They sold their most popular book since the core books this year. And their core books, at least on Amazon, show no signs of slowing down. I play the game with high school students where I teach. The majority fit somewhere in the LGBTQI demographic. Of all my gaming groups, it’s about 45% male...

Yes, but when do we get a baby snow owlbear plushie?

Very thought-provoking article. Thank you. I suppose the risk and chance of the game make it exciting and that’s why players often choose dice rolls over caution. The stakes are fairly low. A character is essentially a sheet of paper and an idea. A character dies, you roll up a new one. The...

Something I'd like to try... Start with a fantasy world map not attached to any particular publications. They're easy to find online. Tell my players the basic style and theme. For example, this is a good vs. evil story about a destructive organization taking down the royal leadership of a...

Can third parties publish Theros material on DM's Guild now, or was this a special arrangement?

You could always have the players come up with their own gods and then adapt your campaign world accordingly.

I’m not sure where this is going. Your original statement was that all the hardcover books start out in the Forgotten Realms, which is technically not true. We can argue about whether books “count” or not, but the fact remains that Ghosts of Saltmarsh is rooted in Greyhawk. It uses Greyhawk...

It’s unfortunate that the bestselling Wildemount, by your criteria, does not count as a setting book.

As a DM, I can do anything, but publishers have certain obligations. The setting is so tied to the novels, it's hard to separate them. They could set it near the beginning of the Chronicles timeline, but then there's no healing. They could set it later, but then you have a history intimately...

I feel that Dragonlance suffers from the main story. Who wants to feel subordinate to the “big heroes,” who essentially already predetermine the fate of the world? Middle-earth kind of suffers from the same thing. The original DL adventures were problematic even when they were published. I...

Lol, haven't read it. I'm guessing Lolth and Menzoberranzan make an appearance? Nevermind then. :giggle: I just wanted to throw something out there besides Dragonlance, Dark Sun, and Planescape. New prediction: Dragonlance or Dark Sun

I’m gonna go with a Lolth and Menzoberranzan inspired adventure and setting book.

This. I read the article thinking who am I to disagree with such a prominent figure in the roleplaying community, but I totally disagree with some of the arguments. I think story and character are paramount, not some dedication to a setting. If I want to blow up the Realms at the start or middle...

The alternate cover for Eberron was a no brainer for me. It evoked the setting far more than the regular cover. But with this one I like regular more. The alternate cover seems kinda weird.

I must admit, I have a hard time getting into Critical Role and this was a bit of a disappointing announcement. I've tried watching season 2 and don't really get past the first couple episodes. I'm not saying this to be a negative ninny. I have no grudges. WotC needs to sell to their...
