I’ve still found the details on them a bit shallow compared to metal minis or something like the GW plastic minis. I recently painted the half-elf sorcerer with the flame coming from his hands as my Wild Mage PC in our current ToA campaign. I found the eye sockets on that mini to be the...

What book was that you are referring to? I’m interested in this latest book, but still not committed.

This is the first I've heard of it, which is surprising as I backed 2 of their other Kickstarters. I wonder why they didn't put out an update on those other Kickstarters to let previous backers know about this new campaign?

The problem is that the money that the DM's Guild would generate for WotC would be tiny in comparison to the money they would make on pretty much anything else, especially if all it does is cannibalise sales of their print books or other DM's Guild products. Given the potential risks, there is...

Except those Kara Tur books are still complimentary to the other FR books that WotC have produced. They work together because they are still in the same setting. Plus there aren't so many that it is completely unaffordable for your average player to keep up with, even if they also buy some DM's...

Opening up the market creates other competitors for themselves. Yes, they get 50% if he proceeds from DMs Guild sales, but it creates a number of risks. What if opening up another setting’s IP causes their print sales to drop. That could cause them to lower their print runs, dropping their...

Do you really want me to point out that you need a computer and have an internet connection in order to publish your own material? I mean, how pedantic do you want to be about this? You'd probably also want some design software to lay out your product, but technically you could make a product...

I have a couple of thousand D&D prepainted minis, which means I generally have the exact minis I need. However, I don't have many dinosaur minis. As our current DM is running Tomb of Annihilation, he was going to buy some ToA pre-painted mini boxes until I suggested he check out some of the...

Personally I like the sound of both new books and will likely buy them both. I can't remember the last big urban adventure WotC published and a mega-dungeon is always fun. The two of them linked together makes it even better.

Exactly. Why should WotC open up all of their settings for people to profit off? Yes, WotC are currently leaving several setting sit dormant, but considering that all those settings contributed heavily to the demise of TSR, I'm not surprised they are trying to avoid repeating that mistake.

If you want to sell it on DM's Guild, yes, that's a limitation. However, there's nothing stopping you from publishing your 5E compatible product independently. There's also nothing stopping you from stealing liberally from any of the hundreds of official D&D setting products that have been...

Technically everyone can make up their own settings and adventures. Now they may not be anywhere as good as a published adventure or setting, but anyone with the ability to DM a game has the ability to make up their own stories and/or setting. Lack of time to create their own adventures or...

Castle Greyhawk?

When was the last time a Mystara product was published? Maybe a handful of pages in a Dragon article back in the early 2000's? In terms of actual stand-alone products, nothing since AD&D, so you're looking at 20+ years. I think that setting is all but dead. Whatever has been published for it is...

I’m not so sure about that. A lot of people I know that use Hirts Arts tiles treat it almost like LEGO, albeit LEGO that you have to cast up yourself. To create the same terrain pieces with a 3D printer you’d have to be able to have some sort of program that could allow you to design terrain...

How awkward was it after? I’m picturing a conversation like this: Wizard: Thanks for saving us Barbarian, I thought we were all goners. Barbarian: It was nothing. Just defending my friends with honour, like any Barbarian would. Wizard (pointing): Speaking of honour, do you think you might want...

To a certain extent yes. Some stuff just sounds awesome though. Just the idea of a dinosaur race through city streets sounds crazy. Similar epic encounters from our last campaign (PotA) include: - fighting a bad guy who had a shark tooth sword and rode into battle on a shark (no frikkin' laser...

The battle sounds pretty epic, but I did wonder about the NPC's name before I got to the punchline.

Last night in my D&D game we had one of the most fun and memorable sessions in recent memory. We’ve just started the Tomb of Annihilation campaign and are 2nd level, having only played a few sessions of the new campaign. We started the session in the middle of defending Chult villagers from...

As much as I believe that dice rolls are random and independent of each other, I have also gamed with a guy for over a decade now that seems to roll worse than everyone else. Maybe it's just confirmation bias that we take note of his bad rolls, more so than his good rolls, but it really feels...
