I know that there has been a lot of talk about weather the official campaign settings will have any of the flavor of the "points of light" default setting mentioned in many of the designers posts about 4th edition. While I have seen a lot of logical reasons for why this is only the "default"...

I'm actually kind of hopeful in this new paradigm, with a few reservations. My hopes are (and I think the dragon example actually does show things moving in the right direction) that monsters will have time to do something that feels right for the monster while not doing something that isn't...

But how would throwing out the Blood War and the antagonism between the Nine Hells and the Abyss be true to their statements that "its the same game, we're just getting rid of what doesn't work." Does a natural division in fiends really cause a game rule problem? Plus, eliminating the...

I've been wrong about several things in the last week, so this is just one more. Let me say, publicly, that I'm sorry to have repeated this misquote and to have used it as an argument against trusting statements that might have been issued by WOTC. I was wrong, and I'm sorry to have repeated...

I was planning on picking up some of the 3.5 books that interested me but that I missed when they first came out, like Heroes of Horror, and perhaps Expedition to Ravenloft, and Expedition to the Demonweb Pits, and I wasn't sure about Elder Evils or Exemplars of Evil, but I may have checked them...

As someone that is normally a Forgotten Realms fan, but who was a player in several long running Greyhawk games when I was a younger man (including playing my character from 1st edition in Fate of Istus into 2nd edition), and one that remembers From the Ashes, I have to say that I was really...

Its a good point. I'm still upset because I feel like the information that was released earlier this year was intentionally misleading (big news always at D&D Xperience, 4th is a long way off), but as far as the system itself . . . I've been onboard for FR for the last 20 years, so I'm not...

I agree . . . if 3.5 Oriental Adventures book ever gets made, don't worry about setting it anywhere, just like the PH and the other core books. If you want to give sample religions and the like, if you have to used "Generified" Kara-Tur religions, but don't go into setting information at all if...

The following is Purple Dragon Knight's List, from Candlekeep, as he is unable to attend the "board meeting:" Faiths of Faerun: as Knight Errant described Stout Folk of Faerun: a 90-pages Realms book on dwarves... long overdue. Forgotten Folk of Faerun: a 90-pages Realms book on gnomes...

Also, while I'm thinking about it, while I like the "Campaign Option" books, I think you would have to be careful how many you release in a given year. You can easily glut the market and cut your own profit base if you threw a bunch of these into the same year, but if you slipped, say...

I understand that WOTC can't fully support a wide range of Campaign Settings, and my main interests lie in the Forgotten Realms, but a "Campaign Option" single shot book of Greyhawk, Planescape, Ravenloft, or Dark Sun would likely get some of my money as well. But I wouldn't be likely to follow...

I understand that, but part of the point is that only the major deities would be given these, and that the main emphasis would be on providing options to more closely model the old specialty priests. Some of them can be done fairly easily with a domain and some feats, or as you mention...

Faiths of Faerun: You know of the gods, their plans, their hopes and dreams. But what do you know about their churches, followers, rituals, and myths. This sourcebook focuses on the various churches of Faerun, the separate orders of the churches, the most infamous heresies, and presents...

Erik Mona said that Dungeon and Dragon were both doing really, really well over at Paizo's boards, so is not a matter of cutting underperforming products. Likely they (WOTC) want to actually make the money from the subscription instead of the money from the license fee, and they want the...
