    D&D 4E WotC, DDI, 4E, and Hasbro: Some History

    $30 mil just on TRPGs? no, not is in this day and age. But if you factor in miniatures, board games, novels, epub, distribution/ecom (like what Paizo does), video games, and other licensed products based on your TRPG property then you might have a chance at $30mm. Video games could push you...

    PAX Prime - Roll Call

    The Acquisitions Inc line will be REALLY LONG so start queuing early, or better yet have the your players "win" the opportunity to sit in line for the rest of the party bast on something fun like worst attack roll, lowest initiative, friendly fire, etc

    D&D digital licensing rights lawsuit settled

    Two words Planescape Torment This alone is worth getting the rights back.

    D&D digital licensing rights lawsuit settled

    I totally agree. Bioware and the rest of the industry have largely moved on (Dragon Age, Oblivion, Crimson Alliance etc) but at least now the possibility is there. At this point, I suspect the biggest opportunity for D&D is in social games. Some will shudder at the thought but if done well it...

    D&D digital licensing rights lawsuit settled

    This is HUGE and opens the door for a) D&D to make good video games with capable developers/publishers eg Bioware/EA (hello Dragon Age or KoTR) b) WotC to have a larger cash flow that allows for better funding of PnP products and DDi. This is key to priming the pump with source material to...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder figures to replace DDM figures!!!!

    Because they are made by WizKids the minis could use the click base. This would be a very elegant way to track various conditions for each character as there would be no longer a need for using separate markers. The picture in the news post does not show this which would be a lost opportunity IMO.

    AMpersand #400 Bill S leaving WotC (and others?)

    I don't have any insight and I don't want to guess, that just drives more speculation like "oh noes they're selling D&D" Having gone through this myself, I hope they're able to get through the wave of emotions they're likely to experience over the coming days & weeks. It's hard to walk away...

    AMpersand #400 Bill S leaving WotC (and others?)

    Sad to hear about good people losing (or voluntarily leaving) jobs they loved. I hope Bill, Michele, and Shoe all land on their feet working on something they love. One can NOT underestimate their individual contributions to the hobby game category (and games industry). Clear up a couple...

    What Do You Want In A Converted Adventure?

    I want all the conversion to make a 1e adventure playable in 4e without ruining the 1e feel/story/charm. For example I would love to have I6: Ravenloft and all its greatness in a 4e version. I have never tried to do this type of conversion myself so I am not sure if it's possible to get to a...

    Gamers, I need input!

    If you can find a space/building that allows you to have a game store on one side and cafe on the other connected by open door(s) you'll broaden your base applealing to both gamers and diners. I would position the business as a cafe with games for sale and places to play. If posible have the...

    Chris Perkins now Senior Producer, D&D RPG

    First, Chris Perkins is a machine and will kick a$$ at what ever he works on. Glad to see him movin' up. Second, Orc Bacon. Apparently there was Orc Bacon sold in Germany at one point. This needs to make a comeback
