    Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Hot Off The Press

    Is this comment referring to her ethnicity? Or do you think "former porn star" is a minority class?

    Survivor Appendix N Authors- LEIBER WINS!

    OK, sure. But that's true of most of the remaining names on the list. So why are so many people downvoting Moorcock?

    Survivor Appendix N Authors- LEIBER WINS!

    Wow. The one time I voted in this thread, it was to upvote Moorcock. I can actually kind of understand Lovecraft and Howard going out early in this day and age (though I dearly love them both) -- but Moorcock? Brilliant and pioneering writer of "genre" fare (forget the alignment system...

    Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Hot Off The Press

    Apparently you don’t know about Ms. Phoenix’s filmography.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is Hoard of the Dragon Queen such a bad adventure?

    This. In fact, I think the whole first half of HotDQ works better if you treat it like this. The module spends about one page, and a fraction of a single game session, getting the party from Greenest to the caravan leaving Baldur's Gate. When I DM'd the module, this journey took about 10 game...

    D&D 5E (2014) Beadle & Grimm's Waterdeep: Dragon Heist - Platinum Edition

    Right now all signs point to "failed Kickstarter from first-time creator" territory. I mean, seriously: they won't give you any specifics whatsoever about what you're getting. Nothing. You go to their site and click the button that actually says "Show Me" -- but the button doesn't do that...

    WotC RECALLS Mordenkainen Tome of Foes (special edition only)

    Just picked up my copy in Providence, RI. It has minor scratches on the spine and very minor scuffing to front cover, which I probably would never have noticed if it weren't for the recall announcement. Even having seen the damage, I couldn't care less about it. But then, to me D&D manuals are...

    D&D 5E (2014) I know *exactly* what "Many Eyes" means

    I wholeheartedly agree. As an example, I'm currently DMing "Tyranny of Dragons" and there's a castle that features as a major location in the campaign (Castle Naerytar). I was just browsing through old magazines a few weeks ago, and it turns out that castle, as described in the 5e campaign...

    D&D 5E (2014) I know *exactly* what "Many Eyes" means

    We've already guessed the upcoming streaming event / campaign book announcement relates to beholders, Xanathar, and Waterdeep/Undermountain. And it's been noted that the tagline "No Stone Unturned," found both in the event announcement and the currently-ongoing "alternate reality game" is a...

    "Stream of Many Eyes" -- WotC To Announce New Storyline In June

    I just watched the bit you're referring to, and Stewart clearly over-emphasizes the word "sun" when he says this. He's definitely trying to tease Dark Sun and psionics; the only question is whetehr he's pranking us in doing so. Remember that they will almost certainly be announcing not one but...

    Marathon, Broadway, and Catacomb: Upcoming D&D Products?

    Broadway = Waterdeep (mega-adventure part 1) Catacomb = Undermountain (mega-adventure part 2) So Secret We Can't Reveal Its Codename = Stranger Things Setting/Adventure I have no inside info but I'll lay money these are correct.

    Should I share my game world with you folks?

    I voted "heck no, garbage" just because I felt sorry for that category. It had no votes at all! Presumably because everyone else realized your ideas are actually pretty cool.

    Dungeons and Dragons Art and Arcana : A Visual History to be released Oct 23rd

    Three things worth noting: 1. This is apparently an officially licensed product (note the current-era logo). 2. It's being produced by Ten Speed Press, a Crown/Random House imprint with absolutely excellent graphic design and production values, so the book is likely to look *great*. 3. In...

    Coming in May: Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes! [UPDATED!]

    All the local game stores around me (southern New England, USA) have sold the alternate covers for full MSRP, whereas they usually mark the regular versions at some kind of discount in order to compete with online retailers (even though they never discount the regular books as heavily as e.g...

    Coming in May: Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes! [UPDATED!]

    True, but it's now clear enough to be reasonably sure that is indeed Drizzt.

    D&D 5E (2014) Announcement coming February 6th

    Today I had a thought that's so crazy it just might be true: what if "Broadway" is an official D&D adventure path set in the world of "Stranger Things"? A few months ago Mike Mearls made an offhand comment that's stuck with me (in a video on RollPlay with him, Koebel, Colville and Mercer). In...

    Marathon, Broadway, and Catacomb: Upcoming D&D Products?

    My predictions: Marathon = planar/settings supplement Broadway & Catacombs = massive 2-part adventure sequence set in Waterdeep and Undermountain

    D&D 5E (2014) XGTE Errata

    Haven't seen this one mentioned anywhere yet: the first two Grasslands Encounters tables (p. 100) are listed as Levels 1-5 and 6-10, whereas the tables for all the other environments are correctly marked Levels 1-4 and 5-10.

    New Errata & Sage Advice Compendium (Sleep & Trance Are Fixed!)

    Most of these new errata are mechanical corrections and clarifications. But the three changes to Chapter 2 of the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide are pure theme/fluff. Any ideas why these were important enough to warrant errata?
