Yes sir. I have no idea how it will work for the masses but it could work really nicely for select companies if they both parties really wanted it to. No need for the OGL if you have a different agreement. I wouldn't want to see Paizo or any other game company give up on their current things...

I am not a fan of what they did with Forgotten Realms but the Dark Sun World material was pretty good. Originally they made some big mistakes with DSW and basically invalidated their entire boxed set very quickly (during 2E). The Dark Sun themes were an excellent use of the 4E rules. Also, Dark...

Phlogiston is gone man. I am a big SpellJammer fan and DMed it back in 2nd edition and am even DMing it right now with Fourth Edition. Even if you don't use Fourth Edition you should check out the planer books for 4E. The Astral Sea is one of the best innovations of the whole 4E era. Makes...

Ladies and Gentlemen: There's more than one way to skin a cat. If Paizo and Wizards wanted to work together they can without an OGL or GSL. Wizards makes business arrangements all the time with companies and has had previous arrangements with Paizo. So even if the OGL is not used for 5E that...

There is always the possibility that Paizo would support D&D 5E with adventure paths or even dual-stat them or release two PDF versions, etc. Despite the Internet rage between customers of both Paizo and Wizards: the two companies have always got along very well. And Stevens and Mona are no...

tuxgeo hit the nail on the head. I personally would wait as well. There are tons of support for B/X and BECMI on the internet as well including adventures you can use. :) It is only four months until the 5E Starter Set is released. Your kids might get bored of their current character classes and...

Greetings. One of my player remembers a dwarven name generator from a TSR sourcebook (most likely an AD&D Second Edition book). He wants to use it in a new campaign. Does anyone remember it? Thanks.

As strange as this might sound I would recommend playing a free-to-play fantasy MMO. These games aren't the same as table-top role-playing but have many of the same concepts and it will get you familiar with some of them. And familiar with dealing with people in a game. Two free D&D games...

I guess the answer is I must be. Because starting on Saturday, March 29th, I am starting a new Castles & Crusades game as DM. C&C is just as much another edition of D&D as Pathfinder is. I am pretty psyched about it and my players are really getting into it and we haven't even played a minute...

Thanks Thanks for the note. I will keep my eye on this thread for eventual information.

I doubt they would do this but I would love to see the default set of monsters in the Dungeon Master's Guide (like was summarized in the first edition DMG) but with full write-ups and magic items and other treasure. If they actually do include lots of optional modules that needs a big page count...

I would like to hear something from someone connected to Organized Play. I understand that many folks would demand a lot of specific details. But a lot of us folks just want to know if something is going to happen. I don't really need any specific details. We can all guess it will use 5E and...

I don't miss anything from first edition. Or second edition. Or third edition. Or revised third edition. Or fourth edition. The reason is I still have my books and can play the old editions anytime I can find enough people willing to do it. I am still happily Dungeon Mastering a fourth edition...

They are still there. :) They are just invisible if you don't have an order for them.

The Castle Keeper's Guide for Castles & Crusades is exactly like that. It is a huge book with optional rules modules in it. Some of it looks like things you might have seen in an Unearthed Arcana in older D&D editions but it is properly put in a DM's book since the game-master usually makes...

The Barnes & Noble website still has the information in their computer for these two products with the prices, SKU's, and release dates. They have simply made it invisible to searches and page fingering. Someone obviously decided to hide them but orders are still being honored along with the...

Just for history's sake I will point out that BECMI came after AD&D. The three core rulebook setup was established for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in the very late 1970's. B/X Basic D&D came out originally in 1981 then was updated/re-released starting in 1983 as BECMI. The older model for...

The listings for the Third Edition Premium Reprints at Barnes & Noble books turned out to be 100% correct despite several clamoring otherwise. It must be a "hacked website" is what a lot of folks were saying. It wasn't.

I think I might actually pre-order these books from Barnes & Noble. I do like supporting bricked game stores but at-least during the fourth edition run of D&D Wizards of the Coast made it difficult for these stores to get the dang books. At-least the smaller ones. The closest local store was...

If Disney ever actually buys Hasbro (as has been rumored before) then everything will change. The mouse is gobbling up all the cheese!
