That's kind of what the new PR person was trying to do, but with a "non-apology apology". And honestly, it was kind of working. It was falling off of everyone's radar, and there was nothing to fight with them about any more, and another month or two and everyone would have forgotten about it and...

Lol, and they didn't even bother to get a proper SSL cert. They're using a self-signed cert, so most browsers are going to push you away from their site. LaNasa and crew are just a bunch of clowns.

The whole point of a work of writing is to have a message. The question isn't whether it had a message, as that is the intent of writing and communications. We read a work to take in it's primary message, but assenting to the primary message isn't inherently assent or agreement with any...

I DMed it a few times. A friend of mine had a copy his brother left behind when he went off to college, and we used it to run the 1e Forgotten Realms box that I had gotten for Christmas until we could save up to buy the 2e phb It was a fine little game. Though I didn't have much to compare it...

I tend to agree that Psionics could just as easily be a "form" of magic, and the psionic "disciplines" as just a different way of looking at the schools of magic. Having a list of spells tagged as "psionic" and just create a wizard subclass that interacts specially with those psionic spells...

I'd like to see the Drow pantheon expanded beyond just "There's a bunch of gods who are all subservient to Lolth, and then Elistrae, who is a rebel". Lolth worshippers get a lot of exposure because Drizz't, but from a lot of previous lore, there were plenty of Drow cities where Lolth worship...

*shrug* the play test and it's relationship to the mechanics of CoD is diverging pretty far from the original topic, but using two terms that were used in CoD, but implementing them differently isn't really using significant parts of the CoD rules imho. And the Gen Con alpha test with the return...

They did announce that it would expand to the other White Wolf games and Minds Eye Theater (Currently published by "By Night Studios" iirc), but no mention of whether the Onyx Path stuff would be coming on board soon...

That wasn't my impression at all from the playtest material that I read. The setting is pretty much whole-hog old school V:tM, and the rules are not the same as either CoD or classic WoD 1e/2e/3e. As a fan of the CoD setting, there's not much in 5e that looks appealing. Of course, there's a...

I don't think in terms of encounters, I think in terms of obstacles. A particular obstacle may be ridiculously easy to overcome with a bribe, but incredibly difficult with combat. Neither of those are necessarily the "right" way of overcoming the obstacle, but both are options. Sent from my...

In my mind, 5e priests are by default "Specialty Priests". It would be interesting to see someone do up a generalist priest for 5e though, that wasn't bound to domains for their powers.

Well, that could be because you haven't released anything for those other settings, or it could be because there's no interest in those settings. It's kind of a chicken and the egg problem isn't it?

In my mind, Cormyr belongs in a book with Sembia, Shadowdale and Zhentil Keep, and I'd love to see that same book include a redo of pirates on the sea of fallen stars.

Well, actually this is a Green Ronin partnership, according to the announcement.

I don't mind having a bit more "focus" in the campaign settings instead of trying to document the piles and piles of Realms lore in one big huge hardcover. Just covering Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate, and the rest of the Sword Coast is better than trying to wedge in all the lore around Anauroch...

It depends on the combat I would say that 80-90% of the combats we run without minis, just describing it. Probably about one combat per session gets the "Tactical" treatment with minis on the map.

I believe they're written by AL members, not the WotC staff writers and contractors like the published modules, so there might be a quality gradient that they're concerned about. I haven't actually read any of them so I could be entirely wrong though. Also, if you want access to them without...

I don't think that matters in the long run. Basically there's a certain number of RPG players. Just on a rough estimate, I'd say that somewhere between 1/3 and 1/5 play Dungeons and Dragons exclusively. Of those who play D&D exclusively, I'd say that probably 1/3 to 2/3 of them play AL...

I like the general trend that seems to be happening: 2 major adventure paths per year for pay, and free rules supplements to go along with the adventures. I *would*like to see them add one new campaign world a year, with a core settings book, and an adventure for it at the beginning of the...

I see AL as basically a recruiting tool for real (non AL) games. It does provide a way to find a group you are interested in gaming with, and does give stores a tool to encourage people to pick up D&D. I don't see it as a long term solution to the "I want to play a Roleplaying Game" problem.
