    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    As someone who works on the campus of a small private university, I can assure you EVERY COLLEGE has plenty of those. At any rate, allow me to join those backing this idea. I can say from direct experience that UW-Milwaukee and -Madison archives are more than qualified to house this stuff (as...

    Invisible Sun: Return of the Black Cube

    I was really intrigued by the concept of this the first time around, but couldn't justify the price of the Kickstarter. A lot of the supplements are easy to find cheap online, but not the box. Have any of you played this? Did you find it worth the investment?

    D&D General Adventure Titles

    Cheating a bit using an OSR game here, but Dungeon Crawl Classics has a lot of highly evocative adventure titles that are very much indicative of what you're getting with the game, in terms of both mood and content; with titles like Imprisoned in the God-Skull and Moon-Slaves of the Cannibal...

    D&D 5E (2014) Deck of Many Things Release Delayed

    Polygon got ahold of executive producer Kyle Brink and got his perspective on the recall/postponement, which yields the notable pull quote "I cannot, in good conscience, ship this stock." I can wait; this release cycle has been pretty tight for me anyway.

    D&D 5E (2014) OAR #8

    Yup! I'll be in Madison, WI this weekend for Gamehole Con (I'm semi-local anyway) and I fully intend to stop by their physical store and pick up the ones I'm missing that are still in stock (though, yes, their shipping is usually very good).

    Planescape The Pen & Ink Drawings of Tony DiTerlizzi up for signed preorder.

    Eye of the Beholder: The Art of Dungeons & Dragons, presently available on Amazon Prime (er, or rather, "Free with ads" via Freevee). I backed the Kickstarter and was pleased with how it turned out.

    D&D 5E (2014) OAR #8

    This has been my major issue (well, one of) with Amazon for a long time. As someone who buys a lot of pretty delicate things, including large, expensive hardcover books, the price is often not worth the gamble of subpar packing and shipping.

    D&D General Is DnD being mothballed?

    Mostly this, I think. Even publishers and commentators I like and respect have been pretty clearly burned by the OGL debacle; lots of their comments on YouTube and Twitch as they try to transition away from the OGL have strong "My ex wasn't that hot anyway" energy.

    D&D General Is DnD being mothballed?

    If it makes you feel any better, I definitely say "Let's get some ale!" all the time in real life.

    RPG Sales of 2023

    How exactly does this work if you have products on the DTRPG sites? Do you have to submit for consideration? Are you invited to participate? Do they look for a keyword for inclusion?

    TSR settings sales numbers from Ben Riggs, starting with Lankmar, Maztica, Al-Qadim and Planescape!

    Third party, but Adventures in Rokugan might scratch the OA itch. I can't speak to how well it threads the needle of Asian fantasy themes and modern sensibilities, though.

    D&D 5E (2014) Planescape shows up in the wild. Tease from Chris Perkins.

    I, too, was shocked by the dark turn that  Toon took.

    D&D 5E (2014) Planescape shows up in the wild. Tease from Chris Perkins.

    In an attempt to change the tenor of this thread a bit, I'll just say that I'm looking forward to seeing what's in this release. Planescape is more or less a blank slate for me. In the 2e era I was pretty much all-in on the Forgotten Realms (though I flirted with Dragonlance) and I didn't have a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Poll: Which Official Adventures Have You Run or Played in To Completion?

    I've played individual chapters and tie-in adventures (mainly through Adventurers League play), but actually completed very few of the published 5E adventures. The only ones I've seen through to the end are Dragon Heist, a campaign I joined about halfway through anyway, and my current campaign...

    Hey, I'm not glad about it either.

    D&D 5E (2014) Book: Inside the World of Dungeons and Dragons

    Sadly, I'm aware, but I still think MOST people know they're rubbish, even if A LOT more than is healthy take it as gospel truth (pun intended).

    D&D 5E (2014) Book: Inside the World of Dungeons and Dragons

    I think MOST people (thankfully) appreciate Chick tracts ironically, at least today, but they were certainly intended straight-faced. Quite a few years back (Chick was still alive), I looked into acquiring "Dark Dungeons," which had gone out of print...but you could get a run of it reprinted if...
