Speaking of which, I feel sad either way, but what really baffles me is that they're walking away from Eberron print publications/large projects after the Frontiers book. He sounded particularly excited about continuing to explore that brand new corner, and it already got some buzz, so if it...

TSR have certainly claimed the rights to those two words in the past, but frivolously so. I'm 99% sure that the OGL included them and not just their more generic names dark elf and gray dwarf (which I actually prefer) because WotC knew they had no leg to stand on, cf. renamed spells. drow is a...

training/sparring area(s) food storage (cellar) firewood storage tool storage with some planks and nails possibly a dedicated infirmary if it fits culturally, a steamroom or sauna and having your own well would be great

One thing to note IMNSHO is that while "Dungeons & Dragons" works fine for any sort of game, it's a bad fit for any film that is more serious than The Princess Bride. If it is to be more in the vein of The Lord of the Rings, the format ought to be "[setting name]: [epic title]" with a smaller...

Out of curiosity, they've said that Tarkir (MTG) would get mentioned in the book. Not in any major way, since it's a setting-neutral D&D book, after all, but it sounded like more than just a namedrop, so...? And since we're on the topic of D&D dragons, two to three things have always bothered...

I very much agree with both. (And ideally to me the possible max scores would be 18/20/22/24, but that's a minor point.) Problem is, I don't see the two camps that really complained being in favor of these. WotC actively went away from racial max scores (in addition to starting modifiers)...

Eberron. Because Eberron, duh. Seriously, though, it's executed really well. That said, the MTG ones are great, too.

Those action variants strike me as not really keeping their audience in mind, as does the notion of using another system.

I'm sure WotC would love to give it some official D&D branding. Either way, I'd be immensely surprised if it doesn't end up a 5e CRPG. Only other options I could see having a realistic chance are a visual novel or a gamebook-esque text RPG, but that's probably too low-budget for them (and...

My two top favorite archetypes are arcane nimmer and divine fighter, which primarily translate to Arcane Trickster and Paladin, both 3.x and 5.x, although it really doesn't have to be these exact classes (e.g. Bard and Rage Prophet are nice, too, and may work better thematically at times, which...

While you do have a point, your example actually works against it, as "Nintendo" had been what everyone was automatically thinking of before they gave birth to the first rival to ever crush them. (Don't know which, if any, predecessor in turn had similarly penetrated the collective conscience...

A year ago the 3rd Dragon Age box cost USD 20 to (handle and) ship to Europe, and lots of places (e.g. Hero Forge) use a standard rate of USD 15, but now Green Ronin wants to practically bleed me dry paying almost twice the cost of the Fantasy Age hardcover in extravagant shipping (and...
