    It's back! Nightfall's "Ask the Sage" Scarred Lands Q&A

    Nightfall, Is there a good repository of fan created material for the scarred lands? I've been to scarn.com. but there's not much there. For a major setting, there is surprisingly little fan material on the web. I'm thinking there was more when the setting was "hot" but most of that is now...

    Sell me on Bard's Gate

    Elijah Snow, I'm reading through it now and the city really does feel like a first edition city, with all the associated warts. I also love city books and own quite a few across a number of different settings. Bard's Gate has nothing new, no interesting hook, no unique big bad character...

    Is WOTC falling into a problem like the old TSR did

    While I'm not a fan of rules bloat and I far, far prefer fluff over crunch, it's unfortunately true that crunch is what keeps the industry alive. A shrinking industry is bad for everyone, fans and companies. Less profit means there's less incentive for new companies with fresh ideas to form...
