TSR published D&D for 23 years (1974 to 1997). Wizards has been publishing it for 28 (1997 to today). Wizards has released three major editions (and two revisions) in that time. D&D now is definitely more Wizards' creation than TSR's.

Reported.

Not a lawyer, but to me that seems like something that should have been a patent if anything.

I mean, there is a starter set coming later this year (Heroes of the Borderlands). Unless tariffs mess things up (because that's exactly the kind of thing they'd make in China).

I think it was established in one of the tariff threads that D&D books are mostly printed in the USA, but box sets and assorted accessories tend to be made in China because the US doesn't have the production facilities to make "mixed" products. That is, unless you want to get all the parts...

No, the Janitor left in 2001.

Sort of. At one point there was a Basic D&D where the point was that you'd "graduate" into Advanced D&D. Eventually, Basic/Expert and later Basic/Expert/Companion/Master/Immortal D&D would morph into a game that was technically separate, partially because that allowed TSR to maintain the fiction...

I'm pretty sure the Chinese government doesn't control what Morrus is charging for his products. If he prints them in China, they may pressure the factory to lower the price to compensate for the tariffs (which would then likely have an indirect effect). But that doesn't seem likely – only about...

James Wyatt has been there since at least the 3e days – he was fairly instrumental in turning Eberron from the 100-page "bible" Keith Baker wrote into an actual product. If Keith is the Ed Greenwood of Eberron, then James is the Jeff Grubb. He did spend a few years over on the cardboard side...

Right. "You take too long, so now the guard is coming around the corner" is an interesting consequence of failing a Lockpicking check. But, at least back in 3e (and today in Pathfinder 2), some tasks are set to have a high DC but allow retries, as a means of seeing how long something takes...

I'm pretty sure James Jacobs is the Greenwood of Golarion – as a kitchen sink setting with highly distinct regions a lot of other people have had their fingers in the pie, but the bones of the setting are his. Netflix!She-Ra is absolutely amazing and perfect. I'll take She-Ra over Conan any day...

PBTA isn't my cup of tea, but my understanding is that this is very much a deliberate design decision on their part. From a drama-creation perspective, "nothing happens" is boring. It might be realistic from a world-simulation perspective, but it's not "fun" (for certain values of fun), and it...

I'd recommend making a post about it in Meta. I don't know if it's something Morrus can and/or wants to add, but if no-one asks it's definitely not going to happen.

It's a sucky situation all around. On one hand, the company has promised their backers to deliver Y product in exchange for X moneys. On the other hand, while the company might be expected to have some margin for unexpected expenses, a sudden increase in production cost by 145% (which I think...

If it exists there is... an adult version of it. I believe the first published observation of the rule was a cartoon that showed a young man looking at a computer screen, exasperatedly exclaiming "Calvin and Hobbes!?!"
