Warriors of Waterdeep: New Free to Play D&D Mobile Game Coming Soon

Once again instead of making a really good CRPG based on 5th edition, they do a gimmicky game trying to cash in on a fad for a quick buck.

Meanwhile Pathfinder: Kingmaker seems really awesome, aka the model for gaming that WotC should have been looking at.

Not at all what they said in the press release. The quote is "The game follows a plot that runs in parallel with the established 5th edition storylines, but does not cross over directly..."

That does not make it "explicitly separate," all that means is they are not going to shoehorn in whatever villain and plot are in the next book. Doesn't mean they cannot operate in the same space, and the implication that the game runs parallel seems to indicate they will occassionally take place in the same places. Nothing here disporves the assumption that Waterdeep and Undermountain are next, and I still believe that come June that will be the products announced.

Doubtful, but we'll see.
