    D&D 5E Reality Check: What 5E Will NOT Be

    Sheesh. That's enough for me. 5E WILL NOT: make you happy. Nor you. Nor you, over there hiding in the corner, clutching your pre-painted plastic rare-to-very-rare Dragonborn miniature. Nope, not going to happen. Sorry. 5E WILL NOT: wash your car, cook your dinner, rub your feet or be your...

    D&D 5E So why are you buying 5th edition?

    I'm not, until I get a chance to look it over. The days of my buying WotC D&D products sight unseen ended abruptly several years ago.

    Seminar Transcript - Charting the Course: An Edition for all Editions

    Am I reading this wrong (blame it on a bad cold and fever) but shouldn't the word "not" be placed in Monte's reply in the first sentence between "ask to do things that are" and "specifically covered"? Ow. It hurts to type.

    D&D 5E A 5e Setting: The Realm of the D&D Cartoon Show

    Just picked up a DVD of something like the first 9 episodes at WalMart for $4. I'd not watched the cartoon since it first aired. I chuckled all the way to the checkout :lol:

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    Okay, don't jump all over me here, I am just thinking out loud. The owner of my local game store has told me that he is worried that WotC will soon be discontinuing support for the Encounters program in stores. He's going to the convention in a week or so and will know more. It just occurs to...

    More 5E podcasts and articles

    Hey Morrus, Just wanted to tell you that I appreciate the effort of collating all this news about the new D&D edition. It is much easier to check here for new links daily, then go off to do my reading. Thanks.

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    Had a similar thing happen to me. But my buddy made a mistake as years later, he asked me to be the best man at his wedding. At the reception, in front of all of his family, all of the bride's family and assorted other guests, I stood and started off the traditional toast to the new couple...

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    The only way to make this any better would be if WOTC included a vinyl LP soundtrack of bad late 70's music and a note from my teacher to my parents saying that for some reason I have not been paying attention in class recently...

    Minor 5th Edition Updates for Monday, 16 January, 2012

    Ran across a blog post yesterday where someone claimed "Grognard" status because they started playing 2nd edition in the 80's. I thought to myself: "Kid, I have polyhedrons older than you." ;)

    Minor 5th Edition Updates for Monday, 16 January, 2012

    While I am hoping that they can do what they say, I just cannot see how they can accomplish everything that they want in one system. On the other hand, people should take my record as a Game Designer (0 attempts, 0 successes) into account in considering the above. B-)

    Hackmaster Basic vs. Pathfinder Basic

    KJSEvans beat me here! :p

    Coming Soon!

    Grats! Just remember not to confuse video blogging with the written kind. One of them you can do in your underwear, the other not so much.

    Ready for a Pathfinder comic book?

    Not too familiar with Dynamite outside of "The Boys" but I do love that comic! Good news and congrats to Paizo for expanding the brand.

    need a city campaign module, recommendations?

    Agree with all of the suggestions above. You can't go wrong. I have a whole box full of the Thieves Guild/Haven stuff in my basement. Time to dig it out and enjoy it again.

    If Hasbro Pulls the Plug....

    We will continue to play whatever game and whatever version of that game, appeals to us. This is the $54,000 question. It would, presumably, cut loose a number of players who might abandon 4e D&D due to the fact that no new product will be produced. How large that number might be is debatable...

    Dear Mike & Monte

    Been thinking more on this. Not sure this is a fully-formed statement of desire on my part yet, but I've not been able to ignore these notions so I'll toss it out there to be commented up on and/or torn apart. 1.) Take the focus of the game out of the rulebooks and give the game back to the...

    Naval combat for Pathfinder? OOoooo, that could be interesting. I'm keeping my eye open for that one!

    How do I give the Gift of Game?

    A few more ideas: Check with the local game shop and see if they have someone who can run something like D&D Encounters or Pathfinder Society if you were to buy and donate prizes - these could be raffled off or awarded at the end of the game. Might be just the kind of nudge needed to get people...

    The Escapist on D&D Past, Present, and Future

    Agreed, even more so if you consider that borrowing/using a friends book and dice at the game table, which I suspect many did when first getting into this hobby, drops the dollar cost to zero.
