But you know why they might be so desperate about their flagship setting? -YRUSirius

Yeah, I like reboots, even if they are soft reboots. It's just a fantasy world afterall. -YRUSirius

Should they try and rummage through the 4E FR to find something popular to promote their new old realms? :) With all that talk about Bhaal they even reference the very popular 1E Grey Box. It's a super nice nod to the old school realms. And it's even niftier that Baldur's Gate is such a highly...

Read the "Murdering in Baldur's Gate" documents in the new playtest package. -YRUSirius

Yes, they should have. But they didn't. And that's a shame. That's the reason why I think it's so cool that they rectify their missed chance and that they capitalize on that right now. They bring out the heavy hitters to show the pen and paper newbie where the cool setting from that cool game...

The Sundering adventures are to the Forgotten Realms what the D&D Next Playtest is to D&D. It's part promotion, part user generated content. The results of the Sundering adventures will develope how the new (old) realms might look: And I'm pretty sure I read that the FR will be the default...

So you want a computer game programmed by Ed Greenwood et.? Nice. :) -YRUSirius

TSR/WotC licensed their products (the D&D rules and the Forgotten Realms setting) to Bioware, so Bioware could use WotC's successful products to promote and sell their own. Now WotC is using their OWN products (The IP of Baldur's Gate is theirs) to promote and sell their own products. If you...

It was TSR's own friggin rulessystem and setting, how much more can you contribute? -YRUSirius

The D&D game and the Forgotten Realms setting obviously had a big influence on the developers of Baldur's Gate. They were inspired by it, so they were directly inspired by TSR/WotC. There's somewhere a quote about it on the internet, how they were all big D&D and realms fans etc. The game is...

Anyone else noticed that some of the NPCs in the newest Against the Slave Lords Bestiary (like some of the half-orcs) have no skills but 'Expertise' in certain fields? This is the easy skill simplification Mearls talked about. Characters with a certain Expertise get a +1d6 or +1d8 to some...

The D&D team does it well. "00 Read First.pdf" -YRUSirius

I think that the new basic D&D might still be perfect for you and for people who feel the same about this. Just a good roleplaying game. :) -YRUSirius

Yeah, just strengthen the healer's kit. Every other game has some kind of mundane healing potion or healing herb everyone can use. Why not D&D? -YRUSirius

Just create a deity called "The Neutrality" or whatever and design it. Done. :) -YRUSirius

I like your Exploit feature, Kaodi. Should work for the Basic game too. -YRUSirius

Why is MAD a problem for 5E? -YRUSirius

I'm sorry, but don't use that awful mother-may-I expression. You can work with your DM to improvise your action. He is NOT your antagonist. Btw there are no rules for breathing either. That doesn't mean that a fighter can't breathe without asking the DM. Some things SHOULD be ruled and worked...

Only if I want to emulate the 4E warlord but improvise actions would not be useless if I wanted to do something effective with my fighter other than doing damage. Creativity. -YRUSirius

Hm, I don't see that. A fighter prolly has good strength so he can do improvised actions that contest his opponents attributes, like a push. A warrior without weapons has a better chance to push a goblin into lava than a weak wizard without spells. But let's try to go back to favorite...
