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

    I have this; picked it up at Target shortly before the movie came out. It's actually a reprint of the UK-published magazine Dungeons & Dragons Annual 2021--you can tell by some Anglicisms that creep in, the high volume of puzzles and games, and the focus on then-recent campaigns (so much Icewind...

    D&D Movie/TV Here Come The D&D Movie Gaming Tie-Ins!

    Doing some necro on this thread to ask: What happened with this? Did it ever come out? I can't find anything about it online after a cursory Googling, not a list of contents or an unboxing video or anything. Even the item page on the company website comes up as a 404 Error.

    E. Gary Gygax Sr. May Have Had Another, More Recent Will?

    EDIT: Didn't realize I was responding to a three-year-old comment. Move along, move along.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Schley hints at something bigger than Phandelver, The Book of Many Things, and even Planescape!

    I don't think they'll try something that drastic again any time soon after how badly they got burned with it on 4E. I'm in favor of the method Paizo employed in their edition transition: Advance it, say, a year (or five or whatever)--just long enough to keep whatever they wanted to stay in play...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    There's a comic book series called DIE (with an associated RPG whose crowdfunding is about to ship) that basically functions on this premise.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    I've got it on order from my local comic shop; I had hoped it would be out when I picked up my stuff this past week, but no such luck.

    ToV Project Black Flag Reveal Its Official Title: 'Tales of the Valiant'!

    LOL And I just thought the opposite! Perhaps it tested well.

    ToV Project Black Flag Reveal Its Official Title: 'Tales of the Valiant'!

    ...Not a great name. Did they publicly float any options?

    D&D Movie/TV DADHAT hits $80,856,963 box office

    Saw the movie again Thursday afternoon and liked it even more the second time (better sound system helped, too). Our auditorium was pretty bare, but it was a weekday matinee, so not unexpected; as we left, the place was crawling with families there to see the early showtimes of Mario. I suspect...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    I'd have to see it again to confirm, but I believe the dialogue never explicitly identifies him as Elminster (Simon says something to the effect of "You're my ancestor" or great-grandfather or something to that effect, as others have noted), so there's wiggle room there. Since it turned out to...

    Shadowdark Shadowdark looks so good!

    Misjudged the timing of the ending and wound up missing the crowdfunding. Anyone know if they're planning on Late Pledges?

    D&D Movie/TV D&D, Honor Among Thieves, Certified Fresh at Rotten Tomatoes

    My cautious optimism dating back to the teaser trailer continues to tick upward. It certainly sounds like something I will like. I was at Gary Con this past weekend and they were bussing people out to a theatre in Lake Geneva for free preview screenings on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but I...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I backed this project (we were so innocent in... 2015? Good grief), and I've thought this since the very beginning. I know it's a real word, but it makes for an awkward mouthful of a title, like you've just taken a bite of something when someone asks what it's called.

    WotC Teos aka Alphastream has been invited to the WotC D&D creators summit.

    Yup! I requested these a couple of years back after going down the rabbit hole of defunct "living" campaigns and he very promptly sent them along. Had the opportunity to play in his flumph heist game (you heard me) at Gamehole Con last year and had a grand time. A long-haul creator with an...

    D&D Movie/TV Guess the D&D Movie Opening Weekend Box Office Performance, and Win a Prize!

    John Wick 4 is out the week before and Super Mario Bros. is out less than a week later, so even if it turns out to be good, I'm afraid it might get lost in the new release shuffle. 😬 It may have to settle for second place, and maybe hope for some longevity bopping around the middle of the Top 10...

    D&D Movie/TV The two D&D movie prequel novels are out.

    I will almost certainly pick these up, despite being MANY years past "YA." The "junior novelization" also comes in a less-deluxe paperback version (i.e. no color photo section). It looks like my local Barnes and Nobles are only carrying the paperback. I already have the comic prequel on...

    D&D General Joe Manganiello’s Dungeons and Dragons table delivery is a sight to behold.

    And his Flash-Thompson-in-two-scenes-of-Spider-Man money! That's gotta be good for, like, stocking the mini-fridge, right?

    Critical Role Vox Machina sound track in Vinyl.

    I collect vinyl (and still buy CDs; those are what I listen to in the car) and am a sucker for colored and novelty vinyl, so those things intersecting with gaming represent a lot of my interests. I'm not the biggest fan of Riegel's (or Scanlan's) schtick, but I like the show and its instrumental...

    WotC What is the last WotC adventure you played in or DM'd?

    I've never DMed official WotC 5e content (mostly affiliated-but-not-official AL mods at conventions), but as a player I'm in the middle of a multi-year Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign. We started in late 2020 over Discord (not to my taste) and gradually transitioned to in-person as the COVID-19...

    D&D Movie/TV Honor Among Thieves Monster Minis Set

    It was very strange that they hyped a fifth "mystery mini" in the box ahead of this release, even made a big to-do about the announcement on social media, and it turned out to be... an intellect devourer? Maybe they were hoping to stoke chatter about the possibility of mind flayers being in the...
