I thought newspapers were an Eberron thing for flavour. We got printing presses in every little town in Faerûn now too??

Artificer. And 5E wouldn’t even have that if Eberron players hadn’t demanded it. (Dunno if anyone else remembers the first playtest article for 5E Eberron, but they literally tried to make the artificer into a wizard subclass, blech.)

…is this satire? I’m honestly not sure.

Yep, you get me! That is what I meant.

It just hit me like a ton of bricks that not only does this series of articles make me want to read all the old Dragon mags, but it also makes me wish I had this series printed and bound, sitting on my shelf. Is this an opportunity for EN Publishing or M.T. Black? I’d buy it

I mean, they wouldn’t have to include DoIP the adventure to include its handful of relevant locations and NPCs. One thing that made LMoP feel alive was the fact there were places and characters who weren’t connected to the main story; it‘s a setting ripe for sandboxing. Including the locations...

This might be the first WotC product I buy in the past few years, because I loved LMoP so much. I am wondering how much (if any) of Dragon of Icespire Peak will be integrated into this book too? That adventure came from the Essentials Kit and also focused on Phandalin, but the two stories didn’t...

Gray gloo

Ah so this is literally just a stealth-compilation? Some of the artwork Beth described sounds familiar, like the taxonomic drawings (3.5’s Draconomicon) and the Kobold wearing a dragon skull (not sure, but was this one in Races of the Dragon)? Anyway this seems pretty clearly like it’s meant...

Meh, it’s not really that weird. Anthropomorphic animals are a global staple of fantasy and fairy tales across cultures, because it’s a very relatable concept. Even D&D features PC races for anthropomorphic lizards, dragons, and several different versions of cat people. It might be a lot...

I chuckled when I saw this. I feel slightly validated in my belief that WotC is genuinely somewhat worried about losing the CR fandom from the D&and community after CR has been such a huge driver for them over the past decade. I fully believe WotC is concerned about CR’s plans to launch their...

If these guys stole all that product from GenCon in broad daylight while wearing tshirts for their own tiny company, then they’re even bigger fools than the mafia.

I’m annoyed with the 5E/One D&D playtest feedback results that “wizards should have their own spell list” at the same time people complained about some of the wizard’s class features being turned into unique spells. I loved the combined spell lists AND the new approach to wizard class features...

Excellent reference

I, for one, am looking forward to slotting space stuff into my PF2 game. Consider this a huge expansion for Pathfinder! Probably makes good sense from a marketing perspective too: Pathfinder seems a lot more popular than Starfinder, but that distinction can disappear when they’re mechanically...

Yep. And if you’ve got a decent product, you can find traction in digital before you ever commit to print. Not saying it’s easy to publish something, but you’re exactly right: writing a TTRPG has a really low barrier to entry, and the main cost will be his time. So, with that in mind, I looked...

That’s silly, there’s never been an edition of D&D that lasted so long. Oh yeah? Nothing’s stopping you from writing your own. Lots of people do. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Ah yes, Stalker0, naturally! I should have probably guessed. Anyway, human memory notwithstanding, I still appreciate the link!

Do you have a link or the name of the thread? I might be blind but I couldn’t find which thread it was, and your suggestion tantalized me.

I’m intrigued by this, but just to echo what others have said, it’s currently kind of a novelty and this is just an iterative step towards some truly cool tools in the future. (I maintain that the ultimate endpoint/Holy Grail for TTRPG integration is something like Star Trek’s holodeck, but...
