In France 4E has been (partially) translated but none of the recent D&D board games (ie Castle Ravenloft, Conquest of Nerath, Lords of Waterdeep) or miniature games (Dungeon Command) has been translated. Now to be honest I think that except for two artbooks and the D&D board game from 2002...

I don't know how it is Japan or in Germany , but in France the translation of D&D has been handled by at least 4 different structures. Most of the time the number of translated products was just -low- (usually the first year of product line is published in 2-3 years) and the speed of release...

Well it isn't surprising if you consider that the number of products published during 4e was very limited compared to what was produced during 3e. Also WotC is coming out of time period were no products were released so a tighter staff was logical. It will be interesting to make the same...

BTW in the eScapist art interview the team said that: "In the new core books, we made every effort to represent a myriad of diverse cultures, costumes, and skin tones found in the Forgotten Realms." So my bet is that the 5e core books will be FR centric.

Sad but true. I've seen the main shop in my area reduce the space devoted RPG by more than 75% in the last 4 years. Also they won't stock much foreign language products anymore (I'm from France) so I have to either ask for a special order or buy them online. But again back in 2000 digital...

My guess is that the monsters and NPCs stat blocks will be consistent between Basic and Core. Obviously they won't use the optionnal rules from the DMG. I guess that in format we'll get something akin to what had been published for the playtest and the latest "Sundering" adventures, a PDF with...

True but you still can publish for it without too much hassle.

Back then publishing D&D 3.0 products was the only way of publishing content without developing your own RPG system. In 2014 there is a good number of D20 variant you can publish for (PFRPG, 13th age, M&M) or non D20 (FATE, Traveller, D6, Savage Worlds, Runequest/Legend) if that is you taste...

You're right there about 5 PDF publishers right now on DTRPG that have WotC/Paizo-like material but when did you see any of their products on shelves ? Also their current backlog is full of 3.5/PFRPG so I don't think that they'll switch to 5E unless they are sure that the game will be a success...

I'm' a bit curious but you know that there are other role-playing games publishing companies out there and most of them do not have any kind of OGL. Fan content for them has been going on for years without all this fuss. Also I don't know if there would be so much 3pp early on. I mean the ones...

Sure ! I used my old 2E/3E products all the time. Still giving some advice on "converting" adventures and monsters would help them sell even more backlog products and maybe even make it possible to have soft crossing between Pathfinder and 5e.

I'm not well versed in Paizo way of doing things but I didn't see products copy-pasting the Pathfinder rules as what was done during the later 3.5 era. Instead all the Pathfinder compatible products are new capaign setting, rules options or adventures.

Now all we need is free PDF to explain how to turn 3.5 resources into D&D 5e. ^_^

Keep in mind that a SRD/OGL covers more than just what will be in the Basic game PDF so there is no reason why they couldn't do one. I'm not sure about a print version of the Basic PDF, at least not immediately. Maybe some years down the road they may release a new "Introductory Set" at a low...

I guess that -if- we get a 5E OGL we won't get as much crap as we got in the early 2000. I mean back then the PDF publishing was in its infancy and thus we saw a lot of crappy -printed- products on the store shelves creating a shelf space issue for the store. Nowadays most of the least...

The vote placed the 18, 7 and classic 2e logo in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place respectively totalling 38.6 percent of the votes. and while the 4E logo had 20% of the votes it's logic that they instead went with an updated version of the classic ampersand since they wanted to go back to that place.

Check the Icons of the Realms: Starter Set. It definitively looks like the classic dragon-fire-breathing ampersand ! Check the old Dragon's Eye View Ampersand article (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4dreye/20120404) It looks like the number 7 one ^_^

I'm not concerned about pricing. Just check other role-playing game product like the new Star wars RPG or the WH40K RPG from FFG they are in the same price range. BTW the $20 price for the original 3.0 release was actually an early bird special price. Now from the text blurbs it seems that the...

I find it interesting is that they will release the MM before the DMG. Does this mean that they feel that you won't need it to start playing ?... unless they expect early buyers to play only the two Tiamat adventures.

Yeah no other physical product beyond the novels has been announced. I guess that should there have been more printed adventures planned through the Q1-2 of 2014 they would have been discussed during the last GenCon. Anyhow I'm fine with having pure digital products but I feel that if the goal...
