Better yet, change nothing, and just have Drizzt be eaten by Glabbagool. It would be beauteous, and I don't even hate Drizzt.

See, you say you don't like it. But adding Saturday morning cartoon-level caricatures with silly names makes it at least 1000x awesomer, that is just objective science.

Right, but "Out of the Abyss" got a single line's mention in the press release. They're not trying to get the Drizzt novel fans to play the tabletop game - they're trying to get them to read "The Archmage", and also maybe buy Sword Coast Legends and play the Neverwinter MMO if they want to get...

As someone who's put together press releases for my company, I can take a guess at why that might be - whoever wrote it was given a list of key points to get across. From the looks of it, the tabletop AP probably got only a single one to itself, as did licensed accessory products from partners...

Hey, no worries - thanks for stopping by and best of luck in the new job! Ok, now that pleasantries are dispensed with, got any STUNNING BRAND NEW TIDBITS OF REALMSLORE you can share with us? :p

Right, Gromph opens up portals to the Abyss throughout the Underdark. Drizzt tackling that is obviously going to be the plot of The Archmage, so I'm doubtful the AP will actually have to do with the players travelling to Menzoberranzan or facing Gromph at all. The blurb states that "what steps...

That is Nathan "D&D stopped being a tabletop game decades ago" Stewart talking. When he says everyone, I think he's talking about the triple AAA video game audience, not the tabletop audience. This is the "Rage of Demons" storyline announcement. "Out of the Abyss" gets a single line mentioning...

Ha, my take is that that's more Sword Coast Legends cutscenes and the R.A. Salvatore novel. PotA has been praised for making it easy to migrate to non-Realms settings, and the Underdark is one of the most generic of D&D regions - they have to be counting on people setting it outside of the...

Goldomark, I'll concede it here - you were right, it is a tie-in to Sword Coast Legends. They're following the same pattern as they did previously by tying it in Neverwinter, but I wasn't sure the timing for the release Sword Coast Legends would allow for it. You called it. What's really...

Heh, given the choice between working on "TRPG-stuff" or "non-TRPG stuff", I'd rather the Adventure Time guy play to his strengths and give us a D&D cartoon. :p

That's the question then, isn't it - will this have any impact on the tabletop release schedule? It doesn't sound like it, if this gig is purely lore-keeping for licensing, without any game design. Personally my views on game design are orthagonal to SKR's so I'm rather relieved to know he won't...

See, what I think they're actually talking about is the setting components of the adventures and APs. Legacy of the Crystal Shard covered the Ten Towns, PotA focuses on the Sumber Hills, a future urban AP set in Waterdeep could thoroughly cover that city... two or three years from now they'd...

Oh, sorry! Thought I had included the link in that post! Here you go. Also dove back into the scroll-fest that is Twitter on a mobile browser to retrieve this for you. Seems like they were telegraphing back in November their interest in only focusing on one smaller region of the Realms at a...

You might find these Tweets relevant...

Did some digging through Twitter for the very first mention of it, from a series of Tweets transcribing Chris Perkins' panel at Gamehole Con. It's absolutely a concrete AP, but clearly it's "inspired by" rather than a literal adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland". In any case, "The Alice in...

Haha yeah, hyperbole aside I kind of figured the Android version was right around the corner. :p What's especially impressive to me is how there was no advance warning that this was coming. My takeaway is that this is how they're planning on doing announcements about stuff like this and Fantasy...

Yeah, at my work everyone but me has an iPhone - hence getting our app approved by the App Store is a huge deal while making it available for Android users is an afterthought. And we're an international company, not even US based!

Now if only we could get a Dungeon+...:p

Oh, cruel fate! To be an Android user in an uncaring, Apple-centric world! To have longed so for the return of Dragon, only to find only disappointment and sorrow in the Google Play apps section! Curse you, Wizards! A pox upon thy house! May you step unshod upon thy children's Legos! May your...

I agree with you, in that they are trying to minimize expectations a little bit by saying we might only see one a year. I think, if faced with unavoidable delays in one arena, they are comfortable postponing an AP until they are ready to launch across all platforms. Looking at those plot...
