Seems tailor made for a long rest, to me.

And the Kryptgarden Forest, location of Corruption in Kryptgarden, is in the west. I AM SENSING A THEME.

Good to know that they're really taking advantage of the length and breadth of the D&D multiverse. :)

Hm. Okay. For what it is worth, I believe that you do not think ex-employees of WotC have a "Curse of Doom reputation." I can get that much from your tone. But make no mistake, you are failing to communicate that point in text, even in your entirely self-manufactured back and forth...

If it's not what you said, you did a pretty terrible job of saying what you did say.

I think the only classes the game needs are Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Psion, Rogue, Wizard, and Summoner. Everything else would be better served as a class archetype or feat. So that leaves Psion and Summoner undetailed. I sincerely hope that D&D5 inundates us with class archetypes...

Okay, but what are we talking about here? Are you suggesting that no one who has ever worked at WotC can write a good adventure? That they are all somehow tainted? Because that knocks a lot -- and I mean a LOT -- of RPG companies out of the running, including the folks behind both Pathfinder...

It's worth noting that Wizards is not actually writing these adventures, and that anyone with enough investment in the history of the game to know about Wizards' past failings is also going to know that. I apologize if that sounds dismissive; it's not my intention to suggest you don't know what...

Yeah, I hear that a lot. If it were that black and white I think Paizo's model would look a lot different and Goodman Games would not have had the capital (financial or otherwise) to be pitching their own RPG these days. But that's neither here nor there. An AP is not a module. It's a...

If Wizards marketed it right, the AP could easily outsell. It has legs far beyond die-hard FR fans. But historically Wizards' marketing has been sub par. The FRCS5 is the safer bet, due to the sheer number of those die-hard FR fans who will buy it regardless of how anemically Wizards pitches it.

No, no, you're doing it wrong. If you use shears instead of a sword you get three blocks of wool instead of one and you can reshear the sheep later. If you're taking dungeon mastery advice from the Hound it's going to take more than this thread to save you. I think that in most cases that...

I just hope these guys are as excited about what they're doing as their marketing strategy makes them sound. Because the hype engine is absurd, but as long as it reflects what's going on in R&D I can ignore a little absurdity.

I've recently discovered that it isn't about the racial and class options; it's about the players. I absolutely agree with the posters in this thread who have said that the most important thing is that the dungeon master be comfortable with the verisimilitude of his setting, and that he...

Has anyone else noticed what a great Gunslinger the Battlemaster Fighter makes, right out of the box? Obviously, you have to swap medium and heavy armor proficiency for firearms, but after that you have a free artisan tool proficiency (for a gunsmith's kit), an enemy reading ability that might...

I really like Wizards' stated strategy of giving us our setting, adventure, and monster material through APs and supporting player and dungeon master options through free downloadable focus articles. Clean and efficient.

Well, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about FR, but we do seem to be arguing the same point from different angles. Without knowing more about exactly how that was going to pan out I'm hard-pressed to admit that I'm wrong or prosecute my point. So I'll just let it be before the...

Greyhawk, yes, no doubt. Forgotten Realms as a setting predates fantasy roleplaying by about a decade. It was a narrative beast long before it was an expository one. Yup. ...What? Nothing to see here.

This is a little off topic, now, but the Faction War was not the first time in the history of Sigil that the Lady of Pain ejected factions from its streets. I absolutely agree that factions would eventually return to Sigil, but assuming they will be the same ones is in direct contravention to...
