He admitted he was slowing down and I get it. The man should retire. I wish he had not allowed the publisher to continue Shannara. Dawson is ok, but she is not Brooks. I will just consider the world done now.

On another note, where are folks buying ebooks now? I refuse to continue with Amazon now that they removed the ability for me to archive my books.

I read a wide range of authors. It is not other voices but everything looking and sounding identical. I am not a fan of romance novels so I am going to stay away from them. The books are fine to have romance in them but I do not consider that a "romance" novel. The Wheel of Time books just look...

I went to B&N a few weeks ago. It was littered with labels like “as seen on booktok.” I met a guy browsing books and he was really struggling and I just mentioned that I was finding it difficult to find material too. He was in his 20s and there was virtually nothing that was not romantasy or...

I hope so. I buy a lot of physical books.

Well, this may cut down on the cards and dice for kickstarters. Honestly, I'd prefer more books or adventures (content) so it will be cool if we get fewer of the "you have to take all this extra stuff to get the tier with the books you want."

Has anyone had experience with Ghostfire Games? I had never ordered from them and I decided to try Grim Hollow and DrakenHeim. I ordered the book in March 2024 along with Aetherial Expanse. They never stated that the entire order would be on hold until Aetherial released. I got a shipment...

We just started playing again too. I was thinking about trying to get a virtual EN Game day running to get the old CM crowd back together. @Alenda misses running Halfling Musketeers.

Good to see you, nerf. I did not think you still posted on ENW.

To be fair, Europe has had tariffs on US goods for years that increased the prices. I do not agree with what is happening but it is not like other countries do not use tariffs or VAT which also acts as a backdoor tariff.

Objectively, WOTC changed their plans after mass outrage and cancellations on DDB.

Agreed. You guys have me re-reading it again.

Google it or go read the massive threads on DDB forums. It is not as if there are scholarly articles on it.

It is clear from her novels that she played D&D. In the early days of the internet, people were producing fan-made IP content and authors like Moon, McCaffrey, and Lackey were very protective of their IP and feared that having an RPG produced would allow people to steal or erode it. I am happy...

Windows 11 is only 30% of the market. People are staying on 10 because 11 is garbage.

I disagree. People are still playing OD&D so a better solution would be to become the single source for all D&D games. They handle different versions of 5e such as LOTR on DDB already so it is no different. The main issue is that people paid for access to the 2014 content in the character...

They did not even try until the outrage and cancellations after they announced they were removing legacy content. They planned it that way. It was in their pre-PHB announcements.

Since they had originally stated that they were removing the 2014 rules and only kept them after mass outrage and cancellation of subscriptions, then yes, Spell is completely correct. They had intended to force people to move to 5.5. They have little incentive to fix the mess that they created.

This is how I interpreted @mearls conments.

The enemy NPC’s goal is to defeat and foil the PCs. The DM plays the NPC. The DM needs to make sure that the enemies do a good job to make the game fun for the players. Hence, the DM, by playing the NPC correctly, will try to defeat and foil the PCs. This is not adversarial unless the DM is...
