Keep in mind that 2e was smaller text and less pictures too. I'm guessing half the page count will be art. I still consider it an improvement over Spelljammer. I was really worried we'd get a 32 page Planescape Campaign book, 8 pages of character options, 5 pages of Sigil, a few pages on...

Hallelujah! That's moving in the right direction from the last slipcase/boxset.

Welp, I was going to buy Planescape anyways, because Planescape. At least if it's as threadbare as Spelljammer, I'll have a beautiful boxed set of 3x 32-page DiTerlizzi and DiTerlizzi-styled art.

Great interview! The Lazy DM methodology has been pretty revolutionary for my own DMing, so I'm excited to get my paws on this one.

No link? Humble RPG Bundle: So You Wanna Try Out Pathfinder by Paizo I'm surprised I don't own a copy of the Pathfinder 2e core books, this is a fantastic deal.

Camping is still there, although I don't think you need to camp in the field to advance any of the companion stories. Friendly fire is in, although I'm pretty sure you toggle it off in the difficulty settings. Kingdom Management mode is very similar to Pathfinder. On top of that, there is a...

Well deserved for Paizo and Owlcat. There were points that got pretty tedious on Act 5, but I enjoyed my 109 h first playthrough. Not everything stuck, but some of the stuff that did was incredible. For what it's worth, Owlcat has another full season of DLC planned. And WotR is still getting...

Only 15 people are affected at Wizards of the Coast. That's not to say that five independent studios will not be laying off 15+ developers each now that their projects are cancelled. There's really not enough information here to speculate on the stage of the projects, quality of the deliverables...

That's true if your market is only the average CRPG player. The intent of RtwP in Baldur's Gate was to translate the pen-and-paper experience in to something that more people would play. I'd argue that the proliferation of action-RPGs is a pretty good indicator that the majority of video game...

It's always been a taste thing I think. RtwP was away to try and smooth out the experience for people that aren't as interested in the number crunching and minutiae. I still like it, but I don't begrudge people that don't enjoy it. Back when BG came out, there were a lot of people complaining...

This definitely feels like a casualty of the new 4 quarter plan. If there's one obvious area of growth for D&D, it's the video game area. Wizards has completely missed the whole isometric RPG revival (Obsidians's Pillars of Eternity, Larians's Divinity, InExile's Wasteland and Torment...

Did the Saga era coincide with the Fifth Age books? I never played the tabletop Dragonlance, but I always got the impression DL was driven by the novels, which seemed to nosedive in quality around that time.

Time spent on this website reading and complaining about D&D... I do not want to compare time surfing the internet for D&D to game time stats, too scary!

I'm really curious where this goes. My gut feel is that a lot of this is just posturing. "Here is the 1.1 OGL that specifically says video games, VTTs, and electronic tooling were never supported under the OGL, so we at WoTC reserve the right to sue any competitors to D&D Beyond or the official...

Wasn't D&D Next available in PDF as well? I'm mostly a digital DM these days, which means sailing the seven seas if I want a PDF version of any 5e product I own dead tree. Wizards answer is to use DDB, which isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Well, in D&D terms, we did. I'd argue 5e doesn't do that anymore. There's very few options books (Xanathar and Tasha); even adventures are infrequent annual hardcovers instead of monthlies. Is that better? I don't know. Paizo fans have to be happy with the Pathfinder cadence. I sometimes miss...

I'm more of a 5e fan then Pathfinder, so I was actually considering the opposite, running Skulls & Shackles in 5e Spelljammer. Hope it goes well for you!

I think if OGL was a Trojan Horse, Wizards would have sued the Nine Hells of Baator out of Paizo right around when they stopped being a direct support to D&D and started being a legitimate competitor. Unless the spirit of TSR has taken over Wizards, or something insidious has happened over at...

As much as chide Wizards of the Coast for the lack of world building in 5e and the lack of support for established settings, Eberron is clearly the exception to the rule. Congrats to Eberron fans and many kudos to Keith Baker and everyone else supporting this setting.
