Just because the term is not offensive in your country doesn't mean that the term isn't offensive to other populations, such as populations of Asian ancestry in the US (where WotC is based). I have found that the key to understanding, when it comes to addressing the objections that people of...

My complaint is that you're using a definition of Otaku that assumes that the movie "Dragon Inn" falls under anime for purposes of what the fandom covers. There isn't really an overall term for "fantasy manga" - particularly since there are a whole bunch of sub-categories - like "isekai" anime...

(Emphasis mine) You keep using that word - I don't think it means what you think it means. Particularly since there is an extremely long tradition of western-inspired fantasy in Anime, whether we're talking stuff like Lodoss and Slayers in the 90s, or a lot of modern Isekai like Sword Art...

So, I've given a lot of thought in terms of, if WotC was going to do a successor/replacement book for what OA is (but not called Oriental Adventures), they should probably. As has been mentioned repeatedly, but bears repeating - not call it OA. Instead, use the title of the setting for the...

Spelljammer fits the 2nd and 4th - not so sure about 1st and 3rd. They teased it in Dungeons of the Mage, so it might fit 3?

I don't think WotC has the rights to Blackmoor, but I could be wrong.

I mean, this needed to happen, and I'm glad it did. I'm interested in seeing how things will work with GenCon online.

Very nice, though I am concerned that I might be eaten by a grue.

We did get anniversary reprints for AD&D 2e (they were released with a green cover and with the internal material and errata from the Black Cover editions of AD&D 2e).

For now, my Thursday Night group is on indefinite hiatus, so we're going to be moving online play for the not-too-distant future.

There's probably going to be a degree of stream prep as well - finding the right platform and that sort of thing (with cost possibly not being an issue - if word gets out that Critical Role is looking to at least temporarily move online, Matt will probably find his inbox flooded with sponsorship...

Don't know as yet - my group has a message board for planning and coordinating stuff - I've asked the group if we're still meeting as normal or if we're going to be canceling or moving the session online, and have not heard back yet.

I was wondering if they were going to either postpone streaming or move online (which Friends at the Table does)

I'm not sure if I'll be able to go to pick up a copy from the FLGS, considering the state of Oregon is upping restrictions on gatherings tomorrow, so my main option may be to get it from Amazon (or another online bookstore)

So - to answer the question - my first time playing AD&D 1E was in my middle school D&D club, where the GM ran us through Keep at the Borderlands and I made the mistake of rolling a wizard as my first character. That, combined with the GM also giving full XP to the PC who got the last hit meant...

So, it depends on the setting. For settings tied heavily on a location with a particular flavor, or with a unique set of rules, like Planescape, Spelljammer, or Birthright, I'd like a setting book or rules book first before opening it up on the DMG. For Dragonlance, I'd really like an...

As an additional question of my own - are there any useful guidelines for quickly creating NPCs without having to create a new character?

Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies!

I don't know which one I'd prefer as a book cover, but I wouldn't mind seeing the alternate art painted on a van.

I'm in a 5th edition game right now, which I'm enjoying, but I also do have some fondness for AD&D 2nd Edition as well.
