I hope you put all that into the feedback form ;-)

Dance 10 / Looks 3 is not the way to go, I can tell you that.

I think you missed my sly dig. The Purple Worm was originally a dragon (wyrm), not a Dune worm/Lamprey knock-off.

Called it on Spellfire! Little upset about the introduction of a Purple Dragon though. We already had one, going as far back as Chainmail - the Purple Worm. Your Deep Cut of the Day:

Yeah, epic is a very good word for it. I really enjoyed the discussion. I sent a note to the podcasters to please continue the series.

Yeah, but they stop just before the time referenced.

The exact date is unknown. The earliest it could have been finished based on evidence was the last week of January. That doesn't account for when it was released to the public, which is likely later by weeks. And you're seriously going to quibble over missing a hypothetical date for the last...

Technically they're only 3 weeks late from hitting the 50th year, as D&D was not released until the last week of January, if I have my dates correct. So we are just concluding the 50th year now.

When it was announced that there would be a setting in the DMG my guesses were that it was going to be a brand new setting, but barebones, with some new stock characters and NPCs, or Greyhawk to celebrate the 50th. It turned out to be the latter of course, but that made me curious about which...

Sorry, I repeated a question I forgot I asked.

I was referring to GenX females who read the 90s novels, who became mothers to 5e children.

And those women were in their 20s reading fantasy novels produced by D&D, which I'm sure had a lot to do with bringing them into the fold.

That's the opposite extreme and just as incorrect to say. It certainly contributed to it - the maturity of the 3PP market for 5e (as opposed to the Gold Rush days of 3.5/d20) also contributed. It's definitely a rising tide lifting all.

Don't make it a formal program? Can't game the rules if there aren't any. I see successful curation as a mixture of the objective (sales numbers, impartial lists of 'what came out this week' and lists of modules that involve 'heists in Faerun', cumulative ratings) and the subjective tastes of...

Out of curiosity, how much non-WOTC rpg stuff do you buy per year comparatively?

It will be interesting to see where the debt lies in the corporate structure between Diamond and Alliance, and how a sale of Alliance will affect the above listed creditors. If/when Alliance is sold, who gets the money? Alliance creditors or is it spread out amongst all of Diamond's creditors?

I think it's a failure, personally, for the creators. I think it could be much better if there were better curation and marketing on behalf of the creators. A 'good housekeeping seal of approval' would do wonders to separate the wheat from the chaff, and develop new talents. Right now it's a...

Actually that was exactly what Jim Butler (paizo prez) brought up in last night's episode of 50 Years in the Dungeon - not just the spouses, but their KIDS and now GRANDKIDS. What's funny to remember is that Ray Winninger, Jim Butler and all of GenX who went on to run (and consume) D&D were the...

I think there's a little bit of "post hoc ergo propter hoc" here. We don't know all the factors that turned D&D from a front-list to a back-list market. First, we have only the two extremes of (few products, few product lines and high sales) and (plethora of products in plethora of lines and...
