    PDF reader on MS Surface Pro 4?

    I think Drawboard does all three. Bookmarks are on one of the left-hand buttons (the search one?) with a second click on the small tab bar that appears at the top of the sidebar.

    The Return of Volo; Plus An Official D&D Coloring Book

    Yep, it sounds like a really good product, which should be appealing to children (particularly those who are fans of the other Ology books) and encourage them to think about D&D style games. And the books seem to be well illustrated and amusingly written so I'll probably get it for the Realmslore!

    The Return of Volo; Plus An Official D&D Coloring Book

    I don't think it'll be a Volo's Guide in the same way as the old series. The "Ology" series of books are, I guess, aimed at pre-teens with an interest in monstrous/fantasy stories. Here's Amazon's page for the first Dragonology book...

    D&D 5E New Show From WOTC - Dice, Camera, Action!

    By default (I think) Twitch broadcasts are available to rewatch on demand from the Past Broadcasts link on a streamer's profile page. The streamer can delete them (and, perhaps, limit access to paying subscribers etc) but I've been able to watch most WotC videos between broadcast and them being...

    D&D 5E FGG Kickstarter The Blight Richard Pett's Crooked City

    Is this likely to get into distribution to (UK) game stores? I can't afford to risk backing a physical copy without a clear idea of the eventual shipping costs (and probably wouldn't be willing to pay those costs anyway) so I'm in for PDF only. (No real criticism of the project - except that an...

    Adventurers League Adventures Now Available To All

    Yes, but as "D&D Encounters" and "D&D Expeditions" are no longer active names for events, any events in the system created with those names are/will be 'cancelled' (i.e. removed from the website/event reporter) and store organisers will be able to create the generic "D&D" event if they want to -...

    Why Aren't Designers Using The GUMSHOE System?

    I think GUMSHOE, like the various Cortex Plus games, is an interesting development in the game design sphere where influences from narrowly-focused "indie"/story games are being developed into larger and slightly more general games. GUMSHOE can be implemented in different ways, and each contains...

    Fantasy Grounds Now Offers Free Trial; Plus D&D 5E Basic Rules Now Included In All Licenses

    I must admit I was entirely expecting using a touchscreen to be problematic but would never have guessed that clicking two buttons together would be chosen as an interface method, nor, really, that third-button use would be important - plenty of mice don't/haven't had third buttons, surely? Is...

    Fantasy Grounds Now Offers Free Trial; Plus D&D 5E Basic Rules Now Included In All Licenses

    Is there a way to use this feature on a laptop/with a trackpad without physical mouse buttons? More generally, is there a basic introduction to the interface design principles for FG as I've often found myself confused as to how to get it to do what I want - when do I click, when do I drag...

    A Quick Look At EN World's Demographics

    I don't entirely understand Google's analytics, but is the information Google's guesses as to age, gender, etc (based on aggregates of what people of particular ages, genders, income groups etc tend to search for and view on the web) rather than accurate information about each web user? In which...

    What's All This About Third Party 5E Stuff?

    I don't understand this post. Surely the OGL provides a licence for publishers to use to license the copyright in text expressing game rules. There is copyright in that text, even if there isn't copyright in the underlying concept of the rules, and copying that text without a licence - for...

    New Issue of Dragon+

    Following that gets me to a URL for the PDF of the AL adventure: https://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/DDEX32_ShacklesBlood.pdf Thanks!

    D&D 5E [Out of the Abyss]Magic item distribution?

    As I understand it, WotC's store support team doesn't necessarily have the final version of the adventure when it has to send the certs to print, so there are, at various times, items without certs and certs which are pointless (and should be thrown out) as they don't correspond to an item in...

    Philosophical approaches of PFS and Adventurer's League

    Hey CapnZapp - can I point you to the Adventurers League Europe Facebook group? The European Regional Coordinator posts there and would love to try to support AL play in Sweden. There are local groups in various European countries and it'd be great if Sweden was added to the list...

    Hating n-Space so hard right now for their entire community system bahavior

    Have you tried again? I was trying to make an account last night to pre-order and got the same failure message, but it works now. I think (from Twitter) that their account system broke but it's fixed again now!

    Star Wars: Aftermath [novel] + Shattered Empire [comics]

    Regarding the reviews, I'm also seeing some very favourable comments from Star Wars role players I follow on Twitter, if that's a counterpoint. I'm in the same boat as Morrus though, so I can't read it for myself until next week. I think most of the one-star Amazon reviews are from people who...

    Darkmagic vs. Do'Urden - Watch Friday's Night's Acquisition's, Inc. Game!

    It's got the animated recap, from a 15s preview. Plus it's on WotC's channel, uploaded by them, rather than by someone who copied it from the PAX stream somehow and uploaded it to his own unofficial channel. I can understand why WotC would want people visiting their YouTube channel to watch...

    Darkmagic vs. Do'Urden - Watch Friday's Night's Acquisition's, Inc. Game!

    I think this should work as a link to the archive on the PAX Twitch channel: http://www.twitch.tv/pax/v/13339844 - it includes the Rage of Demons trailer and the animated recap, which wasn't on the video some third party uploaded to YouTube. Things start about 40 minutes in, I seem to recall...

    Chris Perkins' Io9 Interview: Art & A Bit Of Plot (Big Spoilers!)

    Preferred stores are ones which have a particular level of status gained by running organised Magic and D&D events. You can find details on the Wizards Play Network pages on the WotC site.
