I tried the beta when it was dungeonscape and that certainly did not seem to be working so great. I have no idea what this is supposed to do that is revolutionary, as others have pointed out it seems to be an amalgamation of other digital tools in one. that's fine and all, but I could care less...

While I'm not disputing anything you are saying, that is kind of a 'glass is half empty' take on it. I think it is a significant achievement for them.

I really like the focus on role playing the books are presenting. With the Warlock I like how it says to talk to your DM up front about how big a role you want your patrons relationship to be, so that way you can have as much or little involvement from your patron as you as a player are...

I have run 2 4e campaigns since 4e launched. 1st one ended in early to mid Paragon tier after about 1 to 1 1/2 years. It was mostly completed but a couple from the group moved away. I ran another 4e campaign after that with the same group minus the 2 who were now gone. That game ran for the next...

I wholeheartedly agree! This is the version of D&D I dreamed of, and quite frankly it is really satisfying to see it all come together so wonderfully after what seemed like a long and rigourus play test. I love that I can see elements of all other editions of D&D seamlessly woven in like a...

Hello, I am about to run the first part of Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle this weekend for a new gaming group I've just got together. Not having run it before, I wondered if anyone could give me any tips or advice on running it for the first time? Is there anything I should look out for? As I...

I kinda wondered that same thing myself, especially when you consider the tweet from Trevor at WotC suggesting that there will be some DnD things soon.

Hey! Great to hear you are running this awesome module. I think running a practice run is a great idea, and doing a thorough discussion with the DM's and coordinator is a must to go over any concerns or lay any ground rules. We ran this on Game Day last year and it was one of the best game day...

I also thought MiBG was a nice sort of upgrade from the open structure presented in Against the Cult of Chaos (in the form of a branching path type structure). At the time, that module was a pretty big deal in my opinion as it was the first time 1 table could be on completely different encounter...

That's a lot of great insight into the world of organized play, thanks. I felt with Encounters, WotC really simplified the organized play experience and let the community handle LFR after they stepped away from it. Encounters has been great though in that it doesn't fall victim to the issues...

Yeah Forgotten Realms is the standard base setting for Next and will be the setting they feature by default. It makes sense as FR is a well known brand for them. As a public play setting they have been using it for a while now in Encounters. I imagine if they do resurrect a Living Campaign under...

I know they haven't formally announced anything, but I thought it'd be interesting to speculate. I don't think Encounters is going to be coming to an end (I'm a long time Encounters DM), but I wonder with LFR having its end this year, at least with 4e, will WotC take control over LFR again like...

Don't be so quick to assume Next has failed before its out the gate. Everyone has an opinion or 2 about the playtest to date, however we haven't seen the final product yet. While I can't say for any certainty that the next edition will do any good or push things further apart, no one can say for...

Yeah, I suppose you are right. I was just concerned this will look odd to them to have happened once already and so recently. Ill give it more time though, maybe the other one jut got tied up longer. They were certainly vey good about replacing the last one that was MIA.

Hey everyone, I've been an AP subscriber for the past year or so, as well as the Core RPG books and Tales lines. around October last year they had to make one of my sub shipments in 2 packages (WotR #3, Bestiary 4 and Stalking the Beast). I got the novel, but the box containing the AP and...

I would argue that 3e is not close to becoming the longest in print as PF is not D&D. Although I know it was a spiritual successor to 3.5, after the Core Rulebook paizo made it their own and did their own thing with it. I know alot of people consider PF to be their version of D&D and I'm not...

I know Shatered Star had that as a concept and I was very excited to see it, but didnt think it went far enough. James Jacobs has since stated that was a one time experiment, and that it is one of the least successful AP's (sorry I dont have a cite, it was comments he was making on their...

Sorry, accidental double post.

I have been a realms fan for a very long time, and unlike alot of people here, I have enjoyed the changing nature of the realms and the RSE's. When 4e hit and the Spellplague, I actually really liked it. I thought it took alot of guts to do, and stick with. Obviously in the end it was received...

Hey KJSEvans, Ive been trying to reply to your PM you sent to me, but it says your inbox is full. I was basically saying that I am still interested in the books we talked about and would be happy to pick up where we left off.
