    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    I'm just being charitable, that maybe if they'd had to make it a whole thing on its own, that it would have come together better.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    Maybe. Seems unlikely to me that they'd skip a D&D book at this point, though. Heck, why not both? Honestly, I think it's strange that they aren't better at product "synergy". I mean, I get that video games take extremely longer than TTRPG production. But, so? Wait until the game is in its...

    That sounds interesting. Share when you have a working draft!

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    Yeah! I'd be happy with a "change notes" - style conversation, even if it includes a bit of "I liked (this) about the old version better". I'd just rather not see people poo-pooing all over it.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    I think Dragonlance was more "meh" than bad - I still think that they'd be far better off just updating the original, rather than doing sequels or side-stories. Spelljammer had some small parts that were fine, but overall, it was quite bad. But I still think that their worst mistake was...

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    There's still folks on this forum arguing that Dark Sun will Never Happen. I mean, I understand why they formed that thought - but we've been faced with what I would call "Overwhelming Evidence" that it is happening. And sooner rather than later. Personally, I don't care what they change, as...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I don't disagree with you, either on history, nor on your character choices. However, I often find that PCs are quick to judge NPCs as "bad" and themselves as "good" (or righteous at least) when it is often more... mixed.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Caves Valendra sneered, "With your deplorable violence toward the Houndmaster, I had thought you Bhaalites, come to retake your temple. I surrendered when I realized that you were Adventurers, but I see that makes you little better. I should have known." She considered her slim options...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    People do all sorts of horrible things, historically. Doesn't make it right. And there were always rules about it. Sometimes those rules got ignored. I feel like the game has a system for this sort of thing? (A system that's a bit weak for how complicated humans actually are, but works as a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Circle Casting is gonna break a lot of games

    Yeah, I think the easiest "fix" is to simply make it so that all secondary casters need to be able to cast the given spell. Heck, then you wouldn't need to limit it to the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, and you'd be able to help with spells attained through other means (species and feats...

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    Physical is still a massive chunk, though. Even if it were down to a small percent, and I doubt that it is, you don't cut a chunk of your income for no gain. You figure out what to replace it with (other than "Moar Digital!" - because you can attempt that without ditching print) and I will...

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    I honestly don't mean to be confrontational when I say this (just conversational, though I admit, there is a small aspect of suspicion. I just can't think of a way to ask this in a less... pointed fashion): When you're proved wrong, are you going to post a mea culpa, or just move on to a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's dream up new FR-style books for other Settings.

    I mean, they could, sure. But IMO, they shouldn't. Or if they do, it should be for a limited release Christmas Bundle or something. Only if it had a lot of battle-maps, monster tokens, spell cards, & item cards! Better yet, they should make that boxed set as a third product!

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    IDK if I'd call them allies. Guldred was, but he has his hands full just trying to reintegrate into his tribe. Wait - what long rest? Do you mean short rest? Or have I forgotten something? I appreciate you trying to line stuff up. Remember, though that we don't have to make the time-stamps...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    The Beast has that name because he's a terrible person with a terrible reputation, even among other mercenary companies. Yes, a lot of his recruits are made up of ruffians and criminals. However, they also bully hapless folk into joining under duress. I wouldn't paint them all with the same...
