Oh don’t worry—WotC is already itself distributing the card sets that GF9 designed.

I would guess that WotC includes a blanket "You can never publicly discuss anything about this deal for all eternity" clause in all their contracts. For example, their lincensing arrangement with Gale Force Nine ended at some point in the past year or so—quietly, with absolutely no comment from...

No love at all for Freddy's, huh? I guess that surprises me a little. It's relativley widespread with roughly 450 franchises (about 60 more than In-N-Out) and is my thirteen-year-old son's favorite chain by far. (To be fair, I hate it.)

So basically Unity followed the OGL crisis and said that went great let’s do that

The numbers don’t add up to 100% because people are sleeping, eating, maybe watching TV. A little less of respondents said they are spending 6.9% of their free time on tabletop games. A little more of respondents said they are spending 25.5% of their free time on them. And so on. It’s a very...

I have several years of recent experience regularly DMing 5e for one autistic tween and one highly ADHD tween in a group filled out with their parents as the other players. I have also DM'd 5e for several other autistic and ADHD tweens in the past. Other posters' advice given above is...

Obviously this is a tease of a new, original setting designed for Large PCs: Bigby Presents: Bigly in Bigworld

I always figured the 5e design team tried to balance the druid using the metal restriction to eliminate some of the obvious ways of boosting AC, on the theory that the enormous amount of temp HP granted by wild shape needed to be offset by making the non-wild-shaped druid easier to hit. It...

I never experienced either of the Cubicle 7 games, but I have played TOR 2e and have read through the LotR Roleplaying core rules. I think TOR 2e a fantastic game. I know that some TOR 1e afficianados are displeased by a few of the mechanical changes, but I can't speak to that. In your position...

My thoughts exactly. Richard Baker's work is great, but I doubt he will be participating in this. I'm convinced Lost Mine of Phandelver is so great because WotC was so busy working on the 2014 manuals that they didn't have any time on their hands to mess up Richard Baker's module and just...

Maybe. I admit I was suprised when he tweeted out that it didn't even bother him that his name was absent from the credits of Honor among Thieves. But by all accounts he's just a very good-natured fellow (sometimes overly good-natured, if "good-natured" can be said to include a character trait...

Right. Which is what makes it remarkable (to me, anyway) that Greenwood adheres so closely to "canon" when answering lore questions.

Even "Elminster's Forgotten Realms" includes references to the Spellplague. WotC marketing at the time made "Elminster's Forgotten Realms" sound like it contained an alternate FR based on Greenwood's original vision. There are some photos in that book of archival documents such as original...

I guess so, though I'm not sure where the idea comes from. WotC has even decided to retcon Bigby himself from a human to a gnome.

That part, at least, is true: "George Lucas compares Disney to ‘white slavers’ that bought his children"

The wiki uses past tense—I think there's a sort of "intro to the wiki" article somewhere on there that explains this—as a matter of convenience in response to the "metaplot." For decades TSR's and then WotC's "current Realms year" would periodically advance, often in fits and starts (though the...

Maybe this goes without saying, but the FR Fandom wiki is an incredibly rich resource. It’s no substitute for reading through at least one of the overview books/box sets first, but it’s a really helpful supplement after that. You could run a highly “authentic” FR game just from the wiki.

Why on earth would WotC set release dates for FIVE new D&D products over a span of just four months??? Two of which are deluxe sets at premium prices; two of which are regular books in familiar formats, but with a notable price hike; and one of which is an all-fluff book that retreads the...

Our favorite is the hand pies. The candied apples turned out well, too. We haven't really been disappointed with anything we've made from it yet (around 10 of the recipes), so we're looking forward to the sequel.

According to the FR wiki, three more of these are also from classic Forgotten Realms lore: Goldenstar is a triangular loaf of eggbread stuffed with sausage and potatoes and "drowned in chicken sauce." Talyth is an appetizer consisting of a cracker topped with sausage, cheese, and herbs. Kaeth...
