So in essence, US and Canada will be able to get physical books at the same time as DnD Beyond preorders?

Greyhawk would feel like a fallback to D&D 3rd edition... also not sure if that would make sense considering 5e's initial focus on Forgotten Realms? On the other hand, nothing else would say 50th anniversary like Greyhawk. The Nentir Vale would be a nice callback to D&D 4e. So far, concepts and...

Is it just me, or does anyone else see the Nentir Vale in chapter 8 as surprise setting?

Oh... the cover is bad, I didn't recognize Kitiara and Tanis at all. I think the heydays of Dragonlance are over. If I remember correctly, the line wasn't that popular during the AD&D 2nd Edition run either. For 3rd edition WotC even licensed it away to Margret Weis Games. I wouldn't be...

Late reply :) I would have expected a GenCon release.

I suspect that the PHB design took longer than expected. They weren't even keeping to the originally announced schedule of the playtests.

I loved Dragonlance in the 1980s. I find it interesting that Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragonqueen and the board game didn't sell well. Which doesn't surprise me. They tried to pitch Dragonlance as "D&D at War". And I never saw Dragonlance that way. Dragonlance showed back then how special a...

So Hasbro has financial troubles and decides that the best way to deal with them is by selling one of the cash cows? On the fifties anniversary of that property no less? I highly doubt that. That makes sense in the very short term only, but in the long run.

But do the projects have purple prose?

"The frequency of million-dollar TTRPGs will decrease" - Those haven't relied on D&D in the past. Why should they decrease? The most successful TTRPG Crowdfundings were/are by completely separate systems from D&D 5e. This seems to be a highly subjective opinion piece. Honestly, the author lost...

Also quick question: Shadowdark is out in PDF already, so it wouldn't qualify?

Is Daggerheart really scheduled for next year and not 2025?

Exactly my thoughts. It would make sense as a callback, and also the Nentir Vale has already proven that it can fit into a DMG. Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms or Blackmoor would just be too big to fit in a single chapter of the DMG.

I would love to see an EN World article or interview about Shadowdark.

Honestly, looking at the most recent ORC announcement, WotC is sitting in an empty building. From what I can tell, every major publisher except one and every middling publisher has jumped ship.Basically, WotC can put anything they want into the OGL 1.2, because apparently nobody will be using...

I have an issue with „obscene“. This can be used to ban the depiction of same gender couples or same gender kisses from OGL products. „Obscenity laws“ have been/are one of the main avenues to battle LGBTQIA+ people in the past and present. Who guarantees that a future Hasbro/WotC management...

Well, I think this is quickly reaching the point where someone on the executive level has to take the blame and step down to save the brand. If that happens, and then the create an OGL 1.0b quickly and turn it over to a foundation like Paizo is planning to do, and making sure WotC nor any other...

To me this all looks terribly self-inflicted by the creative companies. Everyone currently is/was jumping on the train to profit from D&D 5e. On the positive side, using D&D 5e as vehicle increased the customer base. Kickstarters who would have struggled to get a five digit pledge amount could...

Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition is also a likely contender. The Walking Dead Universe RPG will be released by Free League as far as I know. One DnD is most likely winner for most anticipated RPG 2024. But that‘s also the release year, so I guess it‘s a bit premature to put it on the...

Are you sure that Hunter: The Vigil 2nd Edition is published by Renegade Games and uses D&D 5e as a system? ;) I think the publisher is rather Onyx Path Publishing, and the system is Chronicles of Darkness.
