    New Gothic D&D Storyline To Be Announced On Monday

    Interesting. Almost exactly two months before expected release. Fits with what perkins said about sustaining interest. So 'Giants do shakespeare' might have been a hoax? Or pushed back? Does look like Ravenloft. I really hope the plot isn't 'Strahd tries to break through to the realms.'

    Adventurers League Adventures Now Available To All

    If you buy every one though, it's likely to be similar in cost to the same as an adventure path (once you add it all up). Which is nice and glossy. I get this, I've run RPGs in a shop environment for 5 years or more. But I can get by running something I have made/paid for years ago. I don't...

    Adventurers League Adventures Now Available To All

    Thing I'm wondering - as someone who runs. Why would I run an adventurer's league adventure as opposed to my own? Before, it was free content. Now, I'd have to either pay or make something up to run in store. I'd just make something up to avoid paying. New players barely have a concept of AL...

    Oops. Yep, Sorry.

    Your most anticipated games of 2016?

    YES. Also The Cosmic Handbook for mutants and Masterminds as a book as well as (probably) their collected Rogues gallery & Atlas of Freedom books.

    Unauthorized And Unlicensed But Sometimes Acceptable RPGs?

    I think the real problem might be that copywrite has become something that has expanded years beyond it's original intent. The amount of good stuff that's come from expired IPs (Sherlock/League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Graphics/Actung Cthulhu) you wonder that if we gave people 25 years and...

    D&D 4E 4E DnD Insider Moving; No Longer Available To New Subscribers

    But they already have them, those people are already subscribed. Would bringing out more up to date tools that replace the need for a book actually add that many more, or are all the peeps interested in the subscription model already paying for it? I'm not actually sure that's an answerable...

    D&D 4E 4E DnD Insider Moving; No Longer Available To New Subscribers

    If you keep paying them for 4e material they don't mind, but they're going to want new players and therefore subscribers to be playing 5th. Given evidence that points to people paying subscriptions for character builder once for a whole group rather than buy multiple handbooks, is there any...

    The 'New' World Of Darkness Makes Way For Chronicles Of Darkness And The World Of Darkness

    Thanks for clarifiying. This makes me feel really good about the endeavour. My love for what Onyx path have done with WoD is immense but I don't play the NWOD/COD[Is that what we're going with? Isn't that call of duty?], so I was worried you'd gained one license and lost the other. Obviously I'm...

    The 'New' World Of Darkness Makes Way For Chronicles Of Darkness And The World Of Darkness

    My concern is this: If the world of darkness (formerly Owod) is no longer being published by onyx path (I'm reading between the lines): are we still likely to see the quality of product/support? Or is it all going to be about computer game branding? Are we ever going to see , for example...

    It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like RAVENLOFT

    I really love what's been produced so far but if I had one gripe, it's this. A new unknown villain that represented a new addition to the D&D mythos could be badass. But instead we've already been told that, for example if we get to Greyhawk it'll be Iuz. SO any ravenloft AP- no mystery, it'll...

    It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like RAVENLOFT

    My guess is if they do release this, it'd be next year at halloween time. That might be what Chris Perkins was on about when he was going on about the best time to release something like that. I might be wrong but I'd guess it won;t necessarily be the next ap.

    Some help locating a gamer.

    So, as a first thread, this one's a little odd. So, back when I was deciding weather to get back into D&D with 5E, began reading a blog known as Power Score. It was so good that it very quickly became a blog that I checked every day. Any way me and some others followed it for a while and as...

    D&D Goes to Work Part II: Professional Game Masters

    I demo-ed games for our games company at conventions. Technically I got my entry fee and travel paid, so it was pretty badass. I got to do indiecon twice, which was pretty a pretty cool weekend both years running. If anyone in england wants to pay me to DM games for them, I'm totally open to...

    [UPDATED AGAIN] Gary Gygax's Widow & TSR Settle Trademark Dispute

    They should just release a new magazine called "Sons of Gygax! [Tagline] No Relation! Except Of Course, For The Fact We're Actually Related...God This Is Awkard, Could You Just Buy The Magazine Already?". Ludicrous. Soon we'll have have to refer to him as Mr.X when we post for fear of legal...

    WotC's Chris Perkins Talks About... Everything! Upcoming Storylines, Products, Staffing, Other World

    This is largely conjecture. Also, a decline in interest in additions due to format is not equivalent to an lack of passion for the hobby as a whole - in fact I would that being turned off of additoonal becuase it doesn't suit your particular tastes is an abundance of passion for the hobby. But...

    Which D&D Settings Do You Play In?

    It could instead of course be that more people are actually playing homebrew or realms. I wonder about the realms. I make homebrew game ideas all the time and they're always different from standard fantasy. The last one was 'caveman tribe against Alien invaders in icy ruins of once great...

    Which D&D Settings Do You Play In?

    Yeah, I thank my lucky stars I married a gamer, it means pretty much all discussion eventually revolve around RP at some point. We met when she was working in the FLGS. Also, given that she's a second generation RP gamer (her dad played in university when D&D came out and still does) our kid is...

    Which D&D Settings Do You Play In?

    Man this would have been harder a couple of years ago. I was in like five games all in different worlds. Since my kid, I'm only playing my wife's homebrew (for D&D, we've managed to fit a few other games in, just)
