And you have to justify devoting resources to that project instead of something for D&D, which will almost always be more likely to produce better return on the same resources. IMO, this is why we'll probably never see another non-D&D ever again from WotC.

Any news from last night's What's Up with Pinnacle seminar?

They were removed from the cosmology in 3E, along with the quasi-elemental planes (which have never returned). If you haven't paid close attention to 5E, which I haven't :), this might look like a return.

Yes. There are games where crafting can be interesting, but it's hard to fit that into the unbounded, low-cost magic paradigm of D&D.

The blurb makes it sound like they're trying to avoid spoilers for anything beyond the first couple of chapters of Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Odd choice for a 40-year-old book, but OK. :)

If that's what you're talking about, then Essentials was meant to be 'evergreen' in the sense that 'retailers can stock these 10 products and point people to them in perpetuity as a starting point', with the subtext of 'the numbered PHB, DMG, MM series didn't work out as well as we expected.'...

Well, that depends. Are we using the definition of edition used by TSR and most other RPG companies--"revise the rules, fix the trouble spots, and require some level of conversion or rebuilding"--or the definition of edition adopted by WotC--"Scrap all prior stock, condemn the immediately...

Dungeons & Dragons 2024, brought to you in part by the National Institute for Co-Ordinated Experiments? ;)

Does this mean we get 4E back? :D

A substantial but not groundbreaking revision Of an edition that I never found compelling Of a game which I'm concluding I'm fundamentally ill-suited to playing From a company that seems to regard me with hostility and contempt. Yeah, I think I'll pass again. :D

Rippers and Rippers Resurrected for Savage Worlds use the Ripper as a foundational concept for their Victorian Gothic action-horror escapades.

So that would be Arcane ... as distinct from Essence, Channeling, or Mentalism. :)

Jonathan Tweet has done repeated fundraising (through a Bundle of Holding and sales from his private collection) for Planned Parenthood. Whether you recognize that as harmful or not will depend on your perspective.

Perhaps you should demand certain oaths or ceremonies of people participating on the forum or in games? Maybe a sign or certificate that they hold Acceptable Views?

Irrelevant. :):devil:

Here's the actual text from Strategic Review Vol 1, Issue 2: It may go back to the OD&D books or the Chainmail Fantasy Supplement.

There are about half a dozen different hobbies and rules sets going under the moniker of D&D, and the only one I feel I fit into is the late 1E/BECMI/pre-WotC 2E era, and even that's iffy. Part of that is that I'm not willing to worship any of the idols set up by the major factions of the hobby. :)

Thanks for the update. I guess I was wrong, so apparently Gygax was already planning to include 'fine shading' as he moved from D&D to AD&D. It's of note that he says in the main text of the article that the entire game would need to be rewritten to fit with this planar structure, which is...

Lots of 2E stuff got multiple print runs; it may be a minority of the whole (mostly core game supplements and essential setting items), but you can see it in logo changes for both TSR and the AD&D game, company address changes after the WotC takeover, format changes in some cases (the...
