog, cat, owlbear or whatever you like. But the fact is the warrior depicted is a male. Much...
I really like the art on this release and would like to see a lot more from the artist. To be honest this cover is much cooler then the one for Vecna: Eve of Ruin IMHO
You can't remember specifics because what you said about Jeff is not true. I have watched many of his videos and have never seen where he had a "dismissive attitude toward inclusivity", quite the opposite actually. I think that if he was actually like you claim he is I would have probably...
Very cool news. As far as the trademark/copyright concerns go. I would not be surprised if there is some kind of agreement behind the scenes between TSR and Wizards of the Coast. Some of the people behind the new TSR still have a good relationship with the people at Wizards of the Coast. And I...
Lol you make it sound like a bunch of new designers are behind this just simply using the logo. Ernie Gygax Jr., Jim Ward , Jeff R. Leason, Larry Elmore (my favorite artist), and Jeff Dee are all from the original TSR. That is good enough for me!
Ernie and Luke are very close to each other. But I am not surprised that Luke has no involvement (at this point). Luke always mentioned that while he would like to do more game/adventure design that he is way too busy to do so.
This is great news. Chris Pine is a really good actor and I think he would be perfect for the type of movie that they are envisioning. The last I heard the D&D movie was going to have a Guardians of the Galaxy type of vibe (Serious yet fun). Chris Pine fits this perfectly.
As an Asian I have never had a problem with it. i thought that it was a pretty cool book. I was always obsessed with the samurai so naturally I was thrilled to be able to play one in D&D. The first time I ever saw the book was at a friends house who was also Asian.
I agree with what you are saying which is why I look at BOTH as the father of roleplaying games. The RPG game engine of D&D is fabulous. But I still stand by my original point that it was the game world and its monsters that captured my imagination as a child and held onto it ever since. If it...
I never looked at Gary Gygax as solely the father of role playing. But instead credit both Gygax and Arneson. However if you told me that I have to pick one I would still pick Gygax. As the article stated Gary was responsible for the ecology and world. All the fantastic things like owlbears...
Sorry to say but I have absolutely 0% sympathy for her. If she really cared about honoring Gary's legacy and wishes she would never have pulled the Lejendary Adventures license from Troll Lord Games. The people at Troll Lord were his friends and they did right by his game. She seems all about...
I am really excited about this and will buy it for sure. Actually I have been extremely happy with 5E Dungeons & Dragons in general. Now if the good folks at Wizards of the Coast can just bring back Dragonlance I will be ecstatic.
Really sad to see Gygax Magazine go. It truly did have that old Dragon Magazine feel to it. I have the first 3 issues and will order the other 3. I can slightly see why Gail opposed the magazine, being that she wanted control of all things Gygax. But overall I think that it was very silly on...
