    Game design has "moved on"

    The funny thing is that the Enterprise in the re-imagined movie series is actually three times bigger. That Enterprise is 725 meters long (bigger than even the Enterprise-D). :D

    D&D 5E (2014) What size (thickness) book are you hoping the PHB, DMG, and MM will be and how much fluff do you expect?

    I don't care how many pages they use. My only concern is that they don't intentionally keep certain core aspects saved for later publication. This means having half-orcs, gnomes, and bards available on day one instead of one year later. Sure, somethings have to be saved for splat books or...

    Game design has "moved on"

    Most of my life I have felt the same way. However, lately, sometimes I think the original one with it sleek and clean look is a touch bit better looking. One must not dismiss the power of nostalgia. It helps that I can watch Trek today in high definition on better TVs than the old black & white...

    D&D 5E (2014) Chris Perkins - D&D Next Game Hole Con Panel

    Yes! For a brief time my introduction was with AD&D. The funny thing is that Second Edition AD&D was already in print but my local hobby store didn't stock it. Probably because they had plenty of 1E books still. :) But I never had a problem looking for normal things in those orange spined...

    D&D 5E (2014) Chris Perkins - D&D Next Game Hole Con Panel

    I thought they did so this? Back in early 3E... Maybe my memory is tricking me however. Could have been in Dragon Magazine.

    D&D 5E (2014) Chris Perkins - D&D Next Game Hole Con Panel

    I hope this is true! I play fourth edition D&D all of the time. The core game is fine with me but this edition is the single worse laid out one ever. If you are trying to look something up without the digital tools you might as well just pick a random page to start reading. The organization is...

    Numenera's Limited License

    The only feasible thing you could do with this is release a free product. Since you would never hit $2000 there would be no issues. All in all this is a pretty strange license.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Q&A: 09/27/2013

    I think you missed the point. The human race gets absolutely nothing else unless you count the extra language. They need something as a race and the flat +1 abilities shows their adaptability and superiority. It may be boring but humans don't have ancillary extraordinary racial abilities. Can...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Q&A: 09/27/2013

    But it doesn't make humans as graceful as elves (they get speed increases by 5 feet), nor are they tough as dwarves (hit point maximum increases by 1 every level), nor strong as dragonborn (breath weapon and damage resistance-yikes!). The flavor of races comes from the description and the...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Q&A: 09/27/2013

    Lots of us are perfectly happy with the human race getting the blanket +1 to abilities for the same reason you mentioned plus the simplicity of it. I can't say for certain but I wouldn't be surprised if we aren't the minority but the majority. Internet forums have a strong verbal minority bias...

    Dragon 427 posted and Upcoming Hiatus

    While I can understand their choice here I don't think it will be welcomed by the D&D community. It is therefore another disappointment and contrary to their future business interests. This is probably a choice made in advance of the annual Christmas layoffs so they can focus the smaller team on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Live tweets from gencon 5e Seminar

    It is the Internets! It must be true! :P Since Mr. Mearls & all are going to do at-least one more packet then they must not be sure exactly what the plan is yet. Still under construction...

    D&D 5E (2014) Final playtest packet due in mid September.

    One reason is because WotC has moved the "D&D Experience" to GenCon. I think a Christmas release or possibly October is more realistic but GenCon is the big show. They might possibly highlight the new system at next GenCon but release in October. Pretty sure I read that RPG game sales are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Live tweets from gencon 5e Seminar

    I wouldn't be surprised if the main 5E game was just called Dungeons & Dragons with an Unearthed Arcana style book being released six months to a year later called Advanced Dungeons & Dragons with some of these proposed optional modules and heavier rules bits included.

    D&D 5E (2014) Live tweets from gencon 5e Seminar

    Greyhawk actually received a lot of product support during the second edition of AD&D. More actual support than during first edition believe it or not. Third edition had at-least four Greyhawk products. The only edition that no paper supplement or hardcover book was produced for Greyhawk was the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Final playtest packet due in mid September.

    That would be a great idea but it is just impossible with Wizards of the Coast. They don't operate that way. Even to sell their special GenCon module they had to lean on forces outside of the company. I would also be highly surprised if fifth edition is sold in PDF format before the release of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Final playtest packet due in mid September.

    Lots of companies produced stuff for 4E. Goodman Games is/was also a famous one. You haven't seen much lately because even Wizards isn't producing for 4E anymore.

    D&D 5E (2014) Final playtest packet due in mid September.

    Support for 5E from companies other than Wizards of the Coast is already happening. (http://gf9-dnd.com/) I highly doubt this will be done through an OGL or GSL. More like more ordinary business agreements.

    D&D 5E (2014) Final playtest packet due in mid September.

    I am a bit puzzled on why your mad or sad. The D&D Next playtest has been this way since the beginning with frequent and massive changes followed up with simple research opinion polling.

    D&D 5E (2014) 02/08/13 New playtest packet to released today. [Udate: PACKAGE OUT!][

    Question: Does a 9th level ranger (horde path if it matters) get four melee attacks if he chooses to use two-weapon fighting? Thanks.
