    D&D 5E I think WotC has it backwards (re: story arcs)

    Given that a lot of people who want additional books are also saying 'I don't buy AP's' aren't they separate revenue streams? Also If I was (and this is just me) going to surprise people with a product at GenCon, it wouldn't mean the product is available right away. It'd just mean I could go...

    D&D 5E Crystal Ball: A year in, how do you think 5E will unfold going forward?

    I'd agree with this assessment. I've run games in store for a while now and my players were of a younger generation than I was. They came to play after learning from some girl/guy they played computer games with. I've recently started working at an FE college (16-18) and in the first month I...

    D&D 5E I think WotC has it backwards (re: story arcs)

    Man, I have no idea what the passwords are. I'd love that stuff. No idea why they keep it for AL only - they should lat least make it available after the season.

    D&D 5E I think WotC has it backwards (re: story arcs)

    I tend to agree with this on the marketing front, I just was just giving examples of secretness that has happened that wouldn't have happened before. But If they announced say a forgotten realms book tomorrow, I don't think people would forget it existed because of rage of driz'zit.

    D&D 5E Crystal Ball: A year in, how do you think 5E will unfold going forward?

    In my experience, it's the DM's who buy 90% of the books anyhow.

    D&D 5E I think WotC has it backwards (re: story arcs)

    Not at Gen Con specifically but they're being a lot more secretive with releases, so it's possible - For Out Of The Abyss, we found out quite late in the day and Dragon+ & Fantasy ground we got an announcement day of release. Plus, this is a thing all the cool kids are doing.

    D&D 5E Crystal Ball: A year in, how do you think 5E will unfold going forward?

    Just two predictions: 1) When the Dragonlance AP comes out some time in 2020, Margret Weis's Productions will be the group writing it. 2) Eventually those people who keep saying the release schedule isn't working for them will either stop buying D&D, lose interest in commenting and posting the...

    Why Is Chris Perkins Tweeting Page Snippets Of Mongrelfolk?

    Anybody else think that the 'Alice in wonderland' spark might be an underdark 'down the rabbithole' adventure? The Sword Coast Legend drow mage and mongrelfolk would both fit in that.

    AMA (Tuesday noon, April 28): Mike Selinker, your 2015 ENnie Awards host, ex-D&D creative director, and creator of the RPG/card game hybrid Apocrypha

    Hey Mike, just want to thank you for your part in delivering the Marvel game to my door.It was my introduction to DM-ing supers games and I've never really looked back - I was addicted to it, I think I converted something like 800 marvel characters to the game for use as PC/NPCs and ended up...

    Appalachian Themed RPG Setting

    I'd also suggest Rage Across Appalachia for werewolf the apocalypse for a modern take (not that I know it's accuracy as I'm english) as well as 'kingdom of the willows' for changeling the dreaming. While it's got lots to do with atlanta, it is about southern gothic as a whole.

    Troublesome player/character

    Greenfield, why are you doing so much work to turn him into a good player? Is it that important to you to transform this guy? Because he's got too separate instances (taking two domains/making up heroforge numbers) of cheating. That's pretty bad. I think, I I don't mean this to be insulting...

    Princes of the Apocalypse Basic Rules Supplement

    I think it's wrong. **SORT OF SPOILERS BUT VAGUE** There's a adult bronze dragon mentioned - I can't find one in the Adventure, yet another colour of dragon is missing...Also is there a living purple worm anywhere in the dungeon?

    Did You Know SIRI Could Roll Dice?

    Just sitting with the wife trying it out. It rolls d3 & d100 too... But when we asked it for a d1000, it showed us a list of bakeries, so it's probably doesn't go that high.
