I'm currently running a spelljammer game that features the bastion system, and I think that WotC could use bastions as a second attempt to get ship-to-ship combat right, in either a spelljammer game or something nautical like another GoS. Forge of the Artificer already gave us a little taste of...

"Spelljammer confirmed?" was a meme for a year or so before Spelljammer was, in fact, confirmed; fans were clamoring for it for a short while before being pretty disappointed.

Born to be a Janeway, forced to be an Archer.

I believe they pitched WotC. I think a few other WRPG dev studios like InXile and Beamdog both made pitches to WotC that were rejected.

"Hey DM, it's a three headed monkey!" and then I nudge over one of the die to like a five while they're distracted.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

They used to have huge productions to announce the product slate for next year prior to COVID, things like recreating waterdeep complete with the walking statues. Then after COVID they started doing online D&D directs. I feel we haven't had no knowledge of upcoming releases since like 2017 or...

There are like multiple goddesses of kink in Forgotten Realms. It's kind of baffling that they never retconned the literal BDSM goddess (named after a real Finnish one who had nothing to do with leather) out of the setting with the spellplague.

May I ask how you arrived at the 6/18 figure? I'm honestly a little flabbergasted we're going into 2026 without publicly knowing the available book slate. I'm eager for Dark Sun, but I wonder if it's going to be the tentpole release for the year and it does seem a bit weird to make it the first...

It's been a while since I replayed it, totally forgot. Does it have a smaller part in the plot than NWN? I do vaguely remember seeing an uncanny valley Alagondar model.

To be fair it's not like Baldurs Gate 2 had anything to do with Baldur's Gate. Or Neverwinter Nights 2 having anything to do with Neverwinter. You could call the game Baldur's Gate 4 and set it in Katashaka for all it matters. It's a brand.

The only way I would be comfortable with any of the characters returning is if they either hired their original writers (unlikely- I think they all still work at Larian and it's one of the few places in the games industry with job security, so fat chance poaching them) or maybe hired their...

The 4e enjoyer has logged on! Bring back shardminds and wilden. Plant people and rock people are two very common fantasy staples and they remain unsupported by published 5e content.

IIRC its budget was also inflated by COVID era precautions. Had it been made before the pandemic or a few years after it may have been considered a hit if it would have cost less to produce an otherwise identical film.

The game became sophomoric the second Gary Gygax sat down at the table
