    New WotC Layoffs?

    Yup, inserting "Corporate restructurings" into the blank doesn't change the standard use of that phrase in the slightest.

    New WotC Layoffs?

    I'll get right on that. ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you ensure longevity and sustainability for 5th Edition?

    When we picked up the Starter Set last Summer, we also incorporated the Basic Rules right away (several people had a copy) and I peeled off two additional spell books for the casters in the group. That helped too. I also made a poster map of the town of Phandalin to put on the wall where we...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you ensure longevity and sustainability for 5th Edition?

    The problem is that corporation-publishers need to cycle RPGs through editions to maintain a revenue stream and interest in the brand for additional properties. If you want an edition to continue to be played, regardless of the publisher's plans, the market needs tons of material that it cannot...

    Paper Models

    This thread needs more links to cardstock model locations as well as some clever person to find where WotC is hiding that archive of cardstock building PDF downloads . . . :)

    D&D 5E (2014) What to do if a player keeps reading the adventures

    Now, you're talking. Try winging it for a few games. Take an hour or two out of the week to write up something loose based off random rolls from something like the Ultimate Tool Box, fleshed out a bit with some of your own ideas, and boiled down to just a sheet or two of notes. You'll be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh 5e

    I gotta agree with this quite strongly. I think those are two of the more flexible original adventures as far as leaving a lot up to the DM but actually leaving him room to put his stuff in. Some older stuff suggests adding details but often resists having anything added to it. Not these...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh 5e

    Next to Red Hand of Doom, I think the Saltmarsh material in the DMG II is some of the best micro-setting work done by WotC in Era 3.XE.

    D&D 5E (2014) Well played WOTC (or Free RPG Day 2015)

    Naw, I think the problem lies with certain folks thinking any complaint about a single aspect of something they enjoy is somehow an indictment of the whole, and further that all of the complaints they hear/read from individual sources can somehow be collectively attributed to each and every...

    I'm not sure what's wrong with these people. That's a big ten-four! Besides, they have you to keep us good and proselytized. :p

    D&D 5E (2014) Well played WOTC (or Free RPG Day 2015)

    Yup. And I seem to recall a Worldwide D&D Day was scheduled on Free RPG Day a couple years back, even though Free RPG Day was scheduled well in advance. Yup, after a quick search, here's a link to Tenkar discussing it on his excellent blog -...
