My choice would be for it to be set during the First Chronicles, or at least before the Sunbane really set in. PC's from Earth could be an option but I think I would rather them from the Land and I would have to say a hard no on them having white gold.

This would be my first choice. Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed and Arcana Evolved borrowed some elements pretty heavily from it. I also think John Scalzi's series The Interdependency or Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space books would be great settings for games.

Somehow I missed the video when reading the descriptions of the projects. Old age has made me blind, I guess? It didn't really do much to quell my fears though. I guess The Authority could work since we don't have a JLA in the new DCU (I think? The continuity between the old DCEU and new DCU...

I am generally a fan of James Gunn so I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but some choices just seem unappealing to me. The Authority was always an odd fit for DC Comics. For those who don't know they were part of a totally different company, Wildstorm, that was bought by DC and...

This isn't meant to be offensive or condescending, but you are not understanding how the sciences work. Scientists, archaeologists included, are always examining and testing different hypotheses but they won't examine every alternate one because it doesn't make sense to do so if the source is...

You are right. Thats's why I said eventually and didn't specify the next edition.

Lots of pages, didn't read them. I'm glad Hasbro/WotC backed off, but I wouldn't count on long term changes when it comes to their corporate philosophy. Just an example to keep in mind: I work for a major cell phone provider and many years ago they decided to charge customers who wanted to pay...

I love these looks back at old issues of Dragon. I loved picking up this magazine and while the internet has far more gaming info than a monthly magazine could ever hope to cover (and is a great tool in its own right) nothing beats the anticipation of driving to the mall, going into Waldenbooks...

I have never said it out loud so if you imagine pure silence then that's how I pronounce it.

Nope. If Hasbro/WotC had acted in good faith I would have purchased other products from them if they published them and if they interested me. Therefore, I would have had a way of staying but since they haven't acted in good faith I won't. I'm not really sure what your point here is. WotC has...

Well, that depends on what you mean by stay. I don't play 5E so what WotC does in regard to it doesn't matter to me so then no, my behavior won't change and I won't purchase WotC games because I don't currently. If WotC came out with something I thought was interesting in the future then I...

I think you are mischaracterizing people's anger here. I don't play D&D and more and haven't in well over a decade but I have and do play games that exist because of the OGL and want to continue doing so. I don't want to see D&D burned down and I doubt others do either. What I do want to see...

If that's true then good for the 3PP who rely on them but as I've said before; Hasbro/WotC has proven to be a poor caretaker of the largest game in the hobby and doesn't operate in good faith. Too little, too late.

Regardless of whether this announcement is good or bad (your opinion may vary) the deauthorization of OGL 1.0 is still B.S. and WotC has already shown they don't operate in good faith. At this point, even if they walked everything back it would be too late for me. Also, the provision on no...

Why is that hard? I don't currently buy any products from those companies or use any of those services, with the exception of Amazon, without even trying. As far as Amazon goes, there is very little they offer I can't get elsewhere and the few things they offer I might not have access to...

In life everyone picks their battles. You can't fight against every injustice or win every argument, so you fight back against the ones that matter to you. It's not, nor should it be, an all-or-nothing proposition.

I won't be seeing D&D in the theatre's but not because of anything WotC did, and I do think they deserve the backlash they got. I won't be seeing it in the theatre because it seems like there is always one jerk in the theater who keeps looking at his cellphone with the brightness turned all the...

I get what you are saying about the culture but, in the end, all that matters is how the courts decide to interpret this and who can afford the legal battles, if any are fought.

Because us cranky old-timers say so..... ;)

I don't necessarily disagree with the points you make but as a society we are getting far more used to microtransactions and not actually owning our media so if WotC can build a good VTT I think modern attitudes, especially among the younger generations, will help this business model succeed...
