I think it might be changing—a bit. Honestly I’m not sure they have much choice at this point: with BG3 taking place after Descent into Avernus, and with the setup of DoA positing that a region-shaking event has transpired, I can’t imagine how to make a Baldur’s Gate gazetteer without first...

1. High-magic, versatile setting (there is no single “high concept”) with very deep bench of supplements to draw from. 2. Everything is in, but I don’t sweat it. That is, I don’t change lore on purpose but don’t usually spend too much time fact-checking myself or “undoing” discrepancies from...

I find a few short bits of it very funny, but much more than half the ostensibly comedic material doesn't land a muted chuckle. In its essence, I feel, Strangelove isn't even a comedy—it's a satire, and while there's a big Venn overlap between those categories, they are essentially unrelated...

I used to think FMJ's structure was such a flaw that the movie would probably work better if the two halves were simply flipped, and I even watched it that way once, starting with "These Boots Are Made For Walking" and watching the boot camp half of the film after "Mickey Mouse." It did work...

Jokes aside, Francesco Nepitello mentioned in a recent interview that they will be announcing the next release for The One Ring at GenCon.

Is a DR year given?

Phil Walker-Harding is one of the best lightweight board game designers working today. Sushi Go, Imhotep, Bärenpark, and Super Mega Lucky Box are all superb.

This one, at least, has an obvious answer: Arphy saw it in the bowling ball. In Season 3 Grandelf visits the Mistless Vale and meets a lisping elf who proclaims “Stranger, there’re no mithth ‘round ‘ere”

You knew Christopher Tolkien? Cool!

The ent and entwife were voiced by recognizable British actors—Jim Broadbent and Olivia Williams—but neither of them is Cate Blanchett (though I’m sure that, like all rational beings, they’d love to be). Nevertheless, when in doubt, always assume it’s no accident whenever this show compulsively...

Why? Are things not well at WotC? What have you heard? Oh wow, now Morrus has confirmed it! Revered RPG industry news publisher ENWorld has gone on the record confirming Charlaquin’s reporting that things are not well at WotC! Tell all your friends!

My math makes it 3x5x?, where ? is a value between 0 and 1 inclusive, because this interview is full of so many lies and half-truths that who knows whether he’s being truthful here.

Since there seem to be a lot of big DL fans in this thread, here’s a question for you: I’ve never read any DL novels. I was given the first Destinies book recently as a gift, but I know it’s not the best place to jump on board the series. For years I have had the inclination to read the...

“Our Comics Can’t Be Beaten!”™

I’ve been known to pay Mike Schley directly for digital battle map images from WotC books and then order them printed on huge vinyl sheets (“banner signs”) from Vistaprint. That’s not cheap either, but it really enhances the play experience, so it’s worth it to me. B&G’s campaign boxes, some of...
