My brother is really looking forward to a fan edit of all three movies once they are out, editing out the more egregious Jackson additions to stay closer to what the good Professor wrote. I'd like to see something like that. And, as others have said above, the way the Council of the Wise is...

What I don't like about the Hobbit movies is the extent that Jackson's material is overwhelming content actually from Professor Tolkien's book. The more overblown action pieces he throws in and more made-up characters he adds, the less and less the movies resemble the source material. That...

My latest two gaming purchases were: 1. 5E Monster Manual 2. out of print D&D gazeteer for the Northern Reaches

I had to vote Other. I used to love the Realms back in my middle and high school days, reading the novels and both running and playing in FR campaigns. I didn't play any FR in College but I came back to the Realms for 3. Once I returned though, I didn't get back into the novels again...

Like: the old school vibe stressing story and creativity. I'm really glad they've dialed back the mechanics and brought back narrative and RP to the forefront. Dislike: WOTC's silence about D&D products after the Dungeon Master's Guide.

I thought it was an incredibly lame episode, for the same reasons Richards lists above. You'd think they would have tried to get some good teleplays together for Capaldi's intro year.

If memory serves, it was on one of Mike Mearls' WOTC blogs. I don't think it was Twitter information or interview stuff.

Shadow: The general consensus online is that it's like a "soft" reboot. They are rolling back some of the most horrible crud from 4E Realms but they aren't wiping out any history. Everything still happened from 1st ed Realms on and the timeline still advances past 4E. So basically, advance...

I really liked it. It was a strong pilot. And as a Flash comic fan, I appreciated all the nods Geoff johns wrote in.

I understand what you are saying Hitcher. They want players to experience the Realms the way the first Dragonlance fans did...by playing games in the setting. I get that. If that was always going to be the model though, why did they do the Sundering and hype it the way they did? Because they...

Of the 4 things posted there, 3 are licensed products that WOTC didn't do anything for. The one they probably have, the collboration with Sasquatch all we have are the titles of two books. That's it...eveyhting else is in the vague rumor or we don't know category. Taht's what I'm talking...

Interesting.....

There are a few problems with the low-key route they are taking with the Realms right now: 1. New fans aren't being given anything interesting to draw them to the Realms. And 2. Established fans went through the much-hyped Sundering which promised (in PR anyway) to be a big event and to fix...

Thank dog: I don't believe I said they should announce things years in advance. They can talk alot about their plans, etc. without having to talk concretes on individual products.

I think halfling rogue might be right on what WOTC's PR strategy seems to be. However.... I'm not sure secrecy is the way to go, especially since this "silent" period now follows up a period of fan goodwill and relatively open communication during the playtest period. There's a disconnect...

I don't understand the logic of having the Sundering series making great changes in the Realms but the FR not getting updated before WOTc started using it as backgrund for their first adventures. Makes no sense. It seems like they should have at least provided a capstone or soemthing on the...

Once the DMG is out, what is WOTC's plan for D&D going forward? Aside from general comments along the lines of "We/re going to take our time and get things right.." I haven't been able to find anything online where WOTc is talking about their plans for the future. What's the plan for the...

Horrible episode. Just horrible.

They haven't explained their plans, neither in the short-term nor in the long-term either. What's the plan for what used to be the magazines Dungeon and Dragon? What's the plan for campaign settings? What's the plan for future game releases after the DMG? What's the plan for novels? What...

GX Sigma raises some good points. I haven't read Hoard of the Dragon Queen because I'm playing in it but my GM asked me in veiled terms some of those questions because he wanted an FR old hand's take. My guess is some clarification may come with the Monster Manual release...and if and when...
