It's only the most important part of EN World for me. That includes everything but Boardgaming News.

ICv2 has been showing Pathfinder as No. 1 and D&D as No. 2 for some time. The latest ICv2 report shows D&D dropping to No. 3, with the Star Wars RPG in 2nd place. To reverse that trend, D&D Next is going to have to be a whole lot better than the stuff that's been pumped out so far. An...

I doubt very much that 5E - with or without Ed Greenwood - will be able to resurrect the magic of the original AD&D 1E grey box. Too much has been mangled too thoroughly to ever make sense of the Realms again, and gee golly whillikers, Ed's getting old and probably pretty tired too.

Gee golly whillikers! Excellent post! I think the FR in their early generation were the greatest campaign setting that I've ever seen, a bit ahead of Greyhawk. I was my setting for more than a decade. However, it kept getting run through the TSR and then WotC and then WotC/Hasbro meat...

Ryan's post doubtless makes different points to different people. The point that I got is that a TRPG in the hands of a company like Hasbro can leave you high and dry any day of the week. It confirms my decision to drop D&D (R) at the time 4E appeared and to go to Pathfinder (R), an RPG...

No ... that was an error. However, our attorney believes that because we are RPG publishers, we are required to use the legal signature anytime we send E-Mail that involves the RPG business.

Just some personal opinion: This announcement, I think, is the dangerous side of 4E and the GSL. If you read it carefully, you'll note that Necromancer (once a major d20 publisher) hasn't put out anything new for a year and isn't going to put out anything new in the near future ... nothing at...

Dungeons Daring™ open RPG testing begins Alpha testing of the new free, Open Game Dungeons Daring™ RPG has begun with the release of the 304-page alpha of the Dungeons Daring Players Guide. Anyone interested can download the Players Guide free and take part in the alpha review process, to be...

This has been discussed here already, and it's decided now, so I'll throw it into the soup. Those of you who have interest, suggestions, or whatever might want to join our new Yahoo groups mailing list: dungeons-daring-at-yahoogroups.com. We really need ideas and input from you, so we hope...

This hadn't really occurred to me until I talked to some other publishers. As we know from D&D Brand Manager Scott Rouse's posting, d20 will vanish in less than a year. That means that all of the d20 PDF material for 3.5 that's out there now will have to be remade as new PDFs with the d20...

Allowing that would be a complete switch of policy to date on WotC's part. If things continue as they have been, you would have to drop the d20 logo from 3.5 PDF products almost immediately, and you would not be allowed to bring out new paper copies of 3.5 products with the d20 logo. WotC...

Behind the "Other" vote: Who's converting?

You should have used check boxes instead of option fields. In may campaign, the first two options are correct for my campaign, but with option fields, I can click only one.

A question is missing: Would you buy only if an SRD is available? That would make my answer "Probably. Core books only." If 4E is closed without SRD, I wouldn't even open the cover, much less buy it. Basically, I need 4E about as much as I needed another hole in my head. I did need and...

I prefer elves that are between the Tolkien and Lord Dunsany (King of Elfland's Daughter) versions. An older, higher race that has vanished into elusive lands that are difficult to enter and difficult to leave (a la Dunsany) but also were the greatest post-creator race, one that in ancient...

No, hardly, seeing that I run my campaign in German. But I do use bits of various other German dialects as well as things from various forms of old German. My Elminster (Forgotten Realms campaign) isn't beyond calling a young man "Geselle min" or a girl a "Megede."

I'm running an epic level campaign with 5 PCs ranging in level from 19 to 25. There hasn't been much of the described problem in the campaign. In most cases, so much damage is dealt by a single hit that the pace hasn't been much slower than it would be at lower levels.

I'm not in the market for a new computer. I'm not in the market for a new wife. I'm not in the market for a new car. Nor am I in the market for a new fantasy RPG rules system. I'll ignore 4E. Blissfully.
