D&D 5E BoardGameGeek at a 5e Seminar

[thalmin]

Easy to spot, I held the box. (not for the picture)

 

[Thaumaturge]

Sorry, I left the bit about the box out. I thought we already knew that.

Maybe I just wanted to believe hard enough that I imagined it to be true.

Thaumaturge.

So what were Mearls and Pundit talking about? Not some online-accessible rules. This isn't bad news, but it's hardly mind-blowing. I think there's still another shoe to drop.

When asked about the Character Gen, Chris said it will be left on their site as long as people continue to use it for 4e characters.It is complete as is. He would not say what they have coming yet for 5E.
After the beating they took over the delay of the 4E software, I doubt they will say anything until the 5E stuff is finished and launching.

An app?

I still remember watching their 3d VTT crash, and crash again, at D&D XP all those years ago.

*fist pump*

Awesome! A new expansion for Lords of Waterdeep!

*looks around self-consciously*

...What?

That is good news. I think. The game got better, but a bit fiddly, with the 1st expansion.

I could do without Undermountain, honestly, but I really enjoy Skullport.

I just don't like how set up and take down has become a hassle with having to keep all the expansion bits separate from each other and from the main set. The game, however, is greatly improved by it.

Thanks for braving the wilds of twitter to bring this back for us

Ok, guys. 15% of the PHB free on the WotC site. That's pretty cool. Right?

It's a heck of a lot better than we had yesterday, that's for sure.

That said, I'm holding my applause for the exciting thing that Mike Mearls and RPGPundit were talking about that apparently isn't just downloadable character creation rules.

Cheers!
