If you backed Flee Mortals you got the PDF of Where Evil Lives. The later Backerkit campaign was for hardcovers of the lair book.

More from the MCDM subreddit... Someone else over there said they got to do a playtest in November and has answered a few questions in the comments.

Big points to Robin of Sherwood (1984) for portraying King Richard (played by John Rhys Davies) as a total bastard.

They also have a boardgame in the works called  Derelict which sounds a bit Space-Hulkey. Not sure how far along that is, but I think that's Matt's new design project whilst Intracaso works on Crows.

Matt Colville chimed in on the MCDM SubReddit No real details yet, but will keep an eye on it.

It actually, literally, meant a "Grumbler" and was supposedly a nickname bestowed upon the Imperial Grenadiers by Napoleon himself because they never stopped complaining. The name stuck around - there is a character in The Count of Monte Cristo (1846), a former Grognard, who lets everyone know...

I've never played 2nd Edition (outside of far too many hours with the Baldurs Gate video games) but I have collected and devoured a lot of the books (AD&D 1 also) which I let inform most of my 5e games. I'd love to play AD&D 2, but my current group can just about manage 5th Edition and dumping...

Well that sentence is a humdinger - who trusts Hasbro/WotC to exercise this in good faith? I think we need some Zaporozhian Cossacks up in here to draft a response. 😆

Make Greyhawk the default setting again! Then probably piss off all the Greyhawk fans by making sweeping poorly thought out changes to the lore!

These Feedback Surveys are going to be a hot mess of leading questions with limited responses Hasbro can use to attempt to justify doing whatever they want. Probably even cherry pick the surveys that gave the "correct" answers. It's going to be an absolute car crash and I can't wait to read it!

So in this analogy is Prime OGL 1, Megatron OGL 1.0a both of whom destroy each other before a planet devouring monster (Unicron/Hasbro) upgrades the OGL to 2.0 (Galvatron!)? Does that mean 3rd party publishers are Hot Rod? o.0 Who's Mike Mearls and how do the Sharkticons fit in?

Last one I DMed was Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I didn't think it was great. DnD is 85% rules for fighting and in making a mostly non-fighty adventure, all the way through it felt like we should be using a different ruleset to play the adventure - Call of Cthulhu or something! :lol: Last WotC...

D&D died when they stopped including Parasitic Infestation tables in the DMG!

I'm sure Hasbro are looking at ChatGPT very closely. Their supposed plans for AI-DMs aside, some soulless exec is undoubtedly considering the savings of AI generated adventures and artwork - quality of output be damned.

Wow. $30 a month to roll dice with a chatbot? Why not just make a video game and be done?
