    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    I think a lot of you are still missing the point. We don't need a new book just to throw stuff at us we don't know like "Cormyr has been fighting off waves of vicious three-headed beavers and needs heroes to investigate the problem." The big change in the 5th edition is that the Realms are...

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    Also a fine recommendation. I only listed the other two because I don't have or know as much about the 2nd edition campaign setting. Thank you for helping me illustrate my point. We have three well written and comprehensive campaign guides for the Forgotten Realms to choose from (plus online...

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    Valid questions but I'd like to answer with 3 points of my own. 1) How many people in this thread do not own any Campaign Guide from any edition of the Forgotten Realms, and need one because they're completely new to D&D? I'm guessing not many. Not on EN World at least. 2) For the people who...

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    The title of this post is misleading and inaccurate. It should not say The Realms WILL Be Updated. It should read The Realms ARE Being Updated. As in presently. Not the future. Nowhere in those tweets are they promising a book or supplement. They're clearly stating the truth. The Realms are...

    FFG's STAR WARS License Renewed - and Includes Episode 7!

    That's not a fair assessment. The 'small changes' do not require you to go over all the rules with a fine-toothed comb. A skill description in one book is identical to the same skill in another. The races don't change. The equipment doesn't change. But each book offers a new skill that the other...

    The Hellcow Report

    Technically, I think Nentir Vale (4th Edition core) would be the newest setting, but Eberron would be the newest that takes a strict departure from traditional D&D and has an extensive line of releases.

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    What I still find most funny about this though is that he's explaining why he wants to make a Pathfinder mobile app. Really? I'll admit it. I'm a D&D player at heart. I love 5th edition. But I probably wouldn't waste my time with a D&D mobile app. much less a Pathfinder mobile app. If this is...

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    Plus, D&D already has two active MMOs out there. It's great that Paizo raised 1+ mil for its MMO, but for a project the size and complexity of an MMO, that's probably just enough to get your foot in the door. Double Fine raised nearly 3.5 million in a record breaking kickstarter for an...

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    Let's try this then. Hoard of the Dragon Queen. D&D Adventure. Aug 19, 2014. $22.41 on Amazon. Rank #1,777 Pathfinder Adventure Path: Iron Gods Part 1. Pathfinder Adventure. Sep 9, 2014. $15.96 on Amazon. Rank #64,513. But I'll concede your points about direct sales. This is the thing to me...

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    The price difference is only 38 cents. I don't think the 38 cents is going to make a significant difference. Especially since the amount that Amazon shaves off the full retail price is largely based on how well it sells. Bigger sellers = bigger orders = bigger discounts. If Pathfinder's sales...

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    Here's some numbers that may be more worth comparing. The 5th Edition Player's Handbook is currently the 104th best selling book on Amazon. The Pathfinder Player's Handbook is currently 3,006th. Now granted the two books were released 5 years apart which is going to be a considerable factor...

    What Does a RED DRAGON'S ROAR Sound Like?

    So we've got monster sounds and monster scents. Quick, we need something we can lick to get the taste of RPG worlds while we play. Someone get something on kickstarter, pronto!
