    D&D 5E (2014) The Final Announcement from The Descent Live Stream: Eberron Hardcover

    Like last year, the musical bits were strange--careening between impressive and embarrassing, often within the same performance.

    The New Dungeons & Dragons Storyline for 2019 Leaked Ahead of Live Stream

    Not really! There is a warforged on the the cover. It was mostly him and Kate Welch getting closing-time sloppy about the end of the stream, prolonging the reveal, and taunting the Game of Thrones watchers who weren't there to see it. Presumably the content will differ from the Wayfinder's Guide...

    The New Dungeons & Dragons Storyline for 2019 Leaked Ahead of Live Stream

    I know it's all just marketing, but I've fallen for the hype on this event every year that they've done it. I'm going to buy the books anyway, I don't normally watch streaming games, and my Twitch account gets used for basically just this, but the spectacle of all those people coming together...

    The One Ring 2nd Edition Is Coming!

    In this thread at RPG Geek-- https://rpggeek.com/thread/2204543/cubicle-7-announces-one-ring-second-edition--they confirm that this is the same product, delayed to update it to 2nd edition. They don't indicate if it's still going to be a Kickstarter project or not, though.

    Bethesda Comments On Accusations Of Plagiarizing D&D Adventure

    "Alleged plagiarism." Get a spine, Bethesda, it wasn't like it was subtle. (Yes, yes, I know: "liability" and all, but still...)

    Traveller 5th Edition Reprint Is Kickstarting

    Damn, about time! I've checked their website periodically the last few years looking for this, only to find no books, but... CD-ROM? Um, pass. Long overdue reprint.

    Traveller 5th Edition Reprint Is Kickstarting

    As recompense, we'll let you have one (1) "characters all die or go insane" joke on the next Call of Cthulhu article, or two (2) "virgins in Mom's basement" jokes on any given RPG article. Please use responsibly.

    The Washington Post Weighs In On D&D!

    If I'm remembering their appearance on the Stream of Many Eyes right, to play her character she uses a bit of makeup, including a fake beard. EDIT: Just looked it up, and that's Sujata Day's character, Ichabod: https://www.girlsgutsgloryrpg.com/ichabod

    The Washington Post Weighs In On D&D!

    Yup! As a comic book geek, our equivalent is the (mercifully declining) "POW! WHAM! BIFF! Comics aren't just for kids anymore!" line. Writers trying to "write their way in" to an article fall for it every time.

    Of Ships & The Sea DM Screen & Official Vinyl Sword Coast Map

    Baseless speculation: Since the screen is more generically titled as "Of Ships and the Sea," rather than taking on the name of the book to which it's attached (as has been the case for the other GF9 screens), maybe this indicates it's meant to be used for multiple upcoming themed supplements...

    GameHole Con Hints At An "As Yet Unannounced Setting" for D&D This Year

    Ah, I see, my old foe, Facebook! No wonder I didn't know. I seem to remember Omaha being well-represented at last year's GHC (hell, you and I probably interacted at some point). I'm all signed up now (again), at any rate.

    GameHole Con Hints At An "As Yet Unannounced Setting" for D&D This Year

    I DMed AL at last year's Gamehole Con, but this is the first I'm hearing about this. Should I have gotten an email?

    What Are These D&D 5E Notes In Monte Cook Games' Numenera Shipments?

    Yup, my money's on something in the vein of Adventures in Middle-Earth. Adventures in the Ninth World!

    The Mountain Goats Announces Dungeons & Dragons-Inspired Album

    This makes sense, as Darnielle has always had pretty strong nerd tendencies ("Lovecraft in Brooklyn," anyone?). They haven't done an outright D&D album yet, but the band Thee Oh Sees has albums called Orc and Carrion Crawler; they're extremely prolific, so I'm convinced they'll eventually just...
