    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    There's been a lot of cool developments in the Realms since the 1360s . . . I'd simply reboot, reinvent, or reimagine the Realms and start fresh. Kinda like what they actually did with 5E, although that was all within the timeline. I'd simply say, here is the NEW Forgotten Realms . . . The...

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    That video annoyed the heck out of me, although I wonder if Greenwood's comments were taken out of context. Is Greenwood really irritated over these "mistakes", or was he just being nerdy and pointing out the inconsistencies? Nothing in the video complained about rose to the level of "lazy...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    Did Goodman resolve the issue and did you get what you ordered? Shipping and packing issues happen, unfortunately. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Goodman's customer service rep, but it seems like the company pledged to resolve things based on the comments linked by @Distracted DM...

    Dungeons & Dragons Teams Up With New Holland For New Beer

    Nope. Some of those kids have grown up and are now proper old people. Who drink beer. I'm all for it, although stouts are not my drink of choice . . . but I'd give it a go if one of my play group bought a round!

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    I'm reposting info from earlier in this thread and others, but trying to bring pricing all together into one post . . . Heroes of Faerun Physical: $49.99 Digital: $29.99 ($25.49 with Legendary Bundle discount) Physical/Digital Bundle: $59.99 Adventures in Faerun Physical: $59.99 Digital...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    I'm not sure if I responded to you on this thread or the other one . . . but I think I said earlier, "they are free, with the bundle" . . . but now I realize I was incorrect. I got a little obsessed tonight (instead of going to bed) and did the math . . . The "Dallabad Oasis" (an animated...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    It looks like the digital "Heroes of Faerun" is $30 and "Adventures in Faerun" is $40 digital . . . so the two together should be $70 or less. $127?!?!?! So, we're paying $57 for the 3 DLC, the digital map of Faerun, a digital dice set, and the BG3 digital map pack. Wow. I'm hoping that pricing...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    THANKS! I was having a hell of a time finding that on the DDB website!!! EDIT: But . . . WOW. $127 for both digital books? And the info on the page implies the DLC bonuses (other than the animated map) only come with the "Ultimate" print/digital bundle . . . although I know it's been reported...

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    Well, it was only a few folks going on about that stuff . . . but yeah, that was weird.

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    Everyone? Nah. Unless we're hanging out in different threads . . . And there has been a lot of speculation about what they would contain, including speculation on player options, more campaign frames, and adventures. Which is pretty much what we are getting. And they ARE free . . . if you...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    Link? As stated in the OP, all I can find is the "Ultimate" print/digital bundle. I cannot find a digital only bundle at all.

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternate Covers of Upcoming Forgotten Realms Books Revealed

    The two boxes in the picture are the Heroes of the Borderlands starter set on the table, and the D&D Horrified board game on the chair.

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    If the DLC is only available as part of the print/digital bundle . . . that's going to upset me. I would like to get the special edition covers of these two books at my FLGS and then pick up the digital copies on D&D Beyond.

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    You are engaging with posters who do not argue in good faith (or good sense) . . . an exercise in frustration.

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanthian pun-spells

    Like other artists . . . we have learned that Piers Anthony is a rather problematic individual. And when you go back and re-read the Xanth books and others by Anthony, you can't help but see some really uncomfortable stuff. Give it a Google . . . or better yet, don't.
