    D&D 5E (2014) Is the new setting Icewind Dale?

    Wasn't ID a distant third behind NWN and BG? Ah, yes, from earlier in this thread, the ID franchise sold just under 600K, the NWN and BG games sold over 2 million each.

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Announces An Impending Announcement: New Setting, Storyline

    Probably, yes, but as others have pointed out, it's more likely to be something from the past that's being redone / repackaged than something actually new, and so ID would fit there.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls is back on the D&D RPG Team

    Do I have 30 seconds to comply?

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Announces An Impending Announcement: New Setting, Storyline

    If Icewind Dale, I'll probably end up getting it, depending on what subclasses, backgrounds, etc are in there. I'll skip any MtG ones, like the Ravnica one or the other setting pdfs. It depends on which old setting to me. I might pick up a Greyhawk one, again for subclasses and the like mostly...

    That's just what I was thinking too, you beat me to the post. :P

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls is back on the D&D RPG Team

    That's pretty much where I am. It's something that could be just down to an inept attempt at dealing with the situation (though I'd be happier with an apology if that is what happened), but I'll keep an eye on things to decide whether I'm going to boycott in the future. If a pattern emerges...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls is back on the D&D RPG Team

    Well, someone certainly seems to be tragically offended that others want to keep out abusers, rapists, etc from our midst.

    Not a bad analogy at all. You should read up on what darjr is referring to: Missing stair - Wikipedia

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls is back on the D&D RPG Team

    Just because you chose to ignore what was presented doesn't mean it was just gossip. Discounting what people have posted in support of what they claim because it doesn't meet your own nebulous or particular requirements doesn't mean there isn't a convincing case, just that you're ignoring those...

    What are you reading this year 2020?

    Almost finished Rebecca Roanhorse's Black Sun (out later this year) which is excellent, set in a meso-American style fantasy setting. I just finished MR Carey's Book of Koli, which was ok but a little disappointing if I'm being honest. I'll pick up the second in the series when it's out, but...

    TORG: Eternity Who has played it?

    It's ok, but to be honest I prefer the original. It's mostly the new card decks for me - the simplicity of just one deck, with everything on the card, was a better fit to my mind than the three separate decks in Eternity. The special stuff (spells, psychic powers, miracles etc) are all now a...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    You should look up Luddites. Despite them now being associated with knee-jerk anti-technological groups, the original Luddites (Capital L, as followers of their possibly mythical hero Ned Ludd) were not anti-technology. They were a proto-union, workers who were being mistreated by shop owners...

    Good fantasy reads?

    The new Rebecca Roanhorse (Black Sun) is awesome. Meso-American-y feel, great characters. It's not out till later in the year, but it'll be worth the wait.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the new setting Icewind Dale?

    Dark Sun isn't a new settng though. It's an old one.

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Announcement?

    Is it just me, or does anyone else match up the alignment system to the faces in that set of 9? Janina is LG, Deborah is LN...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Announcement?

    Even worse, someone went through your paperclips and straightened them all out, then bent them roughly but not quite back into proper shape.

    WotC What's your dream release schedule?

    I'd be in favour of something like that: Instead of a core PHB, have a core PHB for each setting they're doing. Either that or a essentials style PHB for the core with just elf, dwarf, human, halfling and a few major classes (Cleric, Fighter, Mage, Thief, maybe Druid), and then setting-specific...

    D&D 5E (2014) Professions in 5e

    And yet you still claimed it was odd. Weird. Almost like an incompetent trolling attempt that rolled a natural 1.
