You're in good company. Just one week ago they released a video in which Chris Perkins literally says of the 2014 DMG, "I don't think anybody in the universe would say, 'That book's a 10 out of 10.'"

Re: the 2025 Red Wizards adventure, Perkins says, "It's exciting because the Red Wizards are exciting, but it's also exciting because, 'Oh, what is—what can we do that's fun with the Forgotten Realms and prepare you for that adventure?'" Surely he's hinting at a setting guide here?

Little-known fact, the first draft script was titled Indiana Jones and the Rhizome of Mortality

Of course it wouldn’t happen everywhere in any case. But it’s a real enough concern that my spouse, who has sponsored D&D clubs and taught D&D electives at the school in the past, has already had a conversation about the leaked/scooped weapons list with another teacher who’s a current club...

I really hope they decide to move firearms back to the DMG. Why don’t I want firearms as baseline player options? It doesn’t have to do with setting or theme. Right now we have a game filled with fantasy violence, but it’s violence of a kind that very few people actually commit in our current...

I’m really not happy about adding rifles and pistols to the PHB weapons list.

Love this show. It was my gateway into the Pleasant Green Universe—an impressive series of interconnected fictional podcasts (what used to be called radio plays) all created by Julian Simpson. As for the short stories, I voted "Innsmouth" of the options provided, but I'm of the view that "The...

I never read this trilogy, having heard negative things about it (and having disliked Athans’s entry in the War of the Spider Queen series). But actually you make it sound like the kind of thing I might like a lot—I sometimes tire of the perpetual-combat formula for FR novels and enjoy the...

The B story in prequel #3, the graphic novel prequel, features the paladin.

Johnson is actually being uncommonly faithful to the setting! Here’s the in-world mail-order catalogue. The business uses a network of teleportation circles. Whiskey—yes, with an e. And there are many references in Ed Greenwood–penned supplements to beer being served cold—as well as, in other...

Such a bold narrative move to place that story beat right in the middle of season 32 rather than saving it for the finale. Anyway, the whole series makes a lot more sense if you watch from the beginning.

Season 32 was probably the best ever for CBS Evening News.

WotC hasn’t produced a novel since 2016. Like the new Dragonlance trilogy, this and The Druid’s Call are being published by Random House Worlds, which is also providing editorial services. I’m sure WotC (as well as Paramount) has a lot of input and can veto things, but it’s not producing the...

$55 million.

As a quibble, not all of the FR novels are this length—some are longer, and some much longer (City of Splendors, Cormyr, and Evermeet are all in the 500-page ballpark, for instance), but the majority are 312 or very close to it. And I suspect you’re right about the ending of this one, and how...

That’s a very reasonable hypothesis!

It boggles my mind to think that there may be no tie-in product with actual RPG content based on the film—no adventure, no starter set, nothing. I figured most likely WotC would produce a combo sourcebook/adventure with movie tie-in stuff like descriptions of the various locations, stat blocks...

I like the alt cover and bet it will look great IRL. But apparently this isn't a movie tie-in book after all, at least not directly. That surprises me.

This is definitely a movie tie-in book. Its press push may have been postponed due to the OGL fiasco, or it may always have been planned to begin a little later than usual due to the movie promotion timetable (especially after the movie itself was pushed back until late March).

How sure are we that the leaked document was meant to be signed? The statement released yesterday is widely seen as including at least one lie: the claim that the leaked document was a “draft.” Most of the commentary I’ve come across insists that this was an executable document intended to be...
