    D&D 5E New Legend and Lore is up! Magic Systems as DM Modules

    I'm with pemerton on this one. It sounds like poor DM'ing, which is exactly why there needs to be a larger emphasis on training DMs.

    Review of Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue by Wizards of the Coast

    I have no clue. That's a question for WotC's business unit.

    Official D&D names to avoid for published eBook

    TL:DR You really need to contant an attorney for questions like this.

    Review of Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue by Wizards of the Coast

    I'm not impartial at all (contributed a little to the book, my older brother was the lead designer, and I designed the drow treachery cards) but I think this book will be of value to anyone that wants to revisit Menzoberranzan. After all is said and done, WotC is trying to earn money. If 4e...

    Elminster? Really? Why is he so popular?

    Elminster sells. We can argue about anything and everything inbetween, but the fact remains that there is a large segement of the FR readership that enjoys him and pays money to read about his adventures and exploits. I think part of the reason that he sells is because he isn't a cut and paste...

    Thank you EN World

    I just got back from Gen Con and wanted to give a huge thanks to EN World and fans for generously awarding the Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale with a Silver ENnie. This community has been a very crucial part of my development as a game designer, and I have always cherished the honest...

    D&D's Mike Schley at GenCon 2012‏

    I always ask for Mike Schley on articles I write. Hands-down my favorite cartographer.

    D&D 5E I Don't Like Damage On A Miss

    You know, this whole thread would be valuable if the game were published and in our hands. Get involved and submit feedback.

    D&D 5E Protection from Chaos Part XI: The D&D Next Online Playtest Agreement

    Interesting Tweet. When did this thread turn into a controversy?

    D&D 5E Protection from Chaos Part XI: The D&D Next Online Playtest Agreement

    Contract law is his specialty. I'm not sure he is trying to be definitive in his analysis, but is presenting his opinion, married with his experience, as it relates to US law.

    D&D 5E Protection from Chaos Part XI: The D&D Next Online Playtest Agreement

    Well, it's weird because the assumption is that in an open playtest, people would talk about it. Either way, the actual R&D staff are very open about letting people get excited about the game. They are no doubt getting a ton of critical feedback about the game system. Can you imagine if this...

    D&D 5E Protection from Chaos Part XI: The D&D Next Online Playtest Agreement

    My attorney, and fellow super-geek, has put up a new article as it pertains to the D&D Next Online Playtest agreement. It's a very good read and probably one of his best articles. As he specializes in intellectual property, copyrights, patents, trademarks, and the like, it is pretty well...

    Into the Unknown

    The Menzo book is a separate suppliment and was worked on well after Into The Unknown :p We worked on Into the Unknown with a good group that just wanted to do a neat Dungeon Survival book for 4e.

    Something to remember tomorrow

    If I were a betting-man (and I am), I would say 5e will be released on the 40th Anniversary of the game in January of 2014.

    1" Grid Postermaps

    You can go to Staples or Office Depot and pick up presentation/easel paper that has 1" squares. It's not unlike Gaming Paper.

    D&D 5E Do we really need D&D:Next to be the One Edition?

    Someone save this thread. It was the first shot fired in the next edition war. Thanks Tony. :hmm:
