    And then there were 8! On Chris Sims and Jennifer Clarke Wilkes' Layoffs...

    The comparison should be 13 vs 25 (the development in Pathfinder should include brand management roles, no?). Since Paizo also produces card games et al., maybe we should now start comparing the 60 Paizo staffers to the whole WotC staff (on linkedin it shows 661 staffers, but usually some are ex...

    The Biggest RPG Story of the Year?

    I bet the first setting book for a core fantasy system will be pretty big, but pretty generic. Since they already have DA, as already pointed out, it will not be derived from a competing CRPG - it could be the setting of the new Bioware game, but I don't think so. I think it will be a literary...

    Green Ronin Announces DRAGON AGE, M&M, SONG OF ICE & FIRE, and more for 2015!

    I will buy the Dragon Age Core Rulebook for sure!

    D&D 5E Gem of Your Collection

    I guess the most prized gems are the Planescape Boxed Set, an italian first edition of West End Games Star Wars, the first english issue of the Star Wars Adventure magazine for the same SW D6 and some rare Dungeon Magazine issues. I have fond gaming memories of Forgotten Realms Adventures...

    D&D 5E If WotC is outsourcing official 5E material to 3PP, What is WotC working on?

    I really hope they are working on Dungeon. If they plan on releasing only a couple of APs a year, I will gladly read a bunch of one shot adventures written by the best freelancers in the market. I just hope they will not tie it in a costly subscription.

    Covers Preview for Elemental Evil Adventurer's Handbook and Princes of the Apocalypse!

    I bet it was Chris Perkins. [emoji1] And I do not find it a bad thing. Anyway, after a big epic high fantasy storyarc I would have preferred a Birthright-styled gritty military storyarc instead of another epic.

    Variant Cleric with Sorcerer-like Casting

    In my campaign setting clerics have always worked this way, which I find more sensible. They are spontaneous casters, each with a different set of powers/boons/taboos granted by the divine patron they serve. They have a limited number of known spells, and they have channel divinity powers only...

    CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR Kickstarter Launched - and it's for PATHFINDER!

    425k? Seriously? It seems they dumped everything and are starting over... Or are starting right now. Anyway, I'm not interested (PCGen owns my 3.5/Pathfinder needs).

    D&D 5E What Campaign Setting(s) Do You Want To See in 5E?

    Spelljammer. Definitely. Then Planescape, Dragonlance and Nerath (which it turned out much more interesting for my players than Greyhawk or the FR).

    Your unused character ideas?

    When AD&D was coming to its glorious end, there was a product that allowed you to play a crawling hand. I so badly wanted to play one, but alas at the time I was always the only DM available so I was left with the craving... Ok, you can start with the jokes

    7 Things To Remember About Copyright Before You Distribute That Cool Thing You Made!

    7 Things To Remember About Copyright Before You Distribute That Cool Thing Yo... So I assumed. Thanks for the clarification. I hope it doesn't bring too much trouble to the berks who are translating 5e all around... They think they are doing a public service, since an official translation is...

    7 Things To Remember About Copyright Before You Distribute That Cool Thing You Made!

    What about a translation? I would severely advice against it, even if the author changes some terms from the pld OGL and such, but this doesn't seem to stop some unofficial translations of 5e.

    Your Campaign Ideas?

    Here are some of the campaign ideas my players vetoed in the last 20 years... - playing a scro-only adventuring band shipwracked on a far away planet which turns out to be Taladas - playing in Adhalaid, a monoteistic campaign world where the old god is getting less and less devotion due to...

    What is your Favorite Version of D&D?

    The more I play it, the more I love 4e. Then 2nd edition with its endless flow of kits and late-lifecycle custom classes and player's options. And then comes 3.x, with all its possibilities, so abruptly betrayed when .5 was published (yes, I still resent that day). Now 5e comes and looks...

    So You're Just Not "Feeling It" for 5e - What ARE you excited about?

    I'm currenly quite satisfied with 4e essentials, so even if I ordered the PH I do not plan to move - not until an aitalian translation is provided (for my players). If I end my 4e campaign before that, I guess I will try the old Alternity ruleset

    under the sea

    Dungeon featured a Krynnish underwater adventure that was pretty good: the draven's deep menace (if I remember the title correctly)

    D&D 5E When did your Forgotten Realms depart from official continuity (for world-shaking events)?

    My PCs tried to prevent Mystra's death, failed, then took a timeshifting portal to hunt Shar in the future. So we skipped the Spellplague and will get back to the Realms for the grand finale of the Sundering. Meanwhile, we adventured in Nerath with 4e PCs...

    D&D 5E Upcoming OGL-Related Announcement!

    Re-reading the original article I sense a big [edited by legal department]. I feel there was a paragraph about 3PP, it just didn't make it

    Now that 5E is imminent, what are your D&D plans?

    I guess I'll stick with 4e for another year (to give it 3 full years of real world gameplay) than switch to 5e - and so convert all the 3.x campaigns we stopped to run 4e without difficult comparisons.
