Yea I have heard rumours that Windows 10 is the last windows version...... ;) I don't believe in marketing speak. Despite what WotC is calling it we are at 5.5. After that inevitable comes what ? 6E.

If you focus on very few but spectacular combats then 5E class balance gets even more strained then it already is when you do the slow attrition based combat play style. Admittedly its not my only nor my main reason for ditching the game but is among the reasons. A single issue I can always work...

Sure I can and have made it work but well I need to invest time in it and the end result feels ill fitting with stuff like for example class balance. Given that 5E is very work intensive on the GM side I just went for another game that worked better right out of the box for me in my group. As I...

I never played very much of 5E compared to how much I played AD&DII, 3E and 4E. Nothing I have read so about the new version so far has changed that. They did a .5 edition like with 3E. Basically they changed just enough so so that most people will feel the need to buy the new books but didn't...

It easily explained: It is practical. Especially if you only play once a month or so with you group. You need to track a lot of stuff in D&D and after several weeks people just forget or lose their notes. So a Long Rest at the end of session it good stopping point that resets the game for the...

Well that game could use some overhaul. It was the first game of Free League that I was disappointed with. Its a OK game. Not really bad. But my expectations for Free League games are very high so that game that is merely OK feels like a disappointment. The are are victim of setting the bar so...

Ah now I know why they did that half price sale a month ago. Given that I just bought that game in that sale I will skip that kickstarter. Imho that is a bit to soon for a second edition. There is not enough stuff out for the line to warrant a new edition. Free League is one of the best RPG out...

True. I consider that first bunch of reviews by people that WotC carefully selected as promotion. The real reviews will start when people that weren't carefully selected get their hand on it.

Yep that my assumption as well. Marketing speak is in the end only marketing speak.

Oh just imagine the tragic situation those of us that don't live in the US are finding us in......I am all for WotC delaying the US release to keep the suspense and excitement alive for all those buyers in the rest of the globe. ;) Fun aside. I don't care at all. Its a non issue as it is next...

Did 3.5E have all new art as well back them ? Or pushes all the new art this .5 half edition (if we put all the marketing speech that tries to hide it aside for a moment) more to wards a .6 or .7 .....;)

I can offer some German language games: Das Schwarze Auge (far bigger then the other two) , Hexxen 1733 and Die Schwarze Katze. They obviously are nowhere as big as international games given that they are for a German language audience but they all have been doing one or more yearly...

Well while no longer much interested in WotC's products I will freely admit that I like those three alternative covers. They just look gorgeous. Way better the the standard ones.

I have enough to do as GM and I am lazy. So yes I am all for the players doing the work......

Oh the couldn't restrain themselves and printed that "The World's Greatest Roleplaying Game" line even more prominent (an in colour to both) on the book. As a non native English speaker I am never sure if the talk about sales numbers or quality of the game here. This fist is correct the second...

There are some pointy shoulder pats instead..... ;) They kind of look ridiculous. Given that is a picture of a 5E wizard they actually should be somewhat more conservative with the magical stuff. Thanks to Concentration they can't have too much magical stuff at the same time going. Imho the...

Hell yes. There or at Hasbro. You don't terminate things in public like Larian just did if things didn't went very very wrong behind the scenes. We are talking about the loss of a ton of money here. For all involved. Larian, Hasbro and WotC. Depending on what else comes out there might be a...

Well I guess the Monetization of D&D will easily make up for the loss of that little potential game franchise.....;)

Game of the year. 10+ Millions of sales. Beloved by its player base. A license to print money...... Now maker of said game sounds pissed off, doesn't make make another game nor a DLC..... Sounds like some heads will roll somewhere because of staggering incompetence.

I feel the need to point out that if this is a twist to you then you played D&D way too long as this is very much not a Wizard Archetype but a D&D Trapping ..... ;) Not only in a ton of literature but in TTRPGs as well. It is a much of a D&D trapping as the Fighter are jocks trapping D&D never...
