    D&D 5E (2014) DARKSUN - Celik !

    I found a reference on Dragonsfoot that seems to suggest that Celik was detailed in the expanded and revised boxed set, back in 1995, but a quick Google search for a map scan turns up nothing. Good luck!

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    I am a comparatively recent convert to the Forgotten Realms, and I don't ever intend to run an in-depth campaign there, but when there is a Spelljammer adventure path coming out twice a year for three years and I feel obligated to buy them all to get the setting material I will feel your pain...

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    Okay, quick caveat: I said I understood what Wizards was doing. I did not say that I think they are executing their plan /well/. Nevertheless, this is nothing new for the hobby or even for D&D in particular. Organized play has always had a storyline, it's just never been /the/ storyline...

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    They're doing it right now. There are no secrets. They're updating the Forgotten Realms through hardback adventure paths and organized play events, and when they move on to the next setting, they'll do the same there. Maybe you could ask a specific question and I will try to answer it? I...

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    I really feel they have. It's crystal clear to me and has been for most of the last year.

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    We are actually totally in agreement, Mistwell; I'm not sure why you felt the need to say I was parsing Wizards' statements horribly. You have me totally misread -- I think it's /great/ that there won't be an FRCS5. I'm ready for a new approach. I could not be more enthusiastic if you used an...

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    Ah, good eyes. You caught me using inflammatory rhetoric, and poorly. :) I was trying to offset the unsubstantiated all-caps "WILL" in the article title. My apologies, it will happen again. This is rank supposition, and... ...this is just sloppy. Wizards considers the products they have...

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    I popped into this thread expecting to eat crow for being so sure Wizards would stick to their "no setting books" strategy, but man, am I laughing. Still no confirmation of an FRCS5! I love this dynamic they have going on; I just can't get enough of it. Mearls is like the Morpheus of the RPG...

    D&D Starter Set at Walmart

    If I were working for Hasbro in advertising right now, I would at the very least pitch the question of a shockvertising campaign in certain American markets. A few well placed "missteps" and D&D could be a campaign trail issue in 2016. There's a risk of backfire, but man, if it worked, they'd...

    D&D Starter Set at Walmart

    Because finding abominations in the sight of the gods at Walmart is not surprising.

    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    Just about the only statement that surprised me in this interview is when Nathan says that the feedback they are getting /now/ suggests that people are more interested in homebrewing than adventure paths, so they might even drop to one AP a year. I mean, that's not news, as I understand it...

    D&D Starter Set at Walmart

    Ah, to have never seen a Walmart. Such bliss. I saw the first D&D4 Starter Set (the 2008, 4th-Edition-branded one, not the red box replica) at Toys R Us once. That made me happy. But I've never seen any D&D books or boxed sets at a Walmart or Target, let alone anywhere but a hobby shop or...

    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    Well, first of all, I totally agree that's what Nathan is saying, because that's what everyone at Wizards has been saying. Once again, APs and web articles and nothing else = not news. Sorry, FRCS fans, for the eighty hojillionth time, /you're boned/. But I would caution anyone from using...

    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    I forgive Nathan the corporate hyperbole in saying D&D has stopped being a tabletop game because of this: That'll do, Nate. That'll do.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Multiverse as setting - do you do it?

    Well, sort of. All of the individual elements of the Spelljammer concept are inspired by medieval scientific theory, that's true. But no one in history ever proposed Spelljammer or even a close analogue as the framework by which all of those elements are held together, and it is a vastly and...
