I don't care what the creator has said, about whom. As long as the game is good I'll buy it. I think people need to learn how to separate the art from the artist. Its a pretty simple concept. Get over yourself. Lots of people in hollywood rape children- are you going to stop watching movies?
Sounds like a substantial issue... sometimes Dragon+ is full of useless junk but apparently not this time. And the lesson that I've learned watching D&D streams?
I'd rather play than watch!
Mearls sounds like he is gatekeeping a bit himself. How is he going to go about "firing" players? How about, just be civil and don't be a jerk to ANYONE at your table. He doesn't have to make it into some noble social crusade- who's he trying to impress?
I play maybe a few times a month at the local store... its mostly a fun experience. Most everyone is welcoming and nice, the people who run it are great. You do run into some colorful characters every now and then.
I don't mind either but I'm voting minis.. For some games TOTM is more appropriate, like Star Wars for FFG. I'm in a group that's been playing SW for about six months and not once have we had a need for minis. D&D 5th on the other hand, I prefer minis, just for combat.
Not quite sure what to think yet... the fact that attending conventions is required to rise in position is lame. Some kind of way to drum up ticket sales for cons? Baldman: "We'll make you guys some money!"
Hi there, I'm somewhat new. I've played the AL adventures to DEATH with multiple characters and was hoping for something new. Now, I know that MIBG, the Icewind Dale one, etc were written with 3.5/4th/Next playtest in mind, including stats for all 3 versions. Now I've never played the D&D Next...
